A disagreement is fine, that's what conversations are about.
Perhaps I was projecting my own views that I have had a relatively positive relationship with my parents.
I know for some on here and not on here that family either does not understand one's woes or mental illness grinds against the family and arguments are a part of such a relationship. NAMI wouldn't be the first to know about this.
I guess I'm just saying that it is frightfully expensive, insurance does not pay for things well, staff are not always the best in non-academic, state hospitals, which largely don't exist any more, not here at least, except for the criminally ill.Becoming a ward of the state is not a great thing to be and that is one reason to struggle to achieve. Its something that I worry about, I know I project to the infinite future at times and all we can work on is the present and worry about how the next steps unfold. Anyhow, I think I'm diverting from the conversation.
As for anorexia nervosa, I have no experience on that so I can't say anything about it other than it is one of hundreds of diagnoses and can be treated in an outpatient way successfully. It may require strong will, intervention from friends, etc. Just like any other condition, you could create scenarios, something I do too much about myself. Okay, so now I'm projecting again -- well I think we all project.
Anyhow, let's just say I was lucky to have what care I could have in a hospital that does no longer exist in that capacity or financial ability in the 21st century. And there was an incident that made me very angry and violated, which I won't go into at this point.
So that's my take and you can have yours.
