So I'm newly involved in intense out patient therapy. Upon agreeing to doing this, I was under the impression that I would be going 3x per week for 3hrs. First day I'm told I need more help and need to go full time Monday through Friday from 8 am to 2:30 pm....first slap in the face! Then I'm told instead of being in the mood only program I'm in the dual program; mood and addiction! Last time I checked addiction meant you're dependant upon alcohol &/or drugs. That you need alcohol &/or drugs in order to function. I didn't think you became an addict by taking benzo's in order to end one's life! I DON'T take benzo's because I'm addicted to them are want to! In fact the reason I had so many to begin with is because I DON'T like having to take them, it makes me feel weak! So why in the hell did they give me a dual diagnosis?! Don't I already have enough mental issues with having bipolar II, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD?!! Did they think it would be fun to add yet another mental issue?!!! Seriously?! Another slap in the face!!! Only 2 days of this outpatient therapy and I feel worse about myself now than before I started! Tell me, how is this supposed to be helping me?!!! Thoughts?
