I wish more people would look after the family. We have been there only twice a week but have never seen anyone else to visit their family or friends. This hospital has almost 10,000 patients and close to 1000 employees that seems unreal to me and no one seems to be there to visit. That is heartbreaking to me. I would love to be there every day and am looking for a place to rent in the area so I can be. Suicide: Why Do the Neighbors Talk but do Nothing?26 Jun 2009 08:25 AM I realize that most people still think of mental illness as taboo or a disgrace of some kind. They just can not get past this and it for some is not easy to bring up. But what gets me is so many of these people wind up dead or in an institution as my niece has. but no one goes to see them and this lady will no doubt be one of them too. But come on people visit the more the better we live 135 miles from where my niece is and we get there twice a week and now we will be taking her out on day trips from 8 am to 7pm. it will be better soon when we can bring her home. With out the visits from us and her mother and brother she would never have made it so far. If you believe in god or not believe in your love for those you care about and face the impossible and fight. You too may find it is only impossible when you sit on your backside and do nothing. Check what is happing to them sometimes they are given a lot more medication then is good for them as my niece was. We had to fight the state hospital, DR.'s, social workers and the judge. but we did what was best for her no matter who wasn't happy with our interference. The cops aren't the only people whose job is to serve and protect its family work first. Cops and others only when necessary! Avoid them if you can which is not always possible for your loved ones sake. Do what you can in or out of an institution and fight till you get what is best for your loved ones. but be there visit and make sure no matter what they say you tell them how much you love and care. In Florida state hospital unit 1 her Social workers or what ever they call them selves would lie to us about anything and everything when I finally had enough I let them hear my attitude and I was neither polite nor clean mouthed about it if that bi**h had been in front of me at that time she would have false teeth today. |
