@stillstanding2 , apolgies for the delay in my reply, I suffered a relapse at the end part of Saturday and have not been permitted access until now due to being in "Secure Confinement for the past 2 days".
In answer to your query of myself that is affirmative, yes I have reported said issues and these are being investigated by senior Hospital staff within the Unit.
Kindest regards,
Laurie
@City Slicker again apologies re delay in responding.
In answer I fully agree, if the general populous were to actually recognise the fact that we as "Sufferers / Survivors" of trauma, each and all diagnosed with PTSD have in fact suffered an "Invisible In jury of the mind !" and NOT , IMHO simply have a "Disorder of the mind" and require the same treatment and care/respect as if we were in fact suffering from "Cancer"
And, confirmed, yes, I am NOW finally receiving the level of care from the staff that would be expected of any medical professional (as I was myself many years ago. When I trained in medicine back then, we were conditioned mentally as part of our training that "ALL patientes WILL be treated EQUALLY, regardless of personal prejudices")
Thankyou to anyone who has concerned regarding my mental state at the moment, I am slowly recovering from the events 2 weeks ago. I am finally on my way to being back on track "to coin a phrase". My meds are at last working properly as they have been varied in a major way by the Doctors in recent times due to both mental health issues and newly diagnosed physical issues/injuries (due to those aforementioned physical issues" ) Saturday I suffered yet another major Seizure and have possibly cracked the rear left hand side of my skull as a result, it is firmly believed by medical staff that this resulted as a direct trigger for my previously stated mental health relapse.
Kindest regards to ALL members and Staff regarding concerns surrounding my health. please be assured one and all that I am making leaps and bounds in progress within the remits of recovery and staff are confident that within the not too distant future I will be moved to community psychiatric care.
I am in a very positive frame of mind today and am in no way feeling suicidal as in previous years.
Laurie
