Had to share this with all of you! - Regarding my Therapy!

Kirstenmumof3 wrote: Today I took a very huge step! I phoned the head of the psychiatric department. I left a message explaining that I wanted to file a complaint about my treatment as an in-patient and out-patient of the hospital! I am so proud of myself! I am hoping that my complaint will help other psychiatric patients. I feel that fell through the cracks and that options that should have been made available to me were not! This is the first step for me and I will continue to make these steps toward getting answers! I also made an appointment for me to see my Family Doctor so I could get a referal to a psychiatrist, so that I can finally get on the proper medication!

MommyToAshley replied: That's great! Good for you!

Has he or she phoned you back yet? Let us know how it goes. And, I hope your family doc gives you the referral you need.

paradisemommy replied: yeah!!! wtg! sounds like you are heading in the right direction!!! keep it up!

A&A'smommy replied: yay wtg!!!! Im so happy for you!!!

Maddie&EthansMom replied: It sounds like you are taking great steps to a speedier recovery! I hope you get that referral that you need. I am not aware of all you have been through since I am fairly new to the board...I just know you have been suffering from PPD. I wanted you to know you are often in my thoughts and prayers b/c I feel that is a serious illness and you are so strong to reach out and try so hard to overcome it.

chloe&tysmommy replied: Great news....good luck to you

Heather replied: Thats great! Good for you for sticking up for yourself! Hoping it sets soem examples for others as well!! AND< I hope you get the proper treatment this time around...you deserve to be happy and live your life without worrying about these things!!
