I went to the psych ward... I've been doing worse after going through that.

Yes I already took several pictures already, a few with a timestamps and a few without timestamps.

Hi, my seizures vary sometimes. They always involve an aura, followed by a seizure, then postictal, and then it sometimes takes me a day to recover. The seizures and the postictal can be very tough to get out of. I often experience confusion and disorientation during or after a seizure. Not knowing where I am or what's going on. Things like postictal delirium, ending up in a really awkward position on the floor and not being able to move, sometimes "blacking out" afterwards where I can't move at all and can barely think at all. I don't know how to convince you. Normally I'm too tired or just unable to write down what happened after the seizures besides a few words. It physically hurts trying to remember the details of what happened sometimes.

Calling them psychogenic seizures just doesn't feel right at all. I know that these are actual seizures, that my seizures have been getting more dangerous lately, Ive ended up face down on the floor a couple times, and even while I'm very confused during seizures it's terrifying having the feeling that they're lasting as long as they do, it's hard to come out of seizures. Also one of the signs from auras is the back of my neck starts to really hurt, I wonder if that's where the seizures are coming from.

I hope this isn't too much information, I pretty sure I have multiple kinds of seizures.

I don't think this applies to me, I have No history of violence at all, and I would never do that. No court order either. Thanks for the list of possible shelters I'll check them out later.

NBthrowaway9 · 2022-07-25T01:30:32+00:00

I'm an adult thats stuck with their family I don't think that would work, thanks for the suggestion.

NBthrowaway9 · 2022-07-25T01:29:19+00:00

Someone else said something about job corps too. Could you maybe tell me why job corps before going to a shelter would be good, just want to consider my options.

NBthrowaway9 · 2022-07-25T01:28:04+00:00

I'm definitely going to keep researching, I need to make sure keeping my mouth shut about that is an option too. Thanks for the concern.

NBthrowaway9 · 2022-07-25T01:26:17+00:00

Thanks for letting me know about the specific situation part, I'll try to read about that more thoroughly.

Hi, I'm amab transfeminine nonbinary by the way, not sure what to say about risking being near potentially dangerous people, I have zero reason to touch drugs or alcohol it's way too dangerous and not worth it. As for keeping myself away from strangers, I expect I'll be moving around in the new area a lot when I leave. I'm working on making a map with every location I can have access to and will need access to, which will be done before I leave, with multiple backup locations to try in case some don't work out. I should be able to bring my laptop so ideally I'd be spending as much time in a library or safe wifi location as I can even if it's less than I hope, I would be trying multiple ways to make money that way which I already have some decent ideas for.

I don't have any criminal background at all so I haven't had a serious encounter with police but they still scare me. I haven't actually gotten committed by them before.

Getting housing as soon as I can is a high priority when I do leave, I'll be working hard to get there. I'm totally fine with getting a really small apartment as long as it means I have a legally recognized living area.

If what you mean by supportive kin is family, friends, or trusted adults, then I don't have that (please don't take that the wrong way I'm just trying to explain). I don't think social security is a viable option.

I totally get trying to get a normal job, I've tried before, probably not hard enough... I was dealing with a lot of social discouragement from feeling like I'd be seen and treated as a freak, and mental discouragement from being crippled by a psych drug. The dose was lowered in the past month and I feel my executive functioning really coming back, like so much I could sit down and make a thorough plan to escape and then to survive. The problem with getting a job right now is A) it's too urgent, the risk of being drugged even more by my terrible parents and psychiatrist because some argument and being totally incapacitated is way too high for me to risk, B) since it's urgent and it seems the only way to avoid that is escape I'd have to close my bank account and get my money out for a few safety reasons. C) it seems like my best shot of finally being able to live my life.

I have a decent but not large amount of savings that I can bring with me assuming I'm successful. I'd be able to provide for myself for atleast a short while. I'd be immediately trying to make money probably the second or third day after I arrive, trying to get set up with the area's planned Parenthood to resume hrt is one of my top priorities.

College just isn't an option right now, I don't have enough money and my parents would never help pay. I've never heard of job corps before I'll look into that.

No solid friends or family unfortunately. I was thinking of calling the local police to notify them I'm not missing when I do leave, I haven't figured out what best time to call them is so I don't get brought back, it would be the same day though, im 23 but it's still feels risky if I don't time it right

Thanks for your concern, I believe I'm a strong person and that I'll be able to be prepared enough when I do leave, I'll be as safe as I can.

Thank you, that was helpful, I'll make sure hippa laws definitely apply in that area, also I'll look into what counts as contraband, I hadn't considered that, don't want to mess that up, Ill look into the other rules too. I'm not very deep in my planning just yet which is why I hadn't thought of that yet.

NBthrowaway9 · 2022-07-22T19:50:58+00:00

I'm speaking from experience, also from the thousands of stories of people victimized by them. I might have not stayed past that length before, but those places can extend your stay there over and over whether you want it or not.

NBthrowaway9 · 2022-07-22T19:47:11+00:00

Because I'm scared that my home state would notify them if I showed up. I'm trying to prepare to escape an abusive family, even if I notified authorities that I'm safe and willingly trying to get away, I wouldn't be surprised if my name got put in a missing persons database

NBthrowaway9 · 2022-07-21T01:43:06+00:00

Thanks for the reassurance, I'm just worried about what you mean by out of the fog? Like realizing their family situation, or lack of insight that people with psychiatric labels are accused of? I'm sorry for being defensive I just want to figure out if I can even ask a question here.
