Unfortunately, there is not one of us that has not had to struggle before we got help. As for the negative experiences with staff - be assertive, speak your mind, and keep asking for what you need. In my experience as both a practitioner (first) and patient of (later) mental health, I have learned that even in this arena, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Sometimes, like it did with my recent hospital stay, it comes with a significant financial cost, but had I not been hospitalized, I might not be here to type this...I do wish you well, Creative1onder .
