Now the same thing is happening, they're listening to everything my treatment team is saying about me being "unsafe", when I'm not. Now I am the one at fault. I am the one that's wrong. I can't possibly be right. I AM YOUR DAUGHTER. I AM YOUR SISTER. LISTEN TO ME. Not to total strangers who you barely know. What is the disconnect there? If you want to support me how about you believe me every once in awhile. I'm not stupid or something. These people are calling me drug seekers and telling me I need to stay in a group home. I have never even been drunk in my life. Let alone seeking drugs. I live alone, independently and take care of my dog just fine. I clean, I do laundry. I buy my own groceries. I never ask them for help with ANYTHING. And now they want me to throw that all away and live in a group home. I don't need to and nobody will believe me. It's so ridiculous and my family won't even stick up for me. I need them right now and they're not listening again. AGAIN.

lydia from reading your other posts I see that your treatment providers are trying to help you. from your recent past posts you stated you have an alternate personality that is trying to harm you. you have a couple angry posts one angry because you said your treatment providers were not listening to one of the treatment providers that was telling the other treatment providers the alter was going to harm you, and were not going to help you, and another post you were angry because they are sending you to sheppard pratt, an inpatient program that specializes in DID, because you have this alter that is trying to harm you.
the way things stand right now your treatment providers are in a damned if they do and damned if they dont situaiton with you..
you were angry when they wouldnt help you with this dangerous alter
you are angry because they are getting you help for this dangerous alter.
Im sorry but mental health treatment cant please you either way at the moment..
they dont help you...you get angry
they try to help you..you get angry..
whats left for them to do...follow the ethics and laws for this kind of situation since you are not helping them to do whats right for you.
the law in the USA is that anyone that is a danger to their self or others must be either hospitalized or arrested.
some locations have some latitude with this national (since 9/11) law. but they cant do that with you because you are not working with them.
bottom line they have to think about your safety and the safety of all within you. an alter has threatened to kill/harm you. they have no choice but to find treatment for you in a secure/ safe location. you yourself stated in another post that sheppard pratt is a good program.
you can fight this all you want but your family and treatment providers are going to do whats best for you. an alter wants to kill/harm you and you arent helping them figure out what to do..you are posting your angry when they wont help you and you are angry when they do help you.. so they have no choice but to make the decision for you.
if you sincerely believe you dont belong in shepard pratt then when you get there tell them you want a lawyer and a competency hearing. a hearing will be scheduled with the court system and a judge will decide whether you are stable and able to make your own discharge decision. if so then its up to you to sign yourself out, find a place to live and the kind of therapy program that will do what ever you want, instead of the treatment program you are in now that is sending you to sheppard pratt.
