Sometimes I feel like I’m on top of things and don’t feel like my trauma defines me and I don’t feel so ashamed and scared. Other times I want to hide from the world and feel like a **** (I’m not going to say the word here since I don’t want to trigger anyone) 😭, I feel so ashamed that I don’t want people to know

Yeah I feel you. My parents worry as well.
I know how hard it is to tell them, but maybe that's what you need if your feeling unsafe.
Yeah private is good. I go to a Healthscope one and it's good. The food there is very nice I would say 8 out of 10 meals are good.
It would be hard having your parents around with police I wouldn't like it. I'm lucky I've moved.
Have you thought of moving out of home?
When I went to the public ED for my attempt it was such a mess there compared to the private one I worked at. I did like how they had a psych area in the hospital but everything was like a psych ward so that was annoying.
Can you financially increase your insurance?
