| If you feel that, way, your best option would be to consult legal advice on sueing the hospital. Or you could write a book about it and see if you can get it published. Yeah I think that's what I will try. However it's extremely difficult because I signed myself over to the care of the group home w... |

| Social Services where the hospital is located. My social worker is incompetent. The entire system, every one I have been involved with have been terrible. I don't know where to go from here. If I don't get help soon I'll get complications from physical health issues because I think I have PTSD and ... |

| I have a very simple question. Is there a proper way or appropriate place online where I can share my experiences in the mental health system and hospitals? I've been through a lot, although I'm in a relatively stable living situation right now. I haven't been able to get proper therapy for what I t... |

| I think I have PTSD but it hasn't been diagnosed yet. I was stuck in an abusive group home for about 7 months and exposed to a lot of trauma there. I haven't been able to find proper help yet. |

| I can relate somewhat. I have been through a lot of trauma, and when the anniversary of the trauma happens I feel very emotional and relive a lot of the same feelings. Anniversaries are the worst thing ever. The time of year, the dates, etc. etc. I don't need to be reminded of what happened. And yea... |

| If he can't concentrate it's mostly a sensory itnegration problem from his Autism. You just got to give him a weighted blanket, and other deep pressure input like lifting weights and going for car rides (vibrations help.) Massaging chairs, moving chairs and yoga balls when he's doing homework and st... |

| I have a very weak sense of smell, maybe due to allergy and sinus problems. I have a hypersensitive and unfiltered sense of sound, balance, heights, and sight. The height is the most interesting to me because those things become better with deep pressure input. I am unable to even walk up a stepladd... |

| Deep pressure input such as a 15 pounds weighted blanket for my shoulders, a long relaxing drive (vibrations from the road are deep pressure input), repetitive motions or tasks like organizing things, listening to loud music on loop in a quiet dark room. |

| I think I may have posted in this thread earlier, but it's been so long I can't remember. If you're sensitive to noise or have other sensory integration problems, driving can help a lot. The vibrations in the road will give you deep pressure input and calm you down. When I was a baby driving for a f... |

| I don't think reading about death really helps you get your mind off of death. If you got your mind off of death you'd probably feel less depressed. |
