Anyway sorry if I've been overbearing with my words today I'm just worked up because of my pdoc visit yesterday....there is just this insecurity when a single person can determine your freedom so it is just as much me reminding myself of the unwritten rules and to be very careful with the docs. There is no way to win but to get better and get out. The whole system is set to work against people who do not respond to the meds. I was incredibly lucky that the meds worked for me at all...I'm sorry your treatment team is awful and agree it is worth a shot to try and change docs if you can.

yea and i am still an activist. but its hard to work when your chemically restrained.
its ok.
people think im delusional and even the therapist did when i said i was an activist. hah that hurt. but whatever. i consider myself a social and political activist.
anyway
my choices are extremely slim when changing docs because of my financial situation and where i live and medicare and all that. the whole community mental health thing isnt working for me because they dont care. and it just might be the only choice i have right now. but its not a good one. the reason i say only choice is because their whole system of the pdoc and nurse and therapist being all in one building is fantastic but their choice of care or "system of care" is just crap. and i see it with other people who come in there complaining.
im at a loss of words
and idk what to do as of right now
and i know everyone here doesnt know what to do to help me and thats understandable because its the internet.
but idk.
