I really don't know what to do anymore. I was in the hospital again, which I just got out last sunday and went back on Wednesday. So that is not so good. Things are not going well inside at all and well everything is so chaotic. We are scared and we want all to be well. But now I am in respite care for 5 days at something like a nursing home. It's really really belittling for me. Especially since I am only 20 and it's really hard because I am going to college right now and of course it's online, and I dont have internet there. I am at my parents house now, where I usually live. The people at the hospital wonder if my home life is triggering me. I don't really know because I got hurt again last night at the other place, though it wasn't as bad. I really just need some support and advice right now, I'm so lost.

yes, you certainly are going through alot.

Try to remember respite care is there to help even when it seems belittling. If you had something physically wrong with you and had to use it, you probably wouldn't feel so belittled im guessing(opinion). Its hard sometimes to remember that mental illness is just the same as physical illness in that it sometimes requires treatment.

Yeah, things got better as time went on there. I actually decided to live there for awhile, so that's good. Things are going better without being around my parents, so something must have been going on internally when I was home. I am not getting hurt by Michael (my part) as much and not as serious. Well thank you for responding and you are very right, people with mental illness need help sometimes too, just like people with physical illnesses.

I am so glad that you are doing what it right for you. Staying safe is what matters. I am glad you are seeing that people with mentall illnesses deserve the same care as people with physical illnesses. Please take care of yourself and stay there as long as you need.
