I was sectioned under the mental health act 1983 by my mother after smoking spice black mamba and just want people to no you can stop this evil and turn your life around. It's worse then any street drug.
I was arrested 4 times before being sectioned and sent to millbrook orchid ward were I chose to give up this so called legal high and trust me it was hard.
I started to eat healthy and after few months my high came back down to a normal person with the right medication and professional help I got my live back on track went back to work saw my kids. My time in orchid ward was tough the food was nice. I met a wise man called Andrew who showed me the food trays. Some didn't have the healthy food chart on and on the wall sometimes didn't show the right food nutrition charts.
Also I brought a football in to give to the unit cos they had flat ones. Sorry NHS does know what phycisal health does for mental health. It works wonders to play. Have a team or feel like belong to a group can help young people so much.
The ward was clean. The staff were superb and don't get paid enough for what they do
