No Longer Trusting

[recoveringfromptsd]

I second this very strongly. I had a scarily similar event happen to me. I fought it but wasn't stro...

I know that, it does not matter, there are so many parts and players in my case, that any investigation and action will take a long time, if I know it is begun I can have something to hang on to. If not then nothing in this world has changed from when it happened.

Then that is what you need to do. Just keep reaching out if you can. Best wishes on this Hurting....

Kept my GP appt, told her what was going on, she actually checked and they are trying to get me a bed on the pratt unit, it is possible it may happen tonight. She is also going to do the reporting so if no one else does it is done.

That's great, @hurtingbadly - good work with following through. It's the hardest thing sometimes.

The good news is my GP is going to do reporting, and I am told that Shepp Pratt Trauma Disorders Unit may have a bed for me tomorrow.

 

[shimmerz]

So very happy for you!

so frustrating, first I am told they have a bed, then they don't, then that my therapist has to do a referral and she is still waiting for that fax, that once they recieve it the team will review it. Its looking like more limbo.

this is still so hard, I am fearful its going to be like this too long.

I was actually promised a bed in a trauma facility in a well known hospital in Toronto, Ontario. They cancelled the whole unit 2 weeks before I was supposed to go. I was beyond despondent.

I am much better now. I learned how to figure stuff out on my own and recognized that many times the help that was offered to me was not actually good help 'for me'. I don't know whether it would have helped me at the time or not.

I hope you get in, if that is what you want. Patience is a very difficult thing to have when one is suffering so. I feel for you.

If that were to happen, I have a feeling they might prepare an detention petition on me, because they know I will see it as just another betrayal, and already my Primary Care doc was shocked when she saw me, and my weight had dropped so fast, and that I had reach a point I was about to fall, and in fact almost passed out standing up to quick last night. Even my therapist today saw I was having problems with dropping things, and trying to handle things like my purse because I had not been eating. They made a point that I am going to have to force myself to eat something, as getting weak like that will complicate getting in. If that were to happen I am probably going to just disappear.

Why would an involuntary hold be a betrayal? It would FORCE the hospital to take you!

Pratt is not a state hospital, so they can't be forced, and being locked somewhere, where I am just being warehoused, and nothing gets done does not seem like a good way to go.
