Residential Treatment Centers/Programs? Anonymous 2017-09-12 05:45:12 Post No. 8854535 [Report]

So things have gotten really bad for me since something happened on Friday. I've started stuttering, developed involuntary spasms that happen occasionally when I think about certain things or just out of nowhere, and sometimes just looking at pictures of cis women or myself in the mirror can flip some switch in my brain that makes me scream out loud. Like really scream and it freaks my family out. I'm afraid that I'll do something like that at school, or a professor will call on me and I'll start stuttering the answer, or I'll have a spasm and people will see. It's bad.

I wanted to go back to the hospital psychiatric ward, but my insurance doesn't cover it anymore, I got switched to a new provider a while ago. So I'd have to go back to this psych facility that is pretty much really bad, and I just don't want to go there right now.

So my mom wants to me to go into a residential program, like a place where I would stay for maybe a long time, and the doctors/psychiatrists/counselors or whatever would work hands-on with me and try to work through my problems over time.

That sounds nice and all, but some part of me is kind of depressed about it. I feel like this is just me giving up kind of, and letting myself be carted off to the loony bin, where I can't take classes or anything. And for all I know, I'll end up racking up a huge bill for my family anyway, when I don't even know how to pay for my surgeries yet.

Has anyone had any experience with these things, or similar rehab? Does it really help? Do you think it would stop my stuttering and other symptoms?

I never found one that was particularly gay friends, let alone trans friendly but I've been to three of them. It sounds like you are having a tic. The only medicines I know that are commonly used for that are anti-psychotics and they have wacky side effects. Maybe therapy though could help calm your reaction to things somewhat. Do you find talking things out with people helpful? Do you want to be around a group of similarly aged people?

friendly* but that was just my bad luck perhaps, I'm sure others have had better experiences finding LGBT peers in rehab.

So do you scream cause you're trans or just like a turbo gay afraid of vaginas.

Are you going to seek professional help if you don't go in to residential treatment? Because you need help.

Please don't do this. They'll take away your body autonomy. It'll keep you from school and overall it'll be a bad thing unless you're absolutely on your last legs

Well at the psych places I've been to, they just kind of work around it, like they put me in a room by myself instead of with the boys or the girls. I mean maybe I would prefer having a female roommate to being totally alone, but at least I get my own little bathroom and I can do whatever I want at night, like pace/write/watch videos on my phone.

The biggest difficulties I've had have been with older guys who creep on me, but I think a residential center might be more segregated in that respect, and I'm a big girl so I can handle myself. There have also been problems with staff who don't get me what I need, so I start freaking out over not having my medication, then the staff lies to my face about it and makes me feel like I'm actually crazy, etc. Just run-of-the-mill psych ward BS.

The only real problem would be if another patient clocked me. In the state I'm in now, I would probably freak the fuck out and I'd probably have to be sedated. But I don't think that's happened in a long time.

Yeah I'm pretty sure any mainstream place would make you room alone rather than place you with a female roommate. I wish I was allowed female roommates in rehab, but I'm not trans, it just seems like a nicer environment.

Yeah if you need to be sedated often I'd recommend a more medical facility, or at least a place with nurses nearby at all times.
