This thread really gets people talking...I do hope that the mental health system brings more good than bad...right, guys? But I did want to get this off my chest..

I went to a group called ventures..my parents made me I was nineteen and had had a 2 month long hospitalization..I found the group demeaning and unstimulating...I looked for a job, and found the perfect one for me. a babysitting job, which conflicted with the hours of this IPRT program..told them I found more fulfilling thing to do during the afternoon...they arranged a huge meeting...no one had ever left their program before it was a new program at the time..a leader by the name of Donna said you will attempt this job and YOU WILL FAIL & COME RUNNING BACK TO US!!! this hurt. i thought, i must give off the impression..that i cannot handle things...i went on to succeed with this family i babysat for many years and am still friends with the kids now that they're older..
