people at Tower in Reading were uninformed and didnt understand what they were seeing. Or maybe some did but they didn’t know what to do.
but I got out of there. Once and done. They took their best shot. You can’t go back on it. They said they wanted me to never go to another psych ward/hospital again. I would stay until they were satisfied this would be the last.
we aren’t playing patty cakes here.
the MH system today is the resolution of the problems of separation of Church vs, state. For those who aren’t contented with nationalism and politics and there is always Christian counsel and sometimes other belief systems that are supported also.
I was sainting the staff members at Haven who helped me lol!
it’s not funny that probably is what needs to happen.
in the absence of a state church there has to be some other kind of safety net in this wild west world and it’s pretty obvious to me that MH World would be it. The EAC UNITs (extended acute care) are a huge step forward from the state hospital/group home system. They need to cross their t’s and dot their i’s a little better. Probably because I almost qualify as a local, i did get the benefit of care that I do not ordinarily receive. But I took a real beating in a way that I only get in PA.
I worry so much about how much I have cost the state. Why? For what reason? And I realize that there so many others held in the psychiatric system paid gazillions of dollars for long term stays again and again just like me.
I dont have any answers about this; just observations.
