My sentiments exactly,
I also went to psyche wards in the past (Thinking I had Lost it). And I really saw some distrubing things. But I also saw and talked to some really confused, depressed, and fed up people usually in despair over situations they have had not control over in their llves. Such as haealth and finacial problems. Loss of a loved one or a spouse, etc.
These people ranged from nurses, professionals, lawyers you name it.
I graduated college with several degrees and considered my self a pretty stable person. But it is when you lose that sense of control that you think you are going crazy.
I have had many mental health professionals tell me that as long as you are questioning your sanity, worrying about, and know what you are doing and feeling is wrong. Then you are not crazy by no means.
And as going on six years with my condition as most people will come to realize. Medication is not a magic pill that will change you and make everything better. It is like any other medication it just helps manage the symtoms.
Just my two cents,
BRC
