I am having a hard time in the partial hospital, they really do need to separate the groups into those who have the ability to sit though a group and focus on a topic and put those who have a hard time with that in a group together so they can focus sole on their needs and keep better track of them. It does no favors for anyone to have both groups mixed. Today one of those that is reality challenged left the room and the building and as of the end of the day had not been found. In the first group one went on and on about something that did not exist at all, while another member was trying to process a hard memory. One of them took my water bottle of of the frig took off all the tape I had around the handle, drinking area and other places with my name! She also drank all the salad dressing with someone else's name on it-yeah drank it. Third group was canceled as someone put out a none existent fire with the chemical extinguisher right out side the door of the group room. By 1pm I could take no more and went down to the lobby to read and wait out the end and the director had a fit because the interpretors were not doing anything. I do have the right to a time out from the craziness, just as the hearing do. While shes busy having a fit about that several of the reality challenged folks left the building(no one is suposed to leave the building during groups) including the one who didn't come back.  This is supposed to be a step down from a hospital, they tell us that it means we need supervision?  What supervision?
After a week and a half they have gotten no where with my insurance company and finding me a Pdoc. They only helped with the food stamp mix up today because I went down and insisted on action. It's only Tuesday!  3 more days of this?
