I am on disability so I can get a wheel chair in New Orleans to wheel me right to the curb. I will grab a taxi and and I am on my way. I am tired of being afraid, it's time for me to pull up my big girl pants and just get on with it. It will be a challenge but I know I can do this!

RO...........I know it will be good for me, I have a plane ticket for tomorrow at noon...ughhh and I just feel really fearful. I would like to get a hotel room and chill when I get off the plane b/c I will need to relax. I fear I will be over stimulated...but everyone, family and such, say I...

I am going today, i think..... if you want to go to a stabilization you have to call every am to see if they have a bed.

I am near syracuse NY and Neither of my parents feel comfortable flying. My sister offered at the end of June and I said yes. Then the night before I just started hysterically crying and she kept saying quit your crying, you're being a drama queen, are we going or not. So, I just said NO we are...

Hey everyone, I need help! I was accepted at River Oaks for trauma treatment. I have tried to get on the plane something like 5 times!! What I am I going to do? I am fearful of flying alone. I have never been so far from home, only been on a plane once, and didn't like it....I need someone I...

Hello FauxLiz, I am going to River Oaks, I am terrified. I think they can help me. But getting there is the issue, and the thought of it being a locked unit is scary. I am sorry, I have never been so far from home. My trust issues flare when I am upset. Any info you can give me would be great. I...

I was at the Therapist today, and my Parents asked my sister to fly with me. Which adds a whole new level of complication to things. She is lecturing me on how to act on the place and to control my emotions etc. I am trying not to be too scared about going, and to add all of this on top is...

at this point, having so much time has gone by, I am switching my focus to River Oaks. I don't like to fly and I have no idea how I will get my shampoo and stuff down there with the flight rules. But, I know I need the help and I believe I will be able to get the help I need at River Oaks. I can...

It all seems so overwhelming to me. But, I get that way easily. Do you live far from New Orleans? It sounds like you had a really good stay there. I am thinking of putting sheppard pratt to the side and opting for River Oaks. I just want to be someplace safe.

What did you think of River Oaks? Were the nurses kind? Kimberly in Admissions seems nice. I am not sure if I can trust her. I mean I hope she is truthful. Were you allowed to have books or music?

I am afraid that they really won't accept me if I am pushy...part of me thinks my therapist should grow a backbone so I don't have to be the one to make yet another inquiry.

Yes, we have both made inquires. They told him they would have a decision in 48 hours that was a week ago last Friday. I know River Oaks is an option also, but I live in central NY and it would be very expensive to go that far away. It's tricky to find a good place near by when you have medicare.
