Are doctors controlling your life choices too?

As long as they aren’t working for organized crime than we’re good.

I’ve been terrified of everyone I’ve seen other than one woman at Mclean who unfortunately moved to southern California on short notice. Even she overstepped her bounds. Unfortunately most saw my fear as hostility and some retaliated by maligning me in the kind of immature way I’d expect of an 8th grader.

I’m still terrified of them, though the one I see today has the charm of a bumbling geek, but what can lie behind that who knows.

sometimes i lie to my current psychiatrist and my psychologist… they’re kinda naive compared to my previous psychiatrist.

Doctors can only control your life if you’ve proven that you’re incapable of doing it yourself.

I think They don’t know me, they want to press their ideas of who and what I am and I don’t want to listen to what lies they make up about me, fact

I think they are useless at this point in my life, as I am happily married, one year anniversary yesterday :slight_smile: but I’m having a revelation, as it’s my 25th birthday on Monday, and I don’t want them controlling my life anymore, and maybe should try to stop this grasp they have on me, once and for all, by actually talking to them honestly for a start, I think they don’t understand in full, after timeless times telling them ’ I am better, fine, great’ words I have tried too many time, to tell them I am great, and in control of this whole thing myself… I do my own research into the illness and CBT like topics…

maybe because i’m such a considerate person, I don’t wish to waste there time anymore…I have the help I needed, but have grown into a whole different person, but they don’t listen, they fob me off everytime, making me out to be problematic, I tried my best with that particular women, but she was abusive, and that was the last straw, I am not a puppet…to me scrutinised and questioned and poked at like a rat in a laboratory…

enough is enough, maybe it’s fine for some to still have there instructions, but I feel if i’m to grow any more as a person, I need to break free from the pointless appointments…

I need to take charge, because they obviously don’t have a clue about me and what I need…

I have to meet with this kind CPN every two weeks, which I don’t mind, because she’s like a friend, and does not choke me with her opinions, we talk about nail varnish colours, books i’m reading and her up coming wedding, and the weather, that’s fine, and she has been saying to me i’m doing fantastic, and doesn’t have a problem, or see a problem…

why do psychiatrists who are over paid, sitting on there ass all day have a clue about anything, if they don’t listen, they have there own perception of what a schizophrenic should be like act and be controlled, and they probably relish in that control, I have no problem saying this, because that’s me done, I’ve heard enough of the same old same old…

they can’t fix me, I did that myself, they will NOT get ownership of my improvement, only me… I did it. not with their help tho…

you can say medication helped, but I don’t believe that either, it’s just a sedative, it’s me who has the work on myself every morning, to listen to my self and see what I need to do…

meeting up with them only disrupts my good flow.

good day everyone

It’s always best to be open and honest with your treatment team.

If you aren’t satisfied with the treatment you’re getting you can always get a new doctor. Remember, they work for you. Take charge of your recovery.

I’m at the point where a lot of life choices are gone for me. As long as you don’t act out, and you show them your symptoms are under control, you will have a lot more choices. They can’t stop you.

cheers, thanks, I think I’ve rambled on enough, no I’ve finally got that off my chest, lol :wink:

hey crimby, yeah I think the most part of my delusions are surrounded by that these days, but the doctors in that hospital, kinda scare me, at the moment I don’t want kids, maybe never do, but the one thing I hate, is being told I can’t do something, i’m stubborn :slight_smile:
