The journey begins... river oaks

[FauxLiz]

@Faith Andrews i think I can guess where you had your bad experience. I looked into one like that and there was a woman at river oaks that transferred from that program for that same reason. While the ED program was in the same building at River Oaks as a trauma patient our program was only minimally impacted by the program what that means is we had to ask to access the kitchen and bathroom access was only through our bedroom so they could be monitored but they slept and did group work in a different hall/module.

@Sandstone I learned ways to manage my negative coping behaviors. I don’t have them mastered but I will keep working on them. I learned how to begin to set boundaries with my family but most importantly I learned I am not alone and that there are people out there willing to support and assist me with my healing. I am not alone.

oh @FauxLiz I can't believe it! all that preparation and worry and then the insurance company screwed it up. that just breaks my heart.

I'm really proud of you for how you are handling it -- and that you are willing to try it again when the insurance stuff gets sorted out.

@FauxLiz thanks so much for sharing that info. I left feeling worse and like a failure. Maybe one day I will get courage to try again at a place like River oaks.

Sending you best wishes on your time at home until you are able to return.
