i can't say it better than void. sometimes i feel like because i've never been hospitalised, i've not been taken seriously, because i see other people on RYL beign treated differently by those in charge of their care. or something like that, though not nearly so coherent in my head! but i know, like you, that it's because of the support i've got outside of hospital, and also the efforts we make (not that thos ewho are hospitalised aren't making an effort of course. not making much sense am i?) that have kept us out. for me it's mostly been my parents, and i am grateful to them for that. hospital may be helpful but it seems for a lot of people it creates new problems too.
i really respect you and the strength you have. thank you too for voicing some of the things i have felt.
