I'm a 27 year old female from the west coast, deeply troubled by my own personal pschological inflictions which has inspired a personal interest in psychology. I general have a fresh insight on most things and because I've done almost everything wrong once, I have a lot of personal experience with a lot of crap.

I was in a mental institution and I got really close to one of the staff members that worked there, she helped me in every way possible and I thought of her as my mom. Since I have been out it seems like everytime I call the hospital to talk to her, they make an excuse for me to NOT talk to her. Last night my sister looked her up on the internet and come to find out, she lives a mile away from me, and I have her home phone number, I mailed her a christmas card this morning to her home, but I dont know if I should actually call her at home. I miss her so much and she made such a big impact in my life, what do I do? I don't want her to think that I am like stalking her or anything! ??????? (link)

I'm sorry, but someone before said it really well, do not call her. It technically is unethical for her to have a relationship with you beyond the hospital boundaries. You put her job at risk. They are also very busy in Mental Hospitals, she may have seemed like she had time for you when you were in there, but that is because that is what her time was for. Now she has to spend that time with the people that are patients now. As said before, write her a letter, and mail it to the hospital, its inappropriate to contact her at her home. You have to remember she's dealing with people that are mentally ILL. Its an invasion of her privacy to be contacted at her home. Its honorable that you found someone in the health profession that was so helpful in your life, but you may have to come to terms with the fact that it was a short term relationship. I'm sorry.
