Fuck me, right

[Intelligent_Panic99]

I posted on Recovery about throwing out my N and I am so glad I didn't go through with it. For a minute I thought my life might actually have purpose or be worth something.

Also, I got a new therapist and so far she's told me bipolar 2 is "sweet" and only bipolar 1 messes up your life. I am diagnosed with 2 and it has definitely fucked up my life. Also shamed me for an occasional glass of wine. So that's going great…

I promised myself I would try as hard as I could to be good at life until the day I decided I would drink the N including therapy and staying on my meds.

But with this lady? I feel like she'll probably push my over the edge faster.

Therapists don't know much about mental illness AND how dare she comment if she doesn't know. I don't have it, but I'm sure no mental illness is 'sweet'

Stay strong. These people are fools.

What is the purpose of your life? What is it worth? I do have something that keeps me hanging in here, but I am currently homeless so it is hard to stay focussed on it. But trying not to be homeless. But purpose I can do....

Know the struggle of being homeless. Cheers for hanging in there

I want to start a homelessness rant but don't know which thread. Thank you...

It's fun because the doctors who -should help- don't help at all.

Fuck her if you feel that way. Turn that hatred outside. Some people are stupid. Don't get fooled by titles.

Mental health is dealt with so flippantly these days. It's not just studied professionals of all things mental/psychological. Anyone along the health chain seems able to prescribe or influence the prescribing of psych meds and diagnosis. I experience this myself. If there's a disconnect, a misunderstanding it's easy for the person on providing even the simplest of treatment to say and document that you're displaying anxiety when you're judt displaying a very natural frustration at being misunderstood and more importantly an unwillingness to address that. They write it down and now it's 'fact' as far as your medical history. This then permiates up the chain and before you know it you're being told you're depressed and anxious and need meds to handle it when you've actually got nothing wrong with you aside from the very natural human condition. Displaying genuine humanity is not safe in the medical system so if its like that for those of us that are lucky enough not to suffer from mental health issues it must be a nightmare for those that do. It's just too easy for another person to play the lottery with your mind and wellbeing in favour of making their working day a little easier or whatever their respective reasons for carelessness are. It's just too fucking easy and it will one day be looked back on as terrible but much like like those that were locked in colonies and asylums in the past it will be a passing thought expressed far too late for some. And bringing the subject up now will get you labelled a complainer and have you sucked into the system before you can take a breath.

I was homeless from September through December. It was awful. I had to stay at the rescue mission. Are you currently in a homeless shelter? I feel for you. It's not easy living life. Even having a place to live is hard to get, and hard to maintain. It baffles me how many people pass me by and don't seem to have a worry in the world. I just walk with my head down a lot.

I got schizoaffective disorder. I got symptoms of bipolar disorder. I find these mental health people to be incompetent. I'm not saying good one's aren't out there it's just that I haven't met one since my diagnosis. I'm in no position to know your situation but I think there will be people out there that will help you with trying to live good. I have hope.

Therapist are useless for me mine told me once "idk if you're depressed or not "

 

[FuneralCry]

I'm sorry that you have to deal with a therapist like that. It seems that in this life some people just make everything worse. I think that people who have not been in a similar situation themselves will be unable to understand what it is like, but that therapist certainly does sound insensitive. I wish you relief from suffering.

I have BD2 as well. Nothing sweet about being depressed most of the year, every year, with little relief. That therapist sounds dumb and if you can, you should find someone else. My last therapist didn't even know the difference between 1 and 2 so I dropped her.

 

[GentleJerk]

Sounds like she got her degree from a cereal box. I hope she's not getting paid a lot to be that clueless. But who am I kidding, of course she is.

 

[WorthlessTrash]

Therapy is hit or miss and imo therapy is just there for them to gaslight you. Pretty sure anything they can recommend, you could already find out for free.

Some therapists will be like "How can we resolve this?" Or some variation of it, as if you're suppose to do their job for them.

 

[Zegers]

Many therapists search on google about what can happen to you, which is quite pathetic, I'm not saying there aren't good doctors but it's hard to find them. I wish I didn't need to go to the doctors, it's like a pain in the ass.

Yeah getting paid way too much
