Getting The Right Treatment

[adrian_newbridge]

Just want to say thanks to all of you who told me to shout and push the local mental health team to get the right treatment. It worked, my new psychologist has agreed to help me cope with the flashbacks and hallucinations. It feels like a big weight has been lifted. I explained to her that if I had cancer and it went into remission and I got discharged from seeing the specialist and then if the cancer came back I would see the cancer specialst again for more treatment. This analogy seemed to work and I'm starting some more trauma therapy tomorrow, so thanks once again for the encouragement you all gave me. If anyone out there thinks this forum doesn't help, YOU are wrong. It's certainly helped save my life and no doubt lots of others too. DON'T GIVE UP!!!!:thumbs-up

Thank guys, it's people lke you who have given me the strength to stand up for myself. I saw my psychologist today and the best thing she said to me was that my mind has a war going on with good and bad thoughts and emotions, instead of trying to win or fearing losing the battle, just step off the battlefield for a bit. Simple but it helped a lot.
