Yup I agree. We’re almost to the point where we could go to a vending machine tick off a few boxes and a bottle of pills pops out.

Every 15 minutes..

I don’t know how often “patients” die, (by “active” or “passive” su..) partly because of the under funded (etc) “help” that is available to them

I made a post a while back about slot machine therapy . It really does feel like that, too much of the time over here.

One “therapist” said I’d had anxiety for “too long”.

Another said to someone else they are “too advanced”...

Another therapist said I had “too many defences”

So it’s every 3 months for 15 minutes

But I don’t even get that since I fired the shrink and now I’m allergic to the meds

every 15 minutes
I get 5-7 minutes and hurried out the door.

The mental health system is a joke. It's disgusting. My therapist has been trying for months to get me a 30 minute appointment which she would accompany me too. Still waiting. I need help. I want help. I am being pushed aside.
My last med doc left the office. No one told me.

It makes me wanna throw my hands in the air and say f- it. I keep trying for my kids.

End rant.....

I’m really really tired of it,

I don’t have kids.



Why should I live for others when I can’t even tolerate the meds,

And I’ve been slandered for being selfish and disrespectful by people with an inability to see those characteristics in themselves,

It’s a crime, giving 5 minutes and trying to force people to exist in anguish.

THEY SUCK

So what can we do abou the 15 min interval?
It wasn’t always like this
Who decides, the ins companies?
DBSA is having a big mtg in DC. Go to their site. They want input.
If we all wrote something it may move things forward.! Can’t hurt.

People do not want to hear other people’s truth

People want to silence us and impose their “reality” on us... which is not reality at all

My inner snake wants me to delete...

I think she is a sensible snake

(Not about anyone here....)

I agree. People do want to silence us. They use all sorts of tricks to try to silence us.

But I don’t want you to delete.

Good post Thirty shades

It’s hard for our inner snakes to be kind to us....

This world often doesn’t feel kind...
