I have been in mental health wards 16 times in my life so far (and no I am not making some sort of competition out of it) and have been tried on 30-40 different medications from approximately 50 different doctors all working in the free public healthcare mental health systems here in Australia, with most hospitals in the city having their own specialists wards, and other outpatient clinics facilities across the city.
Some of the medication I have been tried on was so overtly intense they needed to bloodtest my whiteblood cell count every week , just to make sure it was not killing me (no shit, these are the drugs/meds they try people on) And when I was on it, I could barely walk, talk, eat, move and find my way around the place, but that is if only I was not knocked out sleeping for 2 days straight without interruption and waking up wondering where the fuck I am.
A decade or so later, today, I am an outpatient with a very good mental health facility, that are actually really nice people who have me on some proper medications that actually works, and have me doing psychology usually 1 time every week or two, which I actually need.
I come to learn that through the hundreds of people that I met during going through the system (both 'patients' and 'doctors'), that being partly mentally ill is normal, but the problem is most people deny it and fight it. But it is true, we are a crazy species even at our most best and kindly.
>t. I am mentally ill.
And the world is what made us all insane. But never ever blame the past... because that is completely insane.
It concerns me that Australians post like this on the internet, but aren't posting here.
