Can you make a stink and ask for another case worker? Hospitalization is not the answer to ptsd unless there is really "more" involved then just medicating a patient "more" in an effort to stablize the patient. I can understand where you are coming from as I was not "helped" at all when I was hospitalized, in fact, it only traumatized me even more.

Did you tell your case worker that you were physically and sexually asaulted in the hospital? What you really need is a place to live where you are not having to deal with a room mate that is so triggering and you need to have access to a therapist as well as a support group.

What you have discribed is how our Mental Health Care system is still very inadequate in spite of the attempts made to try to "improve" on that problem. Have you searched the net for possible ways of gaining more help in Massachusetts?
