It's pretty bad

I am so fucking crazy and no one, NO ONE, will help me. If I go to anyone about my issues, I will most certainly end up in a psych ward. I just don't think I can live like this for another ten fucking years.

when you say no one will help you? Please seek help from qualified professional medical staff. It doesn't have to be bad like this.

if you can be more specific of your issues, we could probably give you some ideas on how to approach it.

maybe a psych ward would be better than the trauma you are going through right now?
Talk to someone. it will be difficult but you will see improvements :)
you can do it!

Don't worry, you won't end up in the psych ward. You won't even get to see a psychiatrist unless you do something dramatic like attempt suicide, and even then you'll be put on a waiting list for almost a year. No, I'm not being sarcastic, I'm 100% serious, it is almost impossible to get any form of mental health care in this city, and i speak from my own experience as well as others i know. The best you can do is talk to your doctor and hopefully get some medication. Good luck, you'll need it.

Check yourself into the VGH for evaluation, they have staff there that can help you. Be brave.

I am in the same boat. If anyone had any idea what thoughts actually go through my mind...

Take my advice

Do NOT go to VGH's psych ward. Unless they have seriously overhauled that place, it will do you more harm than good. CBC did a piece on the state of things there. (You can still watch it on youtube, unless they've deleted it) I wouldn't even put a dog in there. They admit to overmedicating patients to keep control of them, the place is falling apart, asbestos in plain sight. Shit rubbed onto walls by patients never gets cleaned up, it's Hell. Maybe there are better hospitals, but don't even think of putting yourself in their hands. At best, you will see a psychiatrist once a day for 15 minutes, Monday to Friday. That's not even close to adequate care. Why don't you start by telling your family doctor some of the things you're going through? Just wondering why you said you can't go through this for another 10 years? Why ten? Was it just a random number or does it have some significance?

Dear Admins...

Again, I see you've neglected to print one of my responses. Take my word for it, I was in VGH psych ward after a very serious suicide attempt. I think I have a preety clear idea of what goes on in that hell hole. Even my psychiatrist agrees that psych wards are not the place to heal. I did a quick check and the video exists, although it has been removed by youtube. You can still google it: Families slam aging and overcrowded psych ward facilities, (or close to that). I suggested the person talk to their family doctor. Your refusal to print my very knowledgable comment (I was THERE) is only going to hurt that desperate person.

As you can see, we didn't refuse to print anything. Sometimes we can't always get to the comments in the queue.

You have a lovely day.
