Wow, that was quite the ordeal. It doesn’t surprise me because they treated me like that 25 years ago. Reading about the medical profession (who are supposed to help) dismiss and invalidate you is frustrating. This definitely isn’t the right way to get people to stop SI. You are certainly not a “cutter”. I see you as someone who is hurting and doesn’t have effective coping skills to replace SI at the moment. Please don’t let the harsh and opinionated medical staff get to you. They don’t know you. All they know is their ignorance. The emergency department is the worst place to go for SI unless it is severe. Staff there, tend to be judgemental and dismissive. Have you thought about setting up a plan for situations like yesterday so you can get decent and validating medical care? Maybe a meeting with all your providers to set up a plan? I’m surprised your psychiatrist won’t deal with the SI. There’s help for people who struggle with it. Hopefully my reply wasn’t too harsh. I had to be honest, since I was once in your place. When I was a teen I experimented with SI, something I learned while in hospital. It was isolating. Most staff tended to be nasty when they learned of it. They usually misinterpreted the behavior. -- I also want to protect you from healthcare harm. Be careful with emergency and urgent care around this issue. __________________ Dx: Didgee Disorder |

I want to rant about the emergency department and how judgemental the staff are at that place. It isn't only towards people with mental illness. What is it with emergency doctors and their harsh judgement towards patients?
My friend who had a compressed nerve in his neck went to Emergency last fall due to extreme pain. He waited about 9 hours to be seen by the doctor. He hoped they would give him Lyrica, not any narcotic drugs. The emergency physician accused him of drug seeking and wondered why he was there. WTF? I've been judged harshly for showing up with mental health issues in the past, all at a specific TOH location. Their psych service is terrible and dehumanizing. I was offended and vowed never to return. My most "pleasant" emergency visit was in Brantford, Ontario. I got cut at work and needed stitches. The staff treated me with respect and concern especially since my fear of the place caused my blood pressure to increase a lot. It seems like the Emergency Department is a box of chocolates. You never know what you are going to get. __________________ Dx: Didgee Disorder |

I had one of the worst confusing mental states this evening. It was so difficult that I took euphoriants.
Now I'm looking at life, like holy ****.. what has happened. It's so great... what's happened... I just feel alone. So alone. I have memories that are only flashes of images, of good times... The best times of my life. It all ended, and I went through legit isolated hell. I say the same story.. All my posts are a cry for help, so the alien entities can channel me to a good place.. What work do I even have to do here.. I'm a pure soul that got lost in between the cracks of this incapable stone brick wall reality, falling apart, moving closer, to all, fall off of the edge. I hope that I'm where I'm supposed to be - Soon. I think it's possible. On the other side. |

I just want my mind to feel free. That is all. And I will make it happen.

Not to blow off your concerns, but have you tried DBT (I know, it sounds like I'm just telling you to try a new therapy that is newfangled and whatever, and that is what it does sound like, but it has really helped me to look into it). There are things called Distress Tolerance skills that I use a lot (it's part of DBT). The motto with those skills is that it's not about making things better; it's just about not making things worse. Anyway, it sounds like you didn't make things any worse. Which is pretty admirable in that situation of high stress. Seriously, it sounds stupid but I want to give you kudos for that. __________________ "Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.

Good to see you WA!
Just got back from the dentist. They replaced a filling that came off and did another separate new filling too. I only have one more filling to get done, which will be done on april 20th. But after that I have to schedule an appointment to get one of my crowns replaced. It’s an hour and a half long appointment to get that done.

They also said they’d fix my chipped front tooth while they do my other filling at my next appointment which is nice

I went and saw my doctor today. Told him all about this rash and everything I’ve been having. Fevers, chills, headache, etc. I feel fine now off the lamotrigine.
My doctor is away for a bit so he put in a referral to the psychiatrist to get advice what medication I should be on. He gave me a stop gap prescription for seroquel for now. My lab results didn’t come back yet for some reason but hopefully they’re there when I see the allergist on Monday. My doctor isn’t ready to completely write off the lamotrigine because my blood work isn’t there so this all could be something else but like idk I think it’s the lamotrigine because like I said I’m feeling physically better off of it. Anyway I see him again in a couple weeks. See how things turn out. I just get frustrated by side effects and med switches. I just wish things would stay stable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
