i am hearing voices tonite and they make me feel like i don’t have my right of privacy, like they are intruders in my home.
also, sometimes these hallucinations make me feel like i don’t have confidentiality in the social worker’s or pdoc’s offices.
i wonder if they are not hallucinations and i really lost my rights and why.

sending sympathy and I whole heartedly relate to the feeling of loss of privacy.
As for rights, I question whether most of us truly have them.
I want to offer you the hope that this passed for me, and is much better these days, the past few weeks after my year + of living hell.
thanks mussel for the encouragement and inspiration.
I am trying to get there – out of hell, myself.
thanks again, judy
I’m with @mussel, try and stay positive @ifeelblessed. I know how wrenching this must be for you, as it is for me. Can you take something for sleep and forget the pain tonight?
This can happen but most of the time this kind of stuff passes unless you stopped taking your medications. Some of the mental care is psychic if you quit taking the meds, and will try to contradict themselves or lie to you for a while to get the point across. Hated this kind of clinic employee myself when I encountered this as I took myself off meds so I could drop weight, not delusional and never had any relief with the med anyway – only bad side effect of weight gain.
Did not take meds for 2 years and just switched to therapist myself. However, ran into some horribly trained therapy in my city that made threats to forcibly psych hospital me for giving constructive criticism about the care. Found out during this time, my insomnia really is bad enough to benefit from psych meds (seroquel is good, ambien eventually) and returned to different psych DR for care. Did not go back to county psych clinic, do not like the people they started to hire who will play with your head sometimes doing thought broadcasting or privacy invasion. Remember, it can get you a forcible psych hospital stay if you ever get confrontational with your psych care/staff or even constructive criticism. Just call some new DR and do not return to old care when you find something that meets needs better.
Older staffers have made the private psych care here more desirable. Things are more professional.
I know what you mean stillperkin.
I don’t know who I can and cannot trust anymore. trust is really important for me esp. with pdocs and therapists. I love my new pdoc and I like my therapist.
I get really scared from all this reality stuff. sometimes I wonder if I can trust anybody and that is an exaggeration of the truth in my life by far. there ARE people in my life, many, I can trust to be ethical etc.
and t hen I remember that the old pdoc I had was just from the old school and didn’t mean me any harm. sometimes I forget that and then it is a downward spiral for me.
thanks for caring and sharing, judy
I feel the same way the person who I have stuck in my head. Won’t give me peace of mind, because it just wants to invade my privacy. What do I do to stop it?
