How my day went…learned the hard way you can’t trust mental health professionals

[DarthVader1512]

Today I had therapy and spilled my guts about how I was feeling last week, how I joined some end of life groups, and downloaded a handbook, stopped eating, etc. she ended up calling the cops on me and they came to my session and told me either I could go voluntarily or my therapist could 96 me. So I let the ambulance take me to the hospital for an evaluation, I may have not been as honest so they cleared me to go home: well, not even 10 minutes after I get home, ready to leave on my road trip, 3 cops pull up to my driveway and tell me they have a court order signed by the judge to 96 me. So they cuff me, put me in the back of their car, and take me to the police station where they keep me handcuffed in a holding cell for 3 hours until they were ready to transport me to the university hospital. So I spent another few hours in the hospital waiting, after being shackled by my wrists and ankles, dragged across the building. I tried to explain to everyone a million times that i had already been released from a hospital but they didn't care. No one during any of that time would inform my fiancé of where I was or what was happening. We're not even sure exactly who did the 96 but I think it was my therapist. I'm extremely pissed. I didn't even tell her I was actively suicidal. I told her I was feeling this way last week.

Sorry, I just needed to vent. Today alone makes me want to just CTB and not ever deal with mental health professionals ever again.

Firstly, virtual hug if you're comfortable with online affection.
Secondly, I've been hearing so much about the horrors of certain aspects of therapy. Is this really something that happens often?

I've talked about CTB with her before and she's never called the police. She said she worried because I took it a step further and was actively self harming.

 

[The anhedonic one]

Oh, no ! That's truly awful what happened to you.
The same thing happened to me a few years ago. Yet my so-called therapist lied about me and said I was actively suicidal and had me sectioned.
You can never tell these therapists the truth about feeling actively suicidal because they will have you commited. They CANNOT be trusted.
It's tragic that we can't be honest with these pro-lifers, they don't care about us whatsoever and only snitch on us for being actively suicidal because they have to cover their own asses.
So sorry you had to go through all of that shitfuckery.

That was what led them to basically traumatise you again? I'm really sorry that happened, and I have an ear to lend if you need it.

That's basically it. She said she could lose her license if I left and did something and her not report me.

This is not only awful this is pure horror! Sorry you had to endure this. *virtual hug* I hope it helps a bit. But yeah that proofes what happens when people are talking freely with their therapists about their true feelings, thoughts and problems. It's just disgusting what these therapists are doing to their patients. It's crime like murdering someone by destroying their lives. They make peronal life situations even worse and are causing more pain and suffering.

Are you in a hospital/psych ward now or did they release you? I really hope you can find peace and you can get over this terrifying experience soon. This is traumatizing.

I personally warn everyone not to speak about ctb thoughts, plans and so with docs/therapists. It's useless it only causes more trouble for oneself.

Go right ahead, anytime.

not sure, 15-20 I guess. you'll be there soon! :-) you can comment in some "fun" threads in Offtopic.

 

[loserr]

Thats hard to hear, some people i guess. :(

The secret to psychiatry is to not mention what you truly feel but soften it up. Also mentioning plans to suicide = trip to the psych ward. Am sorry about what happened to you.

Yes indeed you have to say what the psychiatrist / therapist wants to hear from you .... but actually that doesn't solve the problem someone has. That's why in most cases therapy and such stuff is useless unfortunately.

 

[MrDarkness]

I'm sorry you had to go through that, not all therapists are bad, I told my therapist I'm fine with suicide and death is normal, I can't see myself being 30 and he said he understood, I told him that I could off myself tomorrow a month from now or a year, and simple took it as my choice. This was great besides my mother almost calling the cops to put me into a psych ward

 

[Goodgirlryeo101]

Why would you tell your therapist or any mental health professional that you want to end your life??!

If you say to them yeah I'm planning on ending my life they might do that and even if you did you could easily say to them oh I don't have those thoughts anymore as it was just a momentary thought. I don't trust anybody and if I say anything about anything it would be something that I would have thought about before speaking.

Even Callie Lewis had that happened to her and then they took her but released her later when she lied to them and told them she was feeling better and then a few days later she killed herself. No one out there can make anyone change their mind if they really want to kill themselves. Callie tried 6 times until the 7th time when she was successful.

The police are useless anyway from majority of these crime documentaries these poor women would try and try and try to contact them and ask them for help but nothing and also I saw this documentary of this girl dealing with a stalker for 8 years mind you 8 years and she even had given evidence to the police so no they are just useless because maybe they should go and catch criminals like stalkers, harassers instead of someone who is choosing to end their own life.

 

[FuneralCry]

That sounds like such a horrible experience, sadly we exist in a world where suicidal people are treat like criminals so I would personally never see it as being a good idea opening up about wanting to die, I think it could very likely just make existing here even worse.

 

[letmegetout]

I'm so sorry this has happened to you. My mental health team are fucking me over atm too. I hope things get better for you

 

[blitz]

I'm so sorry you went through this.

 

[suicidalloser]

I'm so sorry this occurred to you. it makes me weep knowing this happened in 2016 myself. the fact that they treat us in such a way is painfully cruel.
their presence alone makes things worse. i stopped trusting them long ago after my long fight trying to heal as they all tell me to fervently.
all faux.

Oh, no ! That's truly awful what happened to you.

my last therapist, just accepted my chronic suicidal nature
