Yesterday a woman in group asked me how I managed to get mental health services without being hospitalized first. Apparently, it's not that easy to get in. It's not always easy to be hospitalized, either. One woman spent three days at the hospital, waiting for a bed to open up so she could be admitted. Can you imagine that? How fortunate that I was able to start peer group counseling so soon.
Mentally, I'm thinking clearly. Emotionally, I'm percolating just fine. Physically, I feel pretty good this morning. I am hopeful that this will be a good day. Today I will focus on today.
When we are sure that we are on the right road there is no need to plan our journey too far ahead. No need to burden ourselves with doubts and fears as to the obstacles that may bar our progress. We cannot take more than one step at a time.

You know, they did seem surprised for us just to walk in and say we wanted services. Probably an unorthodox way in. It seemed to work.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember much about that day. It's interesting that you say they seemed surprised. I didn't notice. I just remember you giving them your card and telling them to write down your cell phone number.
