If I go anywhere, I'll just get sent home. If I ring then I'll just be waiting for hours.

There is no good option. There is nothing left.

Worried about you, @Snowie . Sorry that the admission process has been...delayed? Hoping it gets fixed tomorrow 🤞

Sending care 💙

@NatureLover I don't have any hope in the system. It seems to always let us/me down.

Why bother

@Snowie can you go public to get some immediate care and support and wait for your admission there? I know folks here, have done that. And when I was sent to the private facility for ECT, it was first through a presentation to the ED and a short stay at PECC.
Anything to keep you safe and cared for cause it sounds like that’s what you need at the moment.

Can you maybe reframe it as a mistake that will be fixed soon? @Snowie

I know, I can hear you are at the end of your rope for "hanging on" 😭

I know it's not just me. I know the whole system is broken. I am just caught up in the middle of a complete an utter sh*tstorm

Oh @Snowie I am so sorry this is happening and it is all so wrong. The hospital shouldn’t be taking so long with your admission and surely your pdoc has stressed the urgency.

I went through public last admission until I was considered safe for private but it’s not something I’d recommend . It was quite scary in the public mh unit and I don’t want to ever return there.

Sitting with you 💙🤗💙

@Eve7 I don't want to end up in the public system either. The things I've heard really scare me.

Aye agreed @Snowie it's not your fault, nor does it at all indicate that you're not worthy of the help. I'm so sorry hun 😔

I know that @Jynx but it is hard not to take it personally. When I go into hospital I get a wrist band with my name and a number on it. Is that how they see me, just another number

Oh totally @Snowie it's one thing to know it logically, but to also convince our lizard brain? Very difficult! But you do matter, you're not just a number hun - you're our Snowie!!
