[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 46837, member: 2315"] Sunny, I agree that this is not a lonely battle. The social worker at the prison says that more and more they are warehousing the mentally ill. He says that all prison employees now have to take seminars on handling mental health issues within the prison population. He said that even when he has severely mentally ill inmates in crisis he often has to wait months for a bed before he can have them transfered out to get the help they need. As for me, some days I feel like I should be out there advocating and lobbying for better mental health services. Other days I feel like I have given my life to this allbeit on a much smaller scale and I need to know peace and begin taking care of me. If I choose the former I will be sacrificing much of what I desire to do with the rest of my days. If I choose the latter my religious background and my champion of the underdog personality won't allow me rest without some smigeon of guilt. by the way I already contacted NAMI and they have no legal advocate in my area.
