[QUOTE="Andy, post: 173850, member: 5096"] The stay itself would not be a bad memory - just the event leading to it. The behavior leading to the decision to go to the ER, the fear of what was going on. Those are scary memories. You may have had a better handle of what was going on then I did, but going through ER and following an ambulance was a level that I did not have to be on - those are heartbreaking in themselves. Actually the stay needs to stay as a supportive memory. My difficult child was glad he went to the psychiatric hospital but states he doesn't want to go again. The memory of those days are ones of where help was found, they actually are good memories. Your experience is helping you through this. You do know what your daughter is going through and that is the best help of all. Your experience will also help her. My experience comes from working at an acute behavioral health facility that treats the most acute and chronic people. I only saw the very worse life that my difficult child was headed for. It saddened and scared me to no end. I have since learned that my facility only treated a small percentage of behavioral health and that many people have these medical issues and still have happy and healthy lives. I now have hope that he may get through this on a good life road. [/QUOTE]
