Oh, my dear, I am so sorry this was done to you. There's nothing more I can say, except to echo Antigua: hold on. Just a little longer, hold on. You can do it.
(Later, when you talk to your attorney about this part, this may actually be actionable. Please don't feel that this was in any way appropriate, nor that you caused it in any way, nor that you deserve it in any way, nor that there's anything wrong about your reaction. What you described is torture, even if the other side has legal right to put you through a psych eval.)
(By the way, I had a psych eval years back, too -- and it was nothing whatsoever like what you've described here.)
This really was torture that you were subjected to. It really and truly is wrong. It doesn't sound as if you doubt that, which shows an enormous amount of strength and resiliance. I truly hope that those valuable qualities will help you hold on until it gets better. And I hope that better part happens very soon. You already know that you can always find support here, and you have an attorney to help you with the rest of it, and a pdoc to help, too. Please use all your available resources?
And Shadows? Is there anything you can think of that any of us can offer to help you get through this? Would it help to hear other horror stories? Funny horror stories? Theories about what's wrong with the system to allow this to happen? Jokes? Interesting facts we've come across along the way that might distract you? Anything at all that anyone here can provide for you? You know that someone here can do almost anything you can ask for -- and WILL, for you. (A hit on the monster who did this is probably out of the question, of course. Although, personally, I'm so outraged that -- never mind.)
Hold on. Try to be well comforted, whatever that looks like to you.
