Saltspring Island is in British Columbia

[Deleted member 29113]

Does anyone know this town? Saltspring Island. I have no choice, I need to leave my home town, too many expectations about my mental health. I've been travelling before. I need some intel about what to expect. If I do end up on t he Island, it will be to regroup and send people the right message. Psychiatrists and mental health workers, those kinds of people. Like I want them to know, back home I am feeling under pressure. The right message would be, hey I have a life and being backed up against a wall makes me feel super uncomfortable. Thinking some time away would be good. They'll see that, I'm sure. Maybe set up a small encampment before I go to motel. Wondering who I'll meet. Ah, anyway, thinking about this makes my head hurt. Alls i'm saying is, the way things are looking with my medications and support workers I have, they make me take my meds at 10:00 erry night, i'm depressed as shit over it. If I can shake them for just a month of living in the bushes where I won't be seen. I would be sending the message that I am no longer ok with them and their bullshit certification.

first, i've moved your thread to a more appropriate section (canada).

second, i don't think there's going to be anyone here that knows much about such a specific area, but i could be wrong.

third, it sounds like you're having a lot of mental health issues that fall well outside of what we are able to assist you with; i also don't have enough information on your background (historically and medically) to say whether or not you should 'run away' essentially from whatever situation you're in. i would suggest you find resources outside of a travel-oriented website like StP to assist you with sorting out these issues.

@Matt Derrick covered pretty well what I was going to say but I just want to add a few things;

If I can shake them for just a month of living in the bushes where I won't be seen. I would be sending the message that I am no longer ok with them and their bullshit certification.

I dont think this would have the outcome that yer hoping for.

Like @Matt Derrick already said we are not a mental health website and I would take any advice on yer mental health from a stranger on a travel website with a big grain of salt.

It sounds like you may need to talk to yer doctors/support workers.

Welcome to stp.

I'm asking now if anybody has been and can verify that if I go to Saltspring it won't be hard to make connections, get a job maybe, that kind of thing. I don't know how I could possibly gain insight into my mental health on a website like this, that was not my intention. Mental health can be dubious. I just want a normal way of life again, nothing to do with travelling. More just asking whos out there. But yea, running from Mental Health Org makes me giddy with the possibility that I may finally say fuck em all and finally have some time to myself. I take pills all fucking day. it blows. I'll probs keep my phone powered down then

I don't think standing outside in the rain is my idea of fun. I'm going to call it quits. Plus I have a weak judge of character.

So half a hour between "fuck em all" and "its rainy and I'm calling it quits".

I'm gonna lock this thread since it seems pointless to have people replying to it anymore.
