I don't feel like the mental health program I'm in cares at all about me

I'm part of this program called ACT where they call me Monday and Wednesday to ask how I'm doing and deliver my medication to me on Thursday. On Monday when they called I told them how I was staying with a friend in a different city and I was having trouble being around my parents. I was really hoping they would call me on Wednesday like they usually do so I could talk about it some more with someone. They never called at all on Wednesday, I don't know why, I feel hurt and ignored. They called today to let me know they dropped my medication off at my parents house, I didn't take the call, I let them leave a message. The message was very cold, nothing about wondering how I'm doing or anything. I tried to ask about any housing options on Monday, when she called today she didn't mention any of that. I feel like this program is an endless parade of social workers who don't do much of anything and don't seem to care at all. It feels useless for me to complain about the way I'm being treated, it is what it is, and I think it's horrible. I don't want to go back to my parents house at all, we haven't been talking to each other for over a week, just stone cold silence. I'm really on my own now.

That sucks. Is there a number you can call to tell them how you are feeling about the program? I would voice your concerns. Maybe there is some confusion around your status that needs to be straightened out. No program is perfect and I think with COVID many of the systems are overwhelmed. That’s not an excuse for you not to get what you need or that you deserve to be ignored. I’m just saying maybe there’s an explanation and addressing it might make you feel better.

Good luck! I hope you get what you need.

Thank you. Yes, it's too common. I feel like I need help and there is none.

There is always help here. It’s very frustrating when you feel you are being ignored and aren’t getting the proper care you need.. you have just got to find the right therapist and reach out to people on here, (which you have done.. the first step is always the hardest) you can talk to any of us privately or publicly, we all understand, because many of us suffer with similar issues... hope this helps!! You’re doing the right thing by reaching out! 😊😊

Thank you so much. I actually called and left a message for a case manager I had a year ago in a different program who was very nice to me, I hope she remembers me and calls me back. The program I'm in now, I think it's really bad and I think I need to just leave it because I really don't like any of the social workers I've met in it, and I don't think that all the blame lies with me or that I have a terrible attitude. I've been through too much with the mental health system. I know this pandemic is stressing out everyone, but I think I deserve better. I'll see what happens tomorrow, thank you for the support!!!

Let us know how it goes, I’ve been through many different therapy’s and therapists too, so you can tell if they are the right one for you, which obviously these ones are not right for you! And yep definitely deserve better!

Hello, well she never called me back today, but I know today's Friday and a lot of times they take off early for the weekend. Still, it hurt that I never heard back from her. I just have to try again on Monday.

[Amethyst1986 in reply to Hidden]

Yes,don’t give up!

I understand how you are putting hope in the program. I am reminded of the saying 'don't put all your eggs in one basket'. your home life and program are not all you have. it's good that you have another place to go. but try not to go elsewhere if it is oy avoiding dealing with difficult issues.

sorry , I don't know what you are dealing with but there are always other options even if we don't see them yet.

try to stay strong.

Thank you for the support, I really appreciate it!!!! I might post something else later on tonight, I'm really in a lot of emotional pain, don't mean to sound dramatic but I'm going through a lot and the people on this site have helped me when no one else has. Thanks again.
