Hello old friends...and hello to new people to the forum. I did not know the best way to check in after a few weeks so i am just starting here. I know our moderators will guide my post along the Connect line.
I was at CROSSROADS in durango, colorado. It is through the Axis Mental Health System. Check the web please for details. When my son killed himself in august, i did not get treatment. I was admitted with a diagnosis of PTSD TRAUMA . i did not have email so i wanted to at least let you all know i am still alive..and i am being carefully and dillegently guided by a group of caring professionals and a grief counselor who specializes in complex trauma. As she calls it. I can just do a little bit each day and i am sleeping constantly. But i am just now starting to get in touch a bit at a time. My message is... WHEN YOU KNOW YOU NEED HELP...GET TREATMENT. DO NOT EVER LET OTHERS STAND IN THE WAY OF GETTING THE HELP YOU NEED. This is especially true of mental illness...as we have all pretty much discovered. My own story really reminds me of this....
The old guy died...and on his tombstone...were these words...."I TOLD YOU I WAS SICK."
Many hugs...
