Red, I believe in your idea & openly support it in a vigorous way! It would be/could be infinately helpful to help ourselves from within, without fear. I want to talk about all of this without looking over my shoulder. I feel like I can openly trust total strangers here, but have no faith in the "proffessionals".
Please ignore my idea. They're not going to make a mental health thread anyway. If they liked the idea that much, they'd already have made a category for it. Not being mean, but ... well I don't know. I too, have no faith in the professionals, but in order for me to be treated I have to see one. The episodes I have when I don't have my medication are horrible. Mum says I argue with her and talk about things that don't make sense... etc. (If ya don't believe me I can let her talk to you). I'm thinking about going out of town to a bigger city to get treated. My psych isn't a quack, but his wife is, who works in the same job with him. She once threatened to throw me in the mental hospital because I told her I'd rather die than to be in a body that is not mine.
Her husband, my psych, says that the only time I have to go to the hospital is if I cut myself anymore, or if I feel suicidal. I'm an ex-cutter.
