Hey. I read over your story, and my heart goes out to you. "Mental patients" are mistreated by so many people, including those "professionals" who are paid to treat us.
I was put on high dose stimulants, had a manic episode, and was put into a detox facility where I was blamed for everything. My dose was too high because I was "narcissistic" and "manipulative." After I left and stopped going to psychiatrists, the shrink who treated me broke confidentiality and told people in my small town about my "issues" (his version of it all, anyway).
I was burned out and prematurely aged and severely mentally ill (I have Bipolar I w/ psychotic features, but I was so pissed off at the medical establishment that I refused to get help). Fast forward a couple years: one of my ex-shrinks is being investigated by the state medical board, subpoenas have been issued for my records from the doctors who used to talk about me, and I'm healthier than ever, living in a new town. I see a reasonable doctor and a good therapist.THERE IS HOPE!!! Terrible as you may feel now, things will get better.
