Confessions of little turtle with love #3

Hugs to all.

I wanted to be a medical doctor. I wanted to help people. I wanted to be looked upon by my colleagues, those who save lives, those who sacrifice some of their health and happiness for the sake of having a job where you heal the sick.

Not only that, I am extremely passionate about the "machinery" behind medicine. Granted, I am not someone who enjoys biochemistry and some of the other fields which are the backbone of medicine, as they're taught at the university level. However, if I could just find myself a little bit of place between the illness of myself and my parents, I could have just enjoyed the ride biochemistry is.

I could have been a neurosurgeon. Hell, I could have been the Director-General of the World Health Organization. It's easy to be skeptical about my statements, but I know what they are - an essential part of the truth of who I am.

But I am not fortunate enough to be so. Since my parents neglected my psychological and physical well being ever since I was a child, I am almost nothing. I can't even drive. I feel depressed whenever I think about this. There is no help for me. I am a goner.

Hugs and respect to all

Not that every doctor is righteous or follows the oath of Hippocratus, I just wanted to become one who is righteous and follows the oath of Hippocratus. Unfortunately, I am not fit for medical college. I wouldn't care if only one doctor in the world could make a patient's life better. I would have been one.

I am sorry that your experience with doctors wasn't well. I am from overseas (neither US nor UK), and I think most doctors here are righteous.

I agree about the system in our forest

I agree many close their ears and label us

I would also donate years, little turtle

Much love to all who are respectful and AS IS

Hugs to you

Doctors are often the victims of violence here. Politicians don't care. Many doctors are beaten up brutally and although (only) doctors protest, their pleas go unnoticed. And after all, every professional in this world is just a mere person.

Hugs to you too

Hugs and respect to you too fuzzy

i am disturbed this morning...i have been looking at the story
of a young man ANDREW RICH who died by suicide in january 2019...

his story is on MAD IN AMERICA....psychiatry has really
gone downhill .......it makes me very sad...

I think there have been some improvements in the DSM or the equivalent?
Some of the ugliest, most NEGATIVE, blaming and meaningless labels have been scrapped?
Why would doctors or any professional ever use some of those labels... ugh

All suicides are very sad

A friend’s father killed himself when I was 14

Hugs and respect to little turtle and all on the as is bus

Dorothy Rowe has a lot to say about psychiatry and some of the labels that were used

I don’t think some of the labels used now are helpful or even accurate either
(But as I stay away from doctors I don’t carry a bunch of labels with no help like so many in this forest have . Jmo

“Bad paws” tapes love to play in my head... grrrrrrrrrr

thanks fuzzy and everyone here...

Psychiatry is not loving.

It seeks to label and judge.

Maybe one day the medical profession will offer help rather than shame us.

When will we learn to lift other people up rather than knock them down?

Thank you Fuzzybear and Little Turtle for being here today Thank you to everyone on the bus

I have also found this with psychiatry.
Thank you to all on the bus for being here.

Much love to all on the AS IS bus

Being AS IS....

Oh dear TS... I thought I accepted myself as is.

I have been meditating and learnt a new skill.

But now I realise that I wasn't truly accepting myself as is at all.

Sending respect and compassion to all who are struggling with difficult emotions on the bus

we are together here TS.....i am finding out that i am rather ordinary...
