Andy is unable to speak again tonight. It hasn't happened for a long time, so we're both a bit scared. I've tried to reassure him that his voice will return, but I know he's worried each time it happens.
This is #LifeAfterECT. I don't understand why they do this to people 😔
Positive effects of community attachment on internalised stigma and wellbeing among people who inject drugs [abstract] https://t.co/hP2k1xgxjI #SUD#PWUD#PWID
I see another psychiatrist playing the victim. Why do these professionals enjoy playing the victim? They have no wish to see their own problematic behaviour. Ergo they have no business commenting on their patients' behaviours.
Psychiatrists are very nice when you are swallowing your drugs and doing what is expected, they are not so nice when you are harmed by their treatments, that tells me to stay away from them.
Thank you to everyone for your support tonight, anyone who attacks another and says they are crazy and should be sectioned does so with the intention of killing that person . That is what happened tonight.
Talk about pill-shaming, stigma and shaming are getting very tiresome because they are used to shut down legitimate conversations among people who want to discuss drug harms.
"anti-med type" is a slur and an insult against anyone who is keen to discuss the harms caused by psych drugs, it is juvenile name-calling, as in the school playground .
When I sought help because I was suicidal I did not realise that the help offered would include giving me drugs to make me more suicidal. Lesson learned. Never seek help again.
A family member's doctor tried to give them Ativan "for sleep" with a daily 90+ refillable RX.
They declined the prescription because of my story.
It scares me that most won't get, until it's too late, how quickly their well meaning, but benzo-dumb doc can to ruin their life
