How do you get to use a computer? Also your doctors probably a psychopath if he doesn’t know what that means. These kinds of people are arguable dum@sses on the surface, but they are cold and callous as well. Press him, and also ask if he knows what a psychopath is. If he says he doesn’t, them question his education level, and treat him like the dum@ss that he is. Fck with his ego, while @busing his supposed $tupidity. If he is dum as he acts, then start seeing the insane $hit that you can get away with. Ask for a wireless phone(some places actually have these[ say that the ones on the unit are never available], Ask for double meals(You didn’t eat alot/feel malnourished, or you were losing weight)as well as whatever else you can do. Ask for whatever amenities you can get, because, honestly, fck this guy. I had a pdoc that was just like this guy that you were talking about, and with these kind of people, your negotiation skills will go up tremendously. But he needs to be in jail above all else. I would get out of there as soon as possible, unless you think that the meds he is giving you(I think this is honestly medical, and could be toxoplasmosis, but fck, what would he know about that, either.) are helping/already taking the symptoms away. To sum it all up, he kept me there, longer than almost everybody else, and I became a total douche, asking for snacks from different nurses, negotiating the lowest medicine possible, while having to take random deals(sure dum@ss but fck you) and occasionally, he tried to yell and project his narcissism. He must know his exam room pretty well, because sometimes I would go near deaf when he started. I gave him the same ■■■■ back(usually retaliatory, but sometimes when he was feeling peaceful[because fck that guy] . I made sure there wasn’t as much air in the room as I was opening(entering the room) and closing the door as to not make him go deaf. On the way out I would accidentally slam the door just loud enough that for some reason, the sound was loud enough really only bother him. If the nurses were bad, I would ask them innocent condescending questions about why they wouldn’t know something(their job really is notoriously easy) hence embarrassing them, and making them look abysmal in front of everyone. If another person who was staff was just like them, I would just involve other people, making the original nurse feel even worse about herself, feel completely stupid, while the other patients were just still giving them $hit. Long story short, do what you can and get what you can from these people. If they act off, let an appropriate amount of people (coherent, non-narcissistic patients) know and they will start them endless amounts of ■■■■. It’s funny, but that’s how things can go your way in this type of situation. Extended sick leaves were taken as well as many vacation days. Some people got beat the fck up, while others, occasionally collateral-acting(they had their share of douche moments and hid in the back office) were sent to a hospital. Some people(eventually even staff supposedly)went to jail(because for some reason, they didn’t look ‘reactive’, or couldn’t keep a cooler head when security(who was even jumped, at least initially, lol) eventually showed up(if they did). They even told the staff at certain times, that they would have to fend for themselves, or even start behaving(yes, that actually had to come out) I played good guy after that and we got alot of snacks and drinks in return, at least. The only people who would never get it were the sadists(yes, there are sadists that work in the mental health industry) and we had to call attorneys( who threatened lawsuits and criminal charges) just to get them to fck off. I never really went to groups, because I already knew just about everything about psychology.(most of it is just common sense, unless your just curious about certain people and supposed mental health conditions that are just rare, or/and are questionably caused by medical conditions, making psychiatry look completely irrelevant in terms of treatment). It really is up to you what you want to do about this, but your best is to look up personality disorders and even Axis I types like the different types of Schizophrenia, Mania, and Bipolar disorder(even the older ones that are not even in the current DSM[Diagostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, I believe is what is called] . Sadism(of all things was taken out, and Borderline was just added in the previous one. Sh*t’s scary if you think about it. As I said, alot of people in the Health field(including your doctor, very likely) have mental illnesses and are doing everything everything they can to be unprofilable. Sadism is real and active in many places, even in schools(though it’s mostly student’s that just happen to be required, at least by their parents and/or ego of not looking stupid, having friends). Sociopathic and Psychopathic Disorder, are now 'Anti-Social Personality Disorder, but people know that this is bs and these people, while similar in their lack of empathy, really can act different in alot of ways. Sociopaths tend to act impulsively, and can be friendly(depending on their comfort zone and how they were raised) while Psychopaths can vary quite a bit. They tend to be cold, calculating, and callous, while gaslighting you every chance they get. They also live a parasitic lifestyle taking easy jobs, and living with people for as long as they can to avoid paying rent and while contributing as little/if at all as they can. They avoid work, even when given breaks, and are just a pain in the @ss to deal with as a whole. If you have anymore questions about how to deal with these types of people, and/or to deal with being in a psych unit, then feel free to hit me up. Good luck out there.
