My Probation officer brought me a big bag of food from Ralphs immediately when he heard I was starving. This really encouraged me that somebody cared about and remembered me and took immediate action to do something about this. He also brought a Mental Health officer to see if I needed any additional assistance.
They're not as horrible as Youtube makes you think... They're friendly and helpful too...
Like I said my father was a child Holocaust survivor over 90% of his family was slaughtered by the Nazis in the concentration camps by Nazi sympathizers,etc. Because of my knowledge these horrors and the physical and psychological scars they left behind, I chose to be a compassionate person. Iโm so happy ๐ that U R in a better place.
A terrible time for many. I grew up hearing of such horrific things. My British parents were kids during WWII so they would talk about different things they remembered etc.
Counselling, trying different medications till I hit the right one, working with a psychiatrist, went to a 4 week day program that included daily psychiatry, counselling and group learning/support,........ It was like a variety of things that all came together. Quite a journey. At the end of the day the right medication is what really turned things arounds along with the knowledge of what to do to prevent it coming back.
