Hello forum friends!
i hope this finds all of you well!
Yes it is 4am, yes I do have psychiatric appointment today.
Its my first and we're to be discussing my admission to a Prevention and Recovery Care Service facility and I'm so terrified. What goes on? What amount should I be budgeting(Centrelink cut me off yesterday because I can't look for work)? What if they want to keep me forever?
Im sure a few of you have first hand experiences with PARCS and I'd love to hear about it. I'm not very good at replying, and I apologise for that, but know that I will read your response and try to form answers to any questions you might have about my as yet undiagnosed condition and the circumstances surrounding this pending stay in care.
Y'all are fantastic, thanks in advance!

Hey, thanks for the reply,
After my appointment Wednesday I walked away with a 3 month certificate and an intake interview date and time.
Next Wednesday. I've been told to pack a bag for "a little while", my nurse is pretty casual, I'm thinking about asking to see someone else, but that's something to deal with later.
I'm hoping to gain some knowledge about dealing with post traumatic stress while at PARCS, so that I'll be able to get back into work at some point, I hope. I feel like it's a tremendous goal, that I have yet to put an end date on, since I don't yet know how effective the strategies will be for me.
Since realising that I was going to be admitted, I feel quite relieved. I know of several people who rave about the optimal health program, which is run through a community outreach program, conference style (for those not in the facility or maybe the facility came after the community program started, I don't know!). I've had a great couple of days impromptu celebration of my pregnancy with friends.
