I was having major mental issues so I was sent to this facility on RTC and I was having a hard time there in the middle of my stay I was self-harming and giving up and the thing that turned me around was state. I realized that I needed to wake up and do my treatment to be able to leave so ultimately I was there for 11 months and I discharged as in left and went home. I got really attached to all of the female staff. I am really grateful to have been there because I would not have survived if it wasn't for my therapist there and a whole bunch of amazing staff.I survived and got away from abuse and suicide. To anyone who is reading this who is struggling with suicide just do your best to help yourself go to a place to help ("yourself "). If you don't want to change then no one can help you. I had that mindset that I did not want to change I liked how the self-harming pain felt but the only reason why I didn't want to change was because I got so used to the people there they loved me for me and I liked that I had to realize that I can't live my whole life in a mental facility even though I wanted all of the extra support from them. I did family therapy which is when your parents come to the facility to treat the misunderstandings that lead you to do what you did but for me we had to call and do it that way. I do understand how our relationship changed between us but when I got home (I got home a month ago) It is like it never changed and I felt that way because I did not communicate my feelings so now I am emailing my foster mom how I feel and I am being honest. I do feel depressed at times a angry but I do my best to cope with it. I almost slipped up again but I controlled myself. I am hopefully going to see all of the staff again soon. This was my story and how I overcame all of the struggles in my life and if you are reading this and you struggle then do something about it because no one can change you the only person that can is you others can help along the way but you have to want the change so do it you deserve to live a happy and successful life if I can do it you can to. I can say that this facility did help me and that they did care and still do care about me. A lot of staff picked there favorites and I was definitely one of them.
