Hi all,

I'm new to this forum. I'd like to introduce myself. I'm 40 years of age, female. My interests include music (any genre), reading a great novel, watching comedy, Restuaranting, and learning new things. I suffer from depression and anxiety. Depression feels very lonely for me. I'd like to reach out for some support. Thank you.

I can't even begin to fathom what you might be going through in the past 2 years since their intervention. 😞

Thankyou,

It feels like I'm being punished for something I didn't do 🥺

Believe me, I somewhat know the feeling and I wasn't even restrained or anything!! It's like you're trapped in this horrific nightmare - elm st. It gives me nightmares and extreme night terrors to this day. It's horrible.

Yeh it's pretty traumatic. And being locked in a psych ward for 3 mnths truely traumatized me.
So much unecessary trauma entered my life when they got involved.

I'm still here though...still trying to get through to them, still trying to find the right ppl to help me.

The guilt is written all over them. U can't mistreat ppl and have a clear conscience. Some ppl call them the medical mafia...I agree.

Donut101,

Why do you feel lost? How could you connect with yourself again? what do you think you can do to achieve that? I haven't found myself again yet and been struggling for a long time, too. I get anxious a lot these days. And, I'm battling depression for a long time. It doesn't get any easier, but I have my moments.

They do mistreat people. Certainly, they've mistreated me and they can sleep at night with a clear conscience. My family too, sleep well at night, whilst I'm left psychologically damaged. I figure, well, my mum has lost me as a daughter, and that's her fault. Not mine. She has to live with what she did to me for the rest of her life. I'll move forward from this someday, and I'll be happy again, whilst she can live in her own misery. That's justice for me. She ruined me and our relationship for abusing me my whole life, in particular, for abusing me as an adult. I hope she rots in hell for what she did to me.

Just don't get some ppl and what they get out of abusing ppl. You've got a good goal to strive for- to get passed it and be happy again. Not easy when you're in the thick of it though.
Yeh my perpetrators can probably sleep at night too. I have a feeling the public psych tosses and turns a lot- always looks tired.
Perhaps they have all made their beds in hell. And will also go through hell on Earth.
If they can dish it...they should be prepared to take it.

Agreed. They think they're above it all, and above the law, too. So are you in a hospital now or at home? I hope you're at home, darl.

You're right. They think they are above the law.

Yeh at home. Haven't been to hospital for nearly two years.
Well I'd call it jail really, after everything I was subjected to in there and had to witness.

People probably wouldn't believe me if I told them.

I have virtually no dealings with them except for the week that they harassed me for no reason, and I wasn't believed by the Police Officer. Why would anyone believe a 'crazy' person, you know? Makes me so angry and sick to my guts that they can just rort the system and abuse their powers, whenever they like and whomever. Even if I don't get justice, I want them exposed.

I believe you. I say this because it happened to me. Im here for you. x
