Question:
permanently into the ether: Hi, I’m new here. I have Bi-Polar. I can’t remember the term but I cycle pretty rapidly. My question is have any of you attended a CRO ? Some locations refer to it as a "Drop-In-Center". What were they like and how did it help you. There is a new one trying to get started in my town. I don’t know if it would be something that can help. I have attended for years a pyschosocal group. I have noticed a trend the past 2 years of the staff building up the clientelle’s self-esteem and then demanding that they follows rules that my granddaughter in pre-school would have to follow. Now I am just trying to keep myself from entering a hosp. I am just at my wits end about grief-work over something that happended about 9 years ago. Rena
Hello Rena- I’m not sure what a CRO is. From your description, it sounds like you may need to attend to keep your "balance" when it comes to the doctors that hold your life in their hands. IOW, doctors who can send you to the hospital and can order other kinds of treatment or care that you may not want. It sounds like you are being forced into this group, in order to keep you out of the hospital and living the way you currently do. What a nasty circumstance! I also get that you have Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome and maybe this group is not so good for treating that. Maybe there is another group that would suit your situation better? Since I’m a bit confused about your exact situation, I really cant give much more free advice or opinions.
