First of all I want to report that I have figured some things out and am learning a lot that will help not just me. So I wanted to start another thread about the things I've figured out.

But to finish up here, thanks for saying what you've been saying, optimize. I was naive, just trusting them. I was in a way "set up." All of those "special" and "urgent" meetings that I had to go to were all about the institution doing what was its own interest, not about my being able to continue to be in that school. Now I know that I will never be that naive again. When the whole thing started after the email was reported, I should have gone in to the administration myself and explained what happened so that by the time the student came to the administration, which was a whole month afterwards, my truth was in their hands already. If anything ever happens to me again that involves a tricky situation, I'm going to make sure that people here from me right away.

Open Eyes, yes you are right about everything. I do think that many therapists struggle with things so it wasn't necessarily that I had PTSD that made them act this way, but I do think that they used the PTSD to put the email in the context of "mental instability" rather than medication. And because they have reacted to me so strangely, that seems the only likely thing that could be behind it.

I want to start a new thread about healing lessons I've learned that might help others.
