I know i have loads of anger, fear, sadness about my treatment in psychiatry, or the lack thereof. They just watched me and my family go to ruins and did nothing at all to help, while we begged for them to do something. Im so angry about it.
The other trauma’s in my life, like childhood sexual abuse or adult abuse, arent as bad. I think of them much less. I have (almost) forgiven. But this just keeps coming up, every time something reminds me.
What to do about it? I dont want to spend my days angry at some stupid psychiatrists who have long forgotten me. That seems like a rather worthless way to spend my days.
I do loads of other things btw…I work and do fun things and social stuff and dance and go for drinks and all. But i want the angry piece of me to be gone, that comes up when im confronted with this.
I went through that for a very long time. I kept looking for new pdoc every few years until I found the one I have who is very kind to me and does not mistreat me at all. She is willing to advocate for me if need be too.
Yes, maybe finding a good one would help. It might help me forget the bad ones. We actually have an extremely good and loyal and great child psychologist for ages…which is a blessing.
I still have issues with the way I was treated by one of my pdocs. I think the treatment may have been borderline unethical. I was too vunerabled to look for a new dr. At that time
It’s taken being with my newest pdoc for the last 4 years for it to subside. I still get angry when I hear stories about what people are going through though
Maybe a bit of angry isnt bad. It might actually be useful in my work, as long as i can channel it into tactfully teaching people instead of being pissed off and fantasizing of revenge.
I like to control my anger, but I turn it inward, better than against others. It will probably kill me but its worth it. A whole lot less trouble and I think about it and sometimes it comes out creatively or assertively.
It’s hard to contain the anger and hurt one feels when your psychiatric care has been inadequate , and the people who have been meant to help and support you have spent more time being critical of you and dismissive of your needs .
42 years under various incarnations of my previous mental health services and a brick wall to getting them to see there was more going on than mental illness .
One appointment here in October 2018, a referral made and 7 months later I’m diagnosed with Asperger’s. That might seem like a long time but it’s actually much quicker than many going through the assessment process.
Do you guys have socializes medical over there. I have waits to for biopsy and MRI s. I’m in VA health care a short time but so far am satisfied. I can see with the process being so long that they don’t start the process for everything and that ads up to poor care for you? @firemonkey. The must not be putting much money into mental health.
I get so angry at my voices, it can’t be healthy. I’ve imagined doing terrible things to them. I’ve often said that if Heaven’s real, they better watch out because when I finally get there I’m going to punch the first person I see square in the face.
I also could use some tips to help with the anger. Sometimes the things I think about doing to voices are violent things nobody should be thinking about. It’s hard though because the hallucinations really push me to the brink sometimes.
I’m iffy on my new psychiatrist, she’s not really listening to me. I wish I could request a doctor who has a family member with sz or sza and is on a personal moral mission to help. I hope things go well for the both of us.
