Bad Care

I've been immersed in our country's mental health care recently. Not only did I spend eight days in an inpatient hospital for considering suicide, I also spent two weeks in an outpatient program.

Now, what if the care you are receiving is making you relive your trauma?

This is the core of the problem for me right now. It stems all the way back to the couple that raped me. The woman who assisted was a nurse.

I felt as though I needed them. I felt that they were my surrogate parents for a couple of months. They had children older than me, so I trusted them. I was only nine years old.
