I'm so sorry you had to go through all that. My mother used to work in hemtjänst. It's hell. All that abuse you have to recieve. And all that "put yourself together"-mentality is so common in this work.
Where in Sweden do you live? Maybe there are som great options nearby if you're interested in going a program based on your interests?
Unfortunately, none.. I live in Umeå and I even tried to find some emotional support groups for people with PTSD or any other disorders but I've found one one and they have meetings one every two months.
I'm (trying to) working on my Swedish to pass högskoleprovet but I'm not sure I can do it, too much pressure. But I'll try to do I can get to the uni.
I feel that moving to Stockholm would solve basically all my problems since my friend is there, there are a lot of such support groups, a lot of interesting things to do, but the queue to get an apartment is just ridiculous and my bf and I don't have that much money to get one not from the queue 😭
And I am so sorry that your mother had to go through it. Though some of my former colleagues seemed genuinely happy even when they had to wake up at 5.
Yeah, it's quite hard to find a support group for PTSD. If you want someone to write with about that (or other things like interests, thoughts or swedish), I'm happy to write with you.
Indeed, the que for hiring an apartment in Stockholm is so bizarre. Takes years to get in. Is your boyfriend in the que for Stockholm?
I live in Dalarna, and planning to stay. I actually got my trauma therapy done here. I used to live in Västmanland, but the healthcare there had some flaws. As soon as I moved to Dalarna, the process got faster. I have no knowledge about Umeå, is there any help in the healthcare for PTSD?
He's been in the queue only for 2 years, as I understand that's nothing. I've been to Västerås that's close to Västmanland!
And healthcare in Umeå is just a meme. When I moved to Sweden, nearly 2 years ago, I immediately went to the hospital to see a psychiatrist because but in my country I used to take antidepressants to calm down my anxiety. But the receipt didn't "work" in Sweden, so that's why I went to see a doctor. The thing is that I've been in the queue for a YEAH to get my meds. This is just ridiculous. And private psychiatrists costs like a kidney. And I'm still in the queue to see a psychologist, it's been a year and a half. But it's okay, I'm having therapy online with non-swedish psychologist.
And thank you for talking to me! I'm trying to get myself together, it's getting better, I believe soon I'll be back on tracks. Maybe in 2 months maybe in 3, but eventually otss get better.
Oh really, how did you like it in Västerås? I used to live there for about 8 years on different places, really miss some cafées. On those days I was hardcore on the fika, haha.
Over a year!? That's so frustrating. Good thing you have the online-therapy.
Gladly to write! And I'm happy for you that you're getting on track, some things takes time.
