Ask Your Question today
Currently, I am in a treatment center in Ogden, Utah. I've been here for a year and 38 days. My therapist stopped answering me and no one here will let me know how I am doing. Is it normal that I need constant reassurance? I would love to be enlightened. Thank you!
It's normal if you have an anxiety disorder, yeah.
Let me break it down.
If you are asking the nurses how you are doing several times a day then it is normal to eventually be ignored. Many of these nurses are just there and have little psychiatric training and the ones who do... well... understand that their position requires a pretty thick skin and it is a treatment facility and you are an adult. This is where you go to be treated and coddling is not treatment. Basically, you are there to be in a place free of danger and distraction where they can isolate your specific needs and treat them but you're not the only patient there.
Your actions may be demanding. If you are seen by someone every day and you ask the person how you are doing WHEN IT IS YOUR DESIGNATED TIME TO SEE THEM and this person is QUALIFIED TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS then you are fine. You are receiving treatment. If you don't think you have gotten better then you have not gotten better. Tell your therapist that you have not gotten better. Follow their instructions. Believe it or not, there is a method to this shit.
Worst case scenario, you sign out AMA and find another facility if this one is not meeting your needs.
Good luck.
Wellbutrin is great shit, by the way.
If you need reassurance you are most certainly a woman. If not a woman then most certainly you are mentally I'll.
Maybe you should curl up in a corner and start talking to yourself.
Plot twist: Maybe, you're hallucinating this entire site and really just writing to yourself.
