Backward day today. Had to deal with some acceptance issue. Thought I was ready but not so. Waited and waited for some contact but nothing. Had three nurses come and talk me through it- they are helpful but it hurts so much. They all understand but its acceptance that I need to come to terms with. All of us here understand the difficulty in this and we all have similar issues. It is the only place where everyone understands what each other is going through. No judgement, no prejudice, just pure understanding, like you have never been understood before. No matter how many times people say there is no stigma to mental health issues the reality is there is. Most of us here are giving people who have given too much, and now finally it has taken its toll. In many cases patients have been admitted two, three and more times. I dont want to be one of those. I have worked hard over the last 5 weeks or so to improve myself. Understand that years of stress, giving, giving and giving, plus Traumatic stress from Graeme illness, and care, unresolved issues has put me here. When it is all broken down individually by psychiatrist and therapist, it is a wonder that I am here at all. I will keep saying DONT LET A LOVED GO THROUGH THIS ALONE- THERE ARE GOOD PLACES LIKE PINE LODGE THAT WILL HELP AND GUIDE YOU.- SPREAD THE WORD- We need hope and acceptance to move on. It has taken years to get to this state and so too will it take time to fully recover.
