There's nothing like a fast car and an open road.

Had my full psychiatric assessment just now. Went as expected, no other treatments available to me outside of treating marginal symptoms of PTSD with higher than normal doses of antidepressants (even though i was not diagnosed as depression).

I've long known the system would fail me, but i feel bad for others who walk in looking for real help and leave with nothing of the sort. Psychiatry is really regressive and stuck in the past.

No shit! They just forced @Squiddy back into the hospital for " passive suicidal" thoughts! She's being forcibly locked up because she's not thinking what they consider the correct thoughts! It's triggered me and brought back all the trauma and horror that I went through when I was a teenager stuck in the system and being hospitalized at the whim of doctors for no other reason then because they needed a payment for their new boat or someone to test their latest drug on!

If nothing else, it's definitely snapped me out of my doubts. I WILL get out of this world and I will never ever be put in one of those horrific places ever again and forced to take drugs make me feel like shit but don't do anything to help me. If I have to drink a whole gallon of SN, I won't stop until I'm dead.

Fuck the whole medical system, and psychiatry in particular! You go to them for help and instead they lock you up because you're not thinking what they want you to think! Nearly 40 years later and they're still doing the same thing to people that they did to me, and nobody's doing a damn thing about it. Nobody cares ;-; :angry:

By the way, I'm sorry they didn't help you, though I'm not surprised at all. I'm actually shocked when I found out they actually have helped somebody.

Wtf, seriously? Is she ok?

Yeah, i don't feel i have anything worth adding about my own experience but i agree with you about psychiatry. Super fucked up.

I get better treatment from social workers, therapists, consistently.

By the way, I'm sorry they didn't help you, though I'm not surprised at all. I'm actually shocked when I found out they actually have helped somebody.

It's ok, i was mostly doing this for others. Thank you though.

I really wish work got done at like 4pm... or even 3pm. Like 90% of the workers are just on facebook/phones at this time, none are working, there's no reason to be here. They're being paid to play on facebook. I mean it'd make more sense to pay them more, but just let them go home with a shorter work week. like a 4 day work week. or even 3 day.

Because you said other treatment weren't working. What other symptoms do you have that the marijuana doesn't treat. Pills never worked for my PTSD. Marijuana does.

That's one of my work pet peeves. Everyone on Facebook or the internet after a certain time in the afternoon. I would have loved four ten-hour days. But the boss was no better. She'd share photos and memes on Facebook and walk around getting people's response to them.

As for a 3-day workweek, let me know if you find one!

same! Pills never did anything but cannabis helped a LOT.

My PTSD is a lot better since i did EMDR and another breath-work/yoga focused treatment program. I wasn't really looking for help with it in particular, just my GP wanted an assessment.

If you want to laugh, go look at the one that just says "A thread".

The person wrote"A thread. I need it"

And sinister kid wrote back " Care to expand before I delete it". :pfff:
I just love him! He's so funny!

I get reminders by text message. When my phone beeps, it's either my shrink, my family, or spam.

Phone is about to die, but I'm being released. My mom is pissed though and thinks I'm playing games with the hospital and stated that she's afraid of me thinking I'm gonna murder someone in the family and then kill myself which is completely ridiculous.

YAY but, why playing games? I mean, it's not like you had a choice in that....and that's one massive leap

I'm glad you're being released. The reason for commitment was not legitimate. As for your mother, perhaps she needs some rest.
