Please Help in my Hospitalization Relief #BLM

Hello. My name is Bountouraby Sylla and I currently attend Pace University in NYC. Recently, I was involved in a really bad rape assault that left me to be hospitalized for about 5 weeks for a mental evaluation. I am currently experiencing a lot of trauma and have even been diagnosed with PTSD from my psychotherapist. They currently have me on medication and recommend that I take time off from doing a lot of things I’m normally used to in efforts to allow me to recover. Because this rape was so traumatizing, I prefer to not expose details about it for my own healing purposes. Unfortunately, while I was in the hospital ( from Sept 6th - Oct 7th) , I was also enrolled as a senior in college and was on scholarship to pay for my apartment in Brooklyn. While I was being hospitalized by my medical and psychological team, I initially wished to not receive additional care because I was scared I would lose my fall enrollment but the team did not budge and even gave me pills I shouldn’t have been taking in the first place. When placed in the psych ward, I was still given those pills that messed up my mood and it caused me to be agitated towards staff. I was put in a solidarity bed with no mobile furniture or art hung up. I felt like a prisoner while I was there and wanted to get out so bad. This is my first time in my life ever labeled “psychologically unfit for society” and I blame no one but my rapist. Thank god he is in jail right now! By the time I was deemed okay to leave the hospital and allowed to go recover at a Respite Care Center in Brooklyn, I had lost the opportunity to both renew my old lease and find a new roommate to live with. Ultimately , I was left with just 21 days to recover at my Respite Care Center. As stated earlier, I’ve been diagnosed with a mental disorder called PTSD and it was recommended that I do not work. I’m so used to working to pay my bills and I’ve been doing so since I was 19 and it’s been really hard to get back on my feet. I’m flooded with personal problems from my parents and they are not giving me the right space to simply heal. To be honest, they are very traditional and I feel like they do not take my PTSD and pain as seriously as they should and that breaks my heart. I’m going through a really hard time in my life right now, both physically and mentally and I just ask for immediate relief from my community. I hope to reach my goal as soon as possible so that I can get my own space again and do what I love … create. I’m struggling to stay afloat and I have no savings at all. Honest to god, I would have never expected something so traumatizing like this to even happen to me EVER so your donation will help a lot in saving for rent, buying food and transportation costs. I really appreciate you for taking the time to read my story and I please ask you to share it with your community. Thank you.
