Frustrating? Did you see my mood?

It has been 7 years and no court date right now. I had an attorney that was battling dementia and he didn't handle my case well at all. He was so well known that I could not find another attorney so I could get rid of him. He kept telling me all we were waiting for was a court date yet he had never closed the pleadings and my case was almost thrown out. I never got to finish being deposed by the opposing side because he kept failing to
remember and never told me about any of the ones the opposing side scheduled with him. I felt that he could use my medical records against me saying "I" was the crazy one
to cover up the fact that "he" was failing. He wanted to "deny" he was failing mentally and try to keep practicing. He was the "good ole boy" no one wanted to do or say anything about how he was failing either.

Oh, I have been walking around in "hell" for several years now.

The therapist I have now, I didn't find until 2011. He explained to me that the psychiatrist in the psych ward who is from "India" is not culturally sensitive and misdiagnosed me and he has done that with other patients too. But I am not going to get that in writing unless I spend time and big bucks with yet another psychiatrist who "will" do that so my records reflect the correct diagnoses.

Doctors, "any doctor" now do not want to deal with "another doctor's mistakes". It's really bad that way now. Insurance companies and professionals will jump through hoops to avoid any kind of possible lawsuit or use any language that admits a mistake was made.

It has been explained to me how I was misunderstood when I presented to that psych ward and that an effort was being made to train the staff in these places the "red flags" to identifying a trauma patient as often that is missed leading the trauma patient to be traumatized on top of already suffering from trauma.

So I have learned a lot about how people are "misdiagnosed" when they have PTSD because of the symptoms PTSD has that can look like "other" disorders.
