Ladies and or gentlemen, HOLD your heads up high!
I am blessed with a husband who has a great job and the best insurance anyone could dream of! Yet a decade of specialists who refused to `listen to me` and the abuse i recieved is criminal which are the very reason i have PTSD! Hows that for good PR! The stories i could tell would still shock some of you. If my hubby had not been with me at these appts i still would be wondering if that Really happened??? I almost lost my mind much less the inability to go to a Dr. When my hubby finally found a Real and i do mean real Dr i could not even go for the first app. See when it gets that bad i pass out.
This dr has a decade if issue's to deal with and he vigilantly goes at it.
When my hubby finally got me to him, he said "when i saw your timeline...." THAT was what made so much sense and was So easy to say this is what is wrong! I balled like a baby! He constantly reassures me and has listened to my gut instincts and now rely s also on that.
He does NOT work under any hospital or clinic, so he can practice with results. People get well! He is not only a psy but specialized in other fields. Expensive yes... worth it ... a million times over! We pay him and then file with our insurance. We are fortunate they pay 80percent back to us. But we said we would sell the house and live in a tent in thats what it took.
I walked into each office yet more ashamed and feeling so worthless i did not deserve to be well. But my stuborn and rebel spirit told me i was not crazy but these idiots were. Before the trauma was so bad, i spent 3 yrs researching. oh, but they did not like that. I've been called a liar, we won't treat you, i can't finish on this part-
I could read these people as soon as they opened the door to walk in to see me if i wasted yet more time and to say nothing or test the water. I could do what these specialist did.
My point is this.... These people have the problem, they may be forced to have rediculous overbooking, etc etc...but they took an oath! I am more than ticked off.
I emailed my dr the other day i was so angry wanting to confront these drs face to face, show them my diagnosis's and say WHO WAS RIGHT! And in 5 states. I believe in accountability.
But--- where did we forget WE pay for a service and i don't care if its just the person waiting on us at the pantry. I'm tired of feeling shame and backing away from what someone is paying for if its ssi or whatever.
50 percent of welfare is fraud. Don't you dare feel shame for getting help if you can!
Turn that into something that works for you. I've been looking for an outlet for yrs for this.
And i have an idea where to start. And who sits in that office and took and Oath to do no harm??? I don't recall any instances that does not apply to.
And do i speak out when i should not? PTSD is h*** !
Stigma? No More Stigma!
Contact me if you want. I do have an idea of a positive way to keep you all from such trauma,heal and get your dignity back.
Now back to my challenge- i'm cooking something with yellow-squash.
with love~

btw...i only write by my own life experiences....and it was more important to get my thoughts down than spell check.
