What would you say?

The VA has this BHIP program and supposedly it's where I will meet with a Psychologist, Psychiatrist, SW, and MD I think I left one out. But anyway...I'm suppose to tell them what I think I need as far as treatment. I don't know what I need , but what we have done so far is not moving along for the time and effort put into it.
Looks like the VA is going to finally start helping the women veterans more.

That is great. What I like is he's not trying to say that the VA is doing it, but that they are striving to do it, and have a long way to go. It kind of gives you hope.

I saw this article yesterday and I really liked it:

5 Things Women Veterans Want Everyone To Know

Anyway -- the program you mention above, if done right, it seems like it could be a good program. It all depends on the professionals that make up the team and what works best for the individual. Are you going to try it?

By the way -- Happy Veteran's Day yesterday!

Happy Veterans day to you as well, a little late but still mean it sincerely.
That was a good article thanks for sharing. We are all veterans, I wouldn't wear a shirt that said women veteran.
Now if the VA will put their money where the mouth is that will be great.
The BHIP meeting is stressing me out. Going into a room of people I may or may not know is stressful. Then what do I say I need? I don't know.

I agree, a veteran is a veteran.

Also agree, I hope the VA follows through.

I'm not sure about this meeting. I think you've mentioned before in other posts that generally, you want your life back. Is that enough. To tell them, this is what I've done in the past, this is what I do now, I want something different?

I understand your stress. I truly do, and I'm not sure how I would handle it myself.

You are right I have said I wanted my life back, but now I think those were just words. Because I don't remember what life was like before. Finding that some parts of my life have been a lie as to being happy. I just don't know what to tell them, but I don't want to show up with nothing.

Maybe come up with a list of things that you want to do, that you currently can't do? Help putting your past behind you and concentrating on looking forward?

Those are good questions. But I feel so numb that I don't know what I want to or would look forward to.

Maybe that's the answer then. Help finding where you want to go, what you want to do.

Okay, I can tell them that. The meeting is tomorrow
Thanks.

I hope it goes well!

I'm really dreading it

How did it go?
