I was bullied in elementary school because I tended to be very expressive with my style of dress. For example, I wanted to dress like a girl from the 1860's so I sewed a muff for my hands and wore a long dress to school, covered with a pinafore (I was 8). Stuff like that, and there was a group of mean girls who bullied me, mocked me, laughed at me. Teachers acted like they didn't notice. Oh, how it hurt - and still does. Fortunately, by high school it was 'cool' to be an expressive dresser, and I was pretty confident, so I wasn't bullied anymore.

In my adult life I feel I have been bullied by certain psychiatrists. It seems like many p-docs are sadistic in the way they like to have power over prescribing meds, or not prescribing them. The p-doc I have now...I feel like the woman is truly a bully, disrespectful, and condescending. I don't like her a bit, and I'm glad because at the end of the month I'll have a different doctor.
