So I am relatively new to the whole identifying your triggers. I don't know what a lot of my triggers are but I recently discovered a very bad trigger for me is mental hospitals. Yet most people would tell me that's where I need to be. "They can help." I can't handle going back there again. Last time I went just to visit a friend a couple of weeks ago & I am still really messed up from that. I can't goto any type of Dr about my problems because of my fear that they will lock me up. So where am I supposed to turn to for help? I know I desperately need help & any dr worth their salt would agree. Unfortunately most Drs would want me committed & I can't do that. I have gone with the trial and error method & my error landed me in a mental hospital for 4 days.

I'm struggling with this question. Unfortunately, I've only ever come up with more trial and error methods. They aren't working too well.
You could do a lot of background research on doctors you think could help. Look at their history and statistics. Might allow you to find a good one. There's no real guarantee in that method but it's better than going in blind.
Thanks for this!

Sorry you are still without help. I have the same fears you do. I thought I was in the clear, after 3 visits. Then I tried to fire my T, and wrote a nasty letter on the back of the request for new T form. It's a process for sure, trying to get help when we don't trust anyone. I hope you are doing as well as you can under the circumstances.
Thanks for this!

Sorry humptydumpty that you feel so bad.
I can understand that hospital may not be a helpful place.

Where I live they try to keep people out of hospital wherever possible as it's recognised that hospital admission can be a source of trauma in itself (though there are obvious risks to that policy as well).

I really hope you can find some sort of support appropriate to your needs.

I wish that were the case here. Where I live it appears to be the exact opposite.
