Hahahaha Charlie Health!? What a joke! (CW:SI)
I haven't been great, most people looking at IOP options aren't doing great. But this took the cake. I'm hopeless to the point of comedy now hahaha I just wish it was actually funny.
I've been in A LOT of mental health settings. I even work in one. I haven't had a therapist in a few months and did a bunch of treatment (in person) for an attempt in 2019. But yeah so things have been dark.
So Charlie health.
Getting set up was easy. Then my intake call she tried being funny with me. Okay maybe just a personality clash let's just do this and move on...
But then the groups. I refuse to accept that it's normal to not say hi to new people. My first hour long groups for the first two days were mostly silence. Online it says there's curriculum. Where??
Yesterday and during my call today when I was going through the why-i-want-to-leave stuff, I was told some shit about how the real wisdom is the other clients. Not to invalidate any experiences but I'm pretty sure we're all there for professional help, not peer help. There's a million online support groups for peer help that don't cost anything.
I signed up because I couldn't find anything in person in the evenings in a very large city. I'm about to call my health insurance and see what my real options are, idk why I didn't think of that first.
I'd rather sit in suicidal ideation stew than show up to another one of their joke groups.
I'll update with how the finance things go (payment plan? Weird...)
