I don't get this: [View all]

There is no long term hospital available for me when things get bad,At most a month.I start to get better and I am discharged too soon then I crash.I asked my therapist if there were long term options on MA and there are none.It's sad that you have to commit a crime to get long term care. How can a hospital help me in two days? I was inpatient the beginning of this month for 2 days.WTF.

Secondly some kinds of problems are not a short term fix,you can't tinker with the medication and then they are ok.
There are times I wish I could go somewhere long term , investigate the place first, go there like over a year,and get help specifically for trauma.Sometimes I don't feel safe tackling some issues on the outside.
But as it is now I'd have to commit a crime to get treatment long term.

That is not right.
