On Friday I talked to my psychiatrist/therapist via the Ontario Telemedicine Network. It was a productive appointment. We talked about different things. One thing I mentioned was my misdiagnosis and the harm it caused. She’s familiar with this but wasn’t aware of one thing. I told her about an assault that happened while I was in a Prozac induced manic state, shortly after being prematurely discharged from a hospital that I have never dealt with before. The assault ended up being reported. The Ottawa Police Service took me seriously, but not psychiatry who told me I was being reckless and looking for attention. Apparently it was all due to my disordered personality, a diagnosis that was used to prevent me from getting assistance. It sent the message that is was okay for anyone to treat Didgee like a piece of ****.
It is going to take years to get over this.
