-zh, I could have written your post. People on the outside seem to think that time passes and we are magically ok. It get's too intense for them so they back off. This is my PTSD place where I get scared and need reassurance and get blame instead. What a rotten place to be. So there is a trigger and I react and I am trying to figure it out so I can feel safe and the medical profession dumbs on me.

I have noticed too that when I take charge and report the poor behavior of others in the medical field, or their incompetence, That my own providers get ticklish and start treating me like an enemy. So how are we supposed to heal from the massive/major abuse of power by those who were supposed to care for us when it repeats it'self?

this repetition isn't always but often enough that the trigger remains. not thinking terribly well as today and tomorrow there is a lot on our plate to contend with.

we too have noticed that often the health field gets prickly when being reported......this is something that is a drag but we'd rather endure their beastly attitudes and huffiness at being reported than keep our mouth shut and play meek and docile patient. No freaking way! When abuse is obvious then we're not going to stand idly by watching and doing nothing........that was the past and too much of our lives.........we're no longer stuck in that role or those years.

now we can speak up, write, call, etc to make our voices heard.........it still isn't easy to follow through when injustice is so blazingly apparent but we do our best to stay true to who we are........someone who will no longer tolerate two standards in the mental health field.
