I agree with you. Yesterday i had suicidal thoughts real bad and that nurse just judged me from head to toe. Real bitch.
Zero compassion. Here in Germany we still have widespread "no-pity" attitude. It sounds like nazi-attitude, but people dont mind to talk this sh*t.
No self pity. I should just live a normal life despite my suicide thoughts. I should work. Bla bla bla. I would like to crack some peoples head in. But that would be evil. I hate the system im in.
They condemn suicide. But suicide is a personal freedom which they take away from you by anouncing that you are mentally ill.
It makes me hate people. The people i have gotten to know through psychiatry are part of the reason why i dont want to live on this planet.

Part of "psychiatric slavery" is that you're either: a) dead eyed and working a low-wage job, living in poverty and drugged on high doses of Haldol (preferably by injection), or you're b) in a mental hospital. Those are your options.
