it is so hard to describe how bad it is when you are broken down...
when I broke down... for a month all I could do was eat and pee and cry..
then I was feeling that I could not be responsible for anything..
I tried going to a research lab but all I could do was wash glassware...
and I could only stay in the lab for a couple of hours...
you could have whipped me and I would not be able to do any work..
it is terrible to remember this..but it is important for others to understand..
YOU JUST CANT DO MUCH...it is kinda like paralysis..but others do not understand..
you have to experience it to know how awful and how weak you feel...

I am now reading the book BEYOND PROZAC....by an irish doctor terry lynch..
if I was back in psychiatry practice I would not prescribe any medicines/drugs....
if a person needed or wanted drugs I would refer them to another doctor...
i would only be talking...no drugs...but i would not look down on anyone taking or wanting drugs...this is an awful world and we are trying to survive and feel good..
and i take drugs...and if i needed them i would take more..

they tried to get me to see patients every 15 minutes.....I wouldn't do it..
they kept telling me that I was not doing enough...not seeing enough patients...
I will NEVER submit to that kind of way to treat people..
especially people that are suffering....

They were jerks to do that to you and your patients. Good for you!

Most of the psychiatry department walked out because of this at my medical center. Including my doctor. I don’t blame them. It created quite a crisis for a while until they finally changed things. I get 1/2 hour appointments now. Much better.

we need to tell our stories to someone who will listen and not judge..
we need to talk about what really happened to us..
we need to be loved...we need to belong...no matter what happened..
and we need to listen....



people will try to take us down...don't let them do it..
they want to feel superior ...
we are not inferior..we are different

I am different...I am badly broken but no one is superior to me...
this makes me very very angry...fuzzy I need your bus

when we tell our stories it is very painful...we will cry and scream about the hurt..
how badly we were hurt....

I was hurt very badly by people I trusted ....I still have tears and anger...
I need the fuzzy bus and also another bus where we can all cry until you
cant cry anymore...two buses....or maybe two compartments

Dear little turtle, I am sorry I haven't checked in with you in a while. I have been very busy with my home being full. I have a 3 br house, and they are all full with people that I wish I didn't have to deal with. It seems like every day is about the same, and goes on, and on. And I can't wait for bed time, and it seams as soon as I fall asleep, it is time to get up and start all over again. Anyway I hope and Pray things are going ok for you!!!!!!!

I wish that my depression and anxiety would go away and I would feel more happiness and look forward to living every day. I have been struggling a lot for over 4yrs now and its getting too much. I feel tired, frustrated and hopeless. There is improvement but its too too slow. I want to get a lot better very soon.

.
I have my bf whom I met here and he listens when I talk to him about my problems and he loves me very much.

they want to feel superior ...
we are not inferior..we are different.....

People try to take me down every day and make me feel inferior. I try to tell myself that I m not inferior and fight with their abuse every day. These are the people whom I had once trusted...they were my friends in school and college. Now Im left with no friends except my online bf. But he is so far away. I have him and you all to pull me through this dark phase.

Thanks you described it so well. It was kinda same for me. But it was for a longer time. Only recently I have started working from home as I still cant go out and work in an office. Hopefully I can manage. It will boost my confidence and help me to earn something.

Same with me. Here we don't have good therapists. Therapy is not well structured, there is no good follow-up the next day and the therapist also doesn't want to spend adequate time with the patient. Moreover therapy costs a lot of money which I cant afford.
