I hope you are getting the care you need soon Mr Laurie. Things would be so much kinder and gentler without us having to fight all the time to get the help we need.

I am keeping good thoughts for you.
 
@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.

Update..........

Six days dry now and trust me........ I feel great !!!!

This is probably the longest period I have gone without drugs, illegal or legal or an alcoholic drink in the past 27 years.

I can finally see the proverbial (light at the end of the tunnel!) and it feels fantastic. My judgement is no longer clouded and I am sleeping so much better that I forgot to take my sleep meds last night and still slept properly :wtf:

I shall keep updating this thread as my recovery progresses and sincerely hope not to stumble again (which I probably will).

:hug:s and :inlove: to all

Laurie
 
Eight days dry now, no drugs at all for nearly 6 months either, I can hand on heart say right now, it feels great to be sober for a change, I just wish my seizures would stop now, my blooming head kills I have hit it that many times.

We can all survive this Injury of the mind, sending :hug:s to all members.

Laurie
 
Fantastic news Laurie. So many love you and are sending support. And many congrats on the not drinking. I am a recovering alcoholic, and I know that feeling of seeing how bright the colors are now that I'm not self medicating. Sending lots of :hug:'s to you and prayers for nothing but success !!!
