Episode 1 - My Experience In a Behavioral Unit

Teri's experience in a behavioral unit in Portland, Oregon. 
One morning she found herself in the behavioral unit of Adventist Hospital in Portland, Oregon. 

To illustrate, Teri tells her personal story of how a series of traumatic events packed into a short amount of time led her to a breaking point that ended up with her in a behavioral unit.

Her story details the how the desire to have control and find a moment of peace in a chaotic life led her to having a feeling of not having any control and the fear that accompanied it. 

This is a story that mirrors so many of the experiences that people face on the daily basis but don’t get talked about. Teri’s hope is that her sharing her personal story will allow you to see that you are not alone in your struggles. 

 

The night before she had just wanted to sleep, to get off the merry-go-round of her life. 

When she awoke she had no idea where she was and when she realized she was in the behavioral unit, she had no idea how she was going to get out. 

This began Teri's journey to understanding, being misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder 2, and finding her true diagnosis of C-PTSD. 

It’s not easy living anxiety, PTSD, depression, or trauma of any kind. It’s even more difficult doing it alone. This podcast is here to show you that YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
