Help after mental health hospital
Hello everyone,
My name is Maciej. I was recently discharged from a psychiatric hospital after my ninth hospitalization. For the first time, the treatment has genuinely helped me, and I’m finally experiencing a real positive shift in my condition.
I’m currently waiting for admission to a specialized depression and anxiety treatment center. The waiting time is approximately 3 to 6 months, which leaves me in a difficult transitional stage where I’m no longer in acute care but not yet fully stable.
My past includes long-term trauma, violence, and bullying. These experiences shaped a large part of my mental health struggles, but I want to be clear that I am not defined by them anymore. I’m actively working on rebuilding my life, stabilizing, and moving forward in a more functional and independent direction.
A friend kindly helped me cover my hostel accommodation, so I currently have a safe place to stay. However, I am still struggling with day-to-day survival needs, specifically **food and prescribed medication**.
Specifically, I need help covering my prescribed medication, which includes **Asentra (Sertraline) 200 mg daily, Lamotrigine, Prestarium, Betaxolol, Budesonide for asthma, and liver-protective medication**.
I have also managed to find a job, but I won’t receive my first paycheck until the 10th of next month. This creates a difficult financial gap that I am unable to cover on my own right now.
I’m not asking for long-term support — only help to get through this short but critical transition period while I continue building stability.
If anyone would like proof of my situation, I am more than willing to privately share redacted hospital documentation and discharge papers. I am also open to sharing more about my story if needed.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this, and for any kindness or support you may be able to offer.
I'm from Łódź, Poland.
