I went to a pdoc once (because of what he said I did not go back.) I was going through my history etc and he asked if the abuse I suffered was easier because I knew my abuser was mentally ill. WTF. You are asking me if when I was a child, it was easier because she was sick?

Another time when I was in the hospital a nurse who I was trying to explain something to (they had been getting on me about not sharing enough and were telling I should talk to the staff more,) told me not to talk about it because then my college might not let me back. I was trying to tell her that I wasn't feeling safe because of my PTSD and she just assumed that I wasn't feeling safe because I wanted to hurt myself. Too bad she didn't listen to me and so I decided not to talk to anyone else about anything. If they were not going to listen, why should I expend my energy talking.
