Thread Name: BS: Thoughts for Mrrzy
Subject: RE: BS: Thoughts for Mrrzy
Refreshing for those who might have missed
the latest very reassuring updates, previous.

Now, because Mrrzy has been so candid in their posts
about looking into different lengths of care:

here is more encouragement, should it be needed,
to consider long-term treatment -- it IS out there --
once one is discharged, "safe," and out of the danger zone,
and feeling better.

Because, I have looked around, and in fact it is true:
there are treatment facilities that
admit patients who have sought the short-term suicide-prevention treatment elsewhere,
and have been stabilized already.
By this I mean, institutions that prefer
NOT to do the acute secure-ward treatment,
but to do the long-term follow-through work
in order to ensure that one does not repeat the
'danger zone' experience.

It's Mrrzy's and their caregivers' call, of course.
But, for heaven's sake,
if more attention is called for and needed:
don't stop here,
go on out there and get what you need.
We'll be behind you all the way.
