so a person high up in suicide prevention tells a mental health patient threes nothing wrong with him?


Lol. @REDLINEZ750 , the stories I could tell...

When I told my first therapist I had a history of being suicidal (in an effort to get him to understand I was currantly suicidal, without risking getting myself committed), he just waved me off with: "Well everybody goes through that..."

In a later session, he implied that it was undesirable to live to an old age, like him.

Same therapist would later assert that I definitely wasn't depressed, while a later therapist would diagnose me as being incapable of feeling happiness, which is apparently regarded as a definite form of depression, so I don't know...

These people don't seem to know whether their coming or going... 😐

@unreal @Questions-- @Jynx Eye contact's always been a big problem for me, too. The only way I know to describe it is that it hurts - although I realize that's not a very helpful description.

Best guess is that it's because when I was a kid, whenever I got in trouble my dad would force me to look him in the eye and tell him what happened.

WWHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!
Its frightening to think how many people are harmed there mental health made worse by some bad apples in the field.
My experience this time round was certainly interesting to say the least. The start of it was the hospital mental health nurse i saw after a meticulously planned suicide attempt which went horribly wrong was forcing me to stop stimming to self regulate myself and it just went on from there.
