confessions of little turtle

Yes, I too am having a very awful time.

can you say more terish

I was just very nonconforming,rebellious,mouthy.There were times I put myself and my siblings in danger because I couldn't keep my mouth shut.

That might not have made sense without the story that goes along with it but it's just too graphic for this place to tell it.

I was a "horrible" little girl, the bullies didn't like me.

Momma didn't like me either

And Daddy left

I spose that was my fault as well

I understand those kinds of stories, I have some of my own.

what stories would you tell us....

I cant believe what life hit me with...
I wish I knew more about the cause of
some of our suffering...I am tired of some
simplebutt explanations....

hey I just thought ...this could be a confession thread for EVERYONE....not just me

I don't like some of the simple butt explanations either, some of them make me very grrrr
(I won't post some I've been told over here in the uk grrrr)

How's the water today in the river?

sorry little turtle, I didn't mean to but in.

brazen a---------please say what you want here....I really was meaning that this could be a confession site for all of us...

I wonder what it is like to be happy....
maybe I just focus on the bad...
but I look around and I see all the problems...all the suffering...
I think it could be better in psychiatry if we just took some time..
why do we have to go so fast....

I think we may be slaves to the psychiatric health system...
we are having a hard time standing up to its abuses...
we even believe its BS...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I have been hurt very badly by the psychiatric system..
the system tore me down when I tried to be human with my patients...
they didn't like it...I did know 2 very helpful therapists but the system sucked..

I know fuzzy and her grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Grrrrrrrrr.. I think you may be right little turtle - re first paragraph grrrrrr

I'm sorry the system tore you down and hurt you


When you tried to be human with your patients this is what I've found... some of them behave as if they are not quite human (irl)

I did know one or two sort of helpful therapists..but yeah the system sucks

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I experienced a month of HELL in a hospital but Im not sure if it was my condition or the enviroment. Other patients were lots more lively then me.

Also my first two therapists were not right for me, to say at least. And therefore Im scared to loose the one I have now.

we are in the mental illness club together...we need to find and keep the good people...some of the good doctors kill themselves...I almost did...and I was one of the good guys...I knew what depression is all about...it is being in a black hell hole...

gggggggggggggggggggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr--hello to all those
mad as hell persons

Laugh my furry butt off ggggggggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

little turtle,have you ever considered writing a book about your experiences in the psychiatric system?You could always do it anonymously if you didn't feel comfortable being identified.

terish----thanks so much...I want to do this...but I cant express myself or write well...I would need a coauthor....actually I would rather be interviewed by a journalist....I want to let it all hang out...I don't have much time left to tell it all from both sides of the street [psychiatrist and patient]....

Then DO it.Not only would it be helpful to others I think it might be healing for you.

terish---I would need help...I am old now and my energy is going down..
thanks for your ideas

Posting on here is very helpful to so many ((((( little turtle )))))
