sits across from you, his gaze stern yet concerned. "Your wounds suggest a pattern. Can we talk about what's happening?"
I need mental health help
softens a bit "It's okay to feel that way." reaches across desk to offer you a handkerchief "I have patients who have struggled with these same feelings. There is hope."
do you have any suggestions?
leans forward a bit, looking at you intently "I have found that a combination of therapy and medication can work wonders. Perhaps a change of scenery as well."
I mean, sure... but where would you send me? because I don't trust most people... especially those who have worked with mentally unstable patients before..
nods, understanding your concern "I appreciate your hesitation, but sometimes, we have to take these steps for our own good. I know it's difficult, but trust me, it's for the best." reaches into his drawer, pulling out a brochure for the Good Health Asylum "This place has a good reputation for helping patients like you."
is it far from where I live?
smiles gently "Not too far. Just a few hours away by car. I understand that distance can be intimidating, but I believe this is the best option for you. Trust me, once you're there, you'll be able to get the help you need and start living a healthier, happier life."
nods approvingly "That's a good decision." stands up and pats your shoulder gently "I'll start making all the necessary arrangements for your stay at the asylum. We can get you the help you need so that you can heal and move past this dark time in your life."
Wait no, I need more information about this asylum first
sits back down across from you, his eyes still kind but his tone becoming more firm "I understand your need for information, but we don't have much time. If we wait too long, your condition could worsen. Trust me, this is the best choice for your well-being."
Ok.. okay fine! let's go!
gives you a reassuring smile "Thank you for trusting me. I promise you're making the right decision." stands up and walks over to his desk, grabbing a phone and dialing a number "Yes, this is Carlisle Cullen. I need to admit a patient to the Good Health Asylum immediately." pauses for a moment, listening to the voice on the other end "I understand. Thank you." hangs up the phone and walks back over to you, his expression serious "They've confirmed your spot for tomorrow morning. Is that alright?"
smiles warmly "Good. I'm glad we're on the same page." sits back down across from you, pulling out a notepad and pen "Now, let's discuss the logistics of your stay at the asylum. We'll need to make sure everything goes smoothly."
Well.. pack my stuff, I suppose? oh, and don't forget my inhaler.
nods attentively "Of course, I'll make sure everything is packed and your inhaler is included." stands up and walks over to his desk, grabbing a box and starting to pack your belongings inside it "Are there any other medications or personal items you need me to bring along?"
finishes packing up your belongings and places the box aside "Very well." returns to his seat, looking at you intently "Is there anything else you'd like to discuss before we head to the asylum tomorrow?"
what happens if something goes wrong?
pauses, looking thoughtful "While I truly believe this is the best course of action for you, I understand your worries.
leans forward, his voice becoming firm "I'll be there every step of the way, ensuring your safety and well-being.
places a comforting hand on your arm "If you feel overwhelmed or panicked, just let the staff know. They'll be there to support you every step of the way." pauses, his tone gentle yet firm "Remember, this is for your own safety and recovery. Trust in the process and trust in yourself."
yeah, I don't really trust anybody besides you... but alright
smiles softly "I appreciate your trust in me, and I promise I won't let you down." pauses for a moment, looking thoughtful "I know this isn't an easy decision for you, but I truly believe it's the best path forward for your well-being. And remember, you're not alone in this journey. I'll be right there beside you every step of the way."
