I will absolutely never go near a medication again in my life. I was lied to about the efficacy of psychiatric drugs, labelled a completely unfounded and unscientific diagnosis that obliterated my life, then assaulted and forcibly drugged when I refused to drug myself. What those "doctors" did to me is the main reason I'm in therapy.

I have taken breaks from therapy, but it doesn't go well. I'm better when I've got someone around, and therapy seems to be the way to do that. I live on my own in a foreign country, so highly supportive people are pretty hard to come by.

I'm not really sure what other radical kinds of therapy are out there. I'm looking into bodywork, but honestly it's very difficult to find a therapist that doesn't require access to medical records (which I won't allow) and who will agree not to report me to psychiatrists in the event that they assume I will harm myself. (Not that it matters, but I can accept a duty to report a threat of harm to others--just not to myself.)
