I'm wondering how many people out there may have similar things that have happened to them or if I'm alone.

I have the ordinary level of bad treatment and betrayals due to people reacting to my diagnosis, but I'm thinking of all the times when serious injustices occurred.

Many of these happened either at the hands of police or in the hospital. Once I was put in 5 point restraints because I pounded my fist in frustration when repeated denied medical treatment for a severe case of pneumonia. I couldn't breathe and was feeling like I was going to die. They let me soil myself because they wouldn't let me get up and then on the way to seclusion I asked to clean up and they led me to a bathroom with only cold water. When I asked for a towel and warm water, they just scoffed and threw me into seclusion where I sat in my own stuff for a day and night.

After I got out I insisted on an X-ray. They tied me to a gurney in full restraints and I was yelling to turn me over so I could breathe. A big guy over 300 pounds put his hands on my ribs and used his body weight I guess to get me to shut up. I lost consciousness. Then I really was scared and started screaming about what he had done so he took a blanket and covered my whole head again to shut me up. Again I lost consciousness. I could have died.

Another time on a welfare check where I was actually okay a cop handcuffed me too tightly and then used a choke strap to strangle me twice. Both times I lost consciousness except I heard his sadist laugh. Then he proceeded to kick me down the stairs. I could have fallen and broken my neck. I was terrified.

I could go on. There are many more examples. People seem to think they can get away with stuff like this just because you have a diagnosis so no one will believe what you say about what actually happened.
