Back from hospital
I had a home visit this morning from health care workers who became concerned for my welfare because of the horrible living situation I’m in with my abusive neighbours and I didn’t answer my phone. The neighbors from hell had gone on another drunken abusive rampage last night with me as the target again. I didn’t have any intentions of hurting myself but they obviously didn’t believe me. They left after talking to me but surprised me by coming back 30 minutes later with police and ambulance. WTF? I was shangaied into going with them and was assessed by about 6 people at hospital. I think I got more attention than a terrorist would. 2 blood tests, 2 doctors and 4 nurses. They decided I was having a normal reaction to a bad situation, my bloods were clear, not drunk, all other health indicators ok and here I am back home wondering what the hell just happened.
Its hard being back here in the same situation and I’m hyperventilating and shaking a bit because I cant get away until I find another place but I have someone helping me with that now. The health care people saw the neighbors and they agree it’s them, not me and that they are horrible people. I wish they hadn’t gone over there because of privacy but what’s done is done. The police went over with them so at least they might back off now. At least I know now my credibility isn’t at stake and I am not considered paranoid, delusional or whatever.
Now to just breathe and concentrate on getting through this until I can move out.

Thanks invisiblefriend. Hard in the current climate to move but I live in hope.
Im so sorry this has happened but im glad hopefully things are going to get sorted and your neighbours are going to behave better from now on. How terrible. Let urself process whats happened.things like this can actually feel pretty truamatising. I know having bern through mental health assesements with emergencey services and mh teams many times. It can be very traumatising. Hugs.
Thanks S. I know you’re going through hard times too so it’s nice of you to reach out.
I'll bet you're tired of hearing me say that I've found triggers for my psychoses (pl) everywhere I've run to across 3 continents. If it ain't one thing, it's three. In my wilderness retreats, the obnoxious neighbors tend to have more than two legs, but they are equally obnoxious.
May your next flight run lead you to that trigger-free Nirvana.
Sorry looney so dang sorry they ran you thru the ER now who pays that bill? Them? Doubt it but hell they can blow your money if they move you to better situation than current one
I'm so sorry you're having to go through this. I hope you're able to get out of there soon! Hugs.
Shaky. I am so glad that those actions were taken. Sorry you had to go through the assessment, but your reality was confirmed. Police talking to them may have had an impact as they usually include a warning about charges if called again. Meanwhile, good luck with finding a safer environment to live in. Supportive and comforting hugs.
Thanks for your support everyone.
I don’t have to pay for yesterday thankfully Bill. It’s covered in Oz because I am on a pension.
Holy cow, shaky, that's like how I was once "helped" by "friends" when I went through my divorce back in 1999. With friends like those and with help like that it's harder than it has to be to get through what is already a crisis. So sorry they wasted your time, energy, and patience like that, and then left you back at square one with that bad neighbor living situation. Maybe next time they will be the ones hauled away instead of you. Sending you lots of support right now.
Thanks muji. Sorry that happened to you too when you just needed a bit of support. I remember you posting that once. Some people just love a drama don’t they, and that’s part of the job of mental health workers. Hopefully now they know I don’t lie and delude myself they will not run everything through a disbelieving filter.
I’m applying online for new places but they are few and far between and good rentals are snapped up pretty quickly. Hopefully my luck will change.
