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.

I don't ever remember writing a post about being angry because someone didn't believe I had a dangerous alter. Where exactly was that? There isn't a single person who doesn't believe it. That's exactly what I'm talking about. Except my inpatient psychiatrist and I agreed with her! I was upset with her because she told me DID didn't exist period and that's why she didn't believe it could be possible. Those are two total separate things.
And as far as being angry, I think it's a relatively normal expression to being told you're going to be sleeping next door to felons in group home for the next year. I'm sorry am I supposed to be happy about this? I think you're reading its and bits of my story through my past posting, but you're not getting the entire picture. My parts come on here to write randomly, but they don't show the entire picture. Like I haven't mentioned that after I get out of Sheppard Pratt I will be spending a year in a group home, because they have deemed me incapable of taking care of myself. I haven't mentioned that part of the reason I am upset with my family is because an extremely valuable member is upset with me for needing all of this. You can't go back and read my posts and assume stuff. It's not fair to me as a poster. Because when you write stuff like this it chases away people from writing supportive feedback for that part that needed it at the time. This is the second time you've tried to "catch up to me" now. It's not helpful.
I don't need you to show me the entire picture. That's why I'm going to Sheppard Pratt. I come here for support, not to be woken up from some dim sleep. I am not well right now, but I would appreciate it if you didn't remind all my parts of that, because some of them don't know that and are purposely being protected from that for a reason.
