I am still doing damage control on those long 5 days where I rehashed my trauma and afflictions to about 15 different people. I had 2 blood tests when I left and I'm in menopause. Google research it is a new tool as I've been sick since before the internet. When I was young I suffered from many mental illnesses that didn't even have a name. PTSD in children was not recognized in children until 1980! In the 1990's and before I believe there was no symptom recognized as self injury of harm. I don't think anorexia was even known until Karen Carpenter was on the cover of Time. It sucks to get all the labels because it feels like a cancer that has spread and more medications to take. It is nice to know I'm not alone. |
That's the problem right there. Most of the time everyone with the same disorder/symptoms are classed as being the same. So even though it's known that different people experience the same disorder differently, they're
still treated the same way just because they have ____ and people with ____
usually are ____, ____, and ____. I'm not saying this happens to
everyone. But it
does happen. Things are said to make it seem like you don't know yourself and you're totally incapable of having any reasonable thought at all...including having any sense to know yourself or to have instinct/a 'gut feeling'. It's happened to me and I've seen it happen to other people. I know to call it for what it is. I will let you know, I'm really sorry for what you went/are going through.
I hope you can find a
good new one and that you're relieved soon.
