Victorias new mental health act

not sure how the complaints commisioner is going to help, they heraed my complaint and are gonna send a letter to me and the service about it, but its up to the service if they pay any attention to it, I doubt they will...the guy from the complaints commisisoner said to go to another tribunal hearing sounds like plenty of people are getting let off CTO's with the new act but not me yet, taking my hearing further to VCAT magistrates court, not sure I should be doing that when the coomplaints commissioner says to do another hearing with the tribunal.....he is orgaanaising me to get a second psychaitric opinion, but they are all the same I doubt I be able to find a good one.

despite saying a lot at a tribunal hearing, the descision wayed in my favour and they are not ready yet to release me from a CTO but set one for only 12weeks! so good there I will keep an eye on that date see if I can play the game enough to get onto low dose of orals and explain better the damage that an increase had on my life..so now they got this order to make a compremise with medication levels and as written in the law for the pscyhaitrist to take risks and see how I go because they are not sure if I would take too low dose and get unwell, so they wanta try to get me ready to be a voluntary patient and makes it easier to see an end to it, If things not go well then I am screwed myself, I gotta not screw myself and play the game with all my power, just for 12weeks, feel like this is gonna work! finally the law kinda works in my favour and maybe they heared me that the treatemtnt is a problem in my life..maybe not a problem with the rest of my life if I play my cards right.

That's fantastic! Bastards, all of them. I didn't know you were in Oz, btw, thought you were in Blighty!

Now, it's just a matter of waiting out the clock.

When one person believes something, it's a psychotic delusion. When a million people believe it, it's a religion.

then a medical model is a religiouun too, authoritorian fools deluded bastards lol deluded for what they think the "medication" does. thats what my disagreement is about with shrinks

NOt really impressed with the complaints commissioner, I sent lots of emails but he said he wasn't getting any more from it, his summary and what the shrinks have to answer to is too easy for them...they been asked to answer to the disagreement about the type and dose of medication and about not being satisfied with the level of communication about recovery goals where it might be a bit more tricky for them...overall my complaints are too old under the legislation they must have happened in the last 12months, they aren't hearing my actual complaint that is aobut the effect of the "mediation" and their deluded fantasy taht more will fix me up in areas thata rare deficited by the antipscyhotic itslef, the situation and my frustration, the complaints commissioner got none of that , and I brought up my memories that are never taken into consideration or reported in anything, they stop writing notes when i talk about the improtant stuff neither does the complaints commissioner, who knows what is going on really and I can't explain it very good obviously.

So I asked my case manager that I wanted things to happen as quick;;y as possible in regard to the order from MHT 12week CTO to get me ready for voluntary statust but they seem to be regarding my sanity for how many normal activities I do and what I do like my case manager was optamistic of seeing some improvement already to get me ready for volutnary kind of thing, trying to rehabilitate me with antipscyhotic so I start making freinds or something, its rediculous....so the only reason I get an appointment is because I finally complained abobut the spasm attacks I get in my quads and glutious and shaking uncontrollably but its when I ascend so tahts why I forget abobut it and never bring it up it worries the good astral activity, the bad astral stuff just makes me shake and tense up worse, when i trip bbut its the antipsychotic doing it...so thats the only reason I got an appointemtn, unless the pscyh attacking of the pscyhaitrists is working and they are afraid of me, its seems at least they don't want to see me and arn't gonna play along with the order, the psychaitrist would have some difficulty letting me take orals at the dose I want, but there is supposed to be collaboration, and that won't be happening if the psychaitrist is disagreeing with the basic facts regarding the iatrogenic illness brought on by the lack of dopamine and full chemical lobotomy..they say there medications are better then the metnal illness, I say no thats not true the medicaiton is far worse and does more damaage to a persons life then anything I natureally had, nothing disruptive untill there treataemtn made me worse, with withdrawals, that weren;;t mentioned at the hearing what I did during the relapse, just sleep deprivation really...I got side tracked....with a dumb head and thinking about weed...I want a lower dose so I don't want to smoke as much marijuana.

Hi Razael

Glad you got someone to help you out, but I would suggest keeping the delusion under wraps as society tend to refuse the right of people suffering delusion and you will never be given the right to have delusion and be a madman. That what psychiatry is designed to do, to put a restraint on people who is perceived to be mentally ill on behalf of society and to promote their treatment of said individuals. You can have your good feelings and experience and share it with your friends but don't share them with the mental health people, it would only encourage them to use their medical model in which you despise. Hope for the best.

thanks for the comment

just got off the phone to the complaints commissioner and he is reassuring me taht we have made positive steps to getting resolution and they aren;t over with my clinic whatsoever and may even hold meetings with me present to improce communications...but its mostly about the pscyhaitrist giving in to her own delusions and some fantasy world she has about me even seeing taht I ahd improved with more medication, but things got a hell of a lot worse...

Yeah and you lose freinds over apparent delusions about the astral travel, dunno what it is because nothing much really changes when exposed to antipscyhtoic for a long time, dont; really get into it that much would be better if I was not on antipscyhtics I have better time with it and not use marijuana if not on antipscyhotic

have appointment monday and case manager said she is going to try orals, so I won't answer my phone for the injection taht wasn't mentioned today a few days over due aint so bad...so now am wondering aht I gonna do, my case manager made it clear that I need to be really carefull about not getting unweell once I finally off the CTO....

should I just use rauwolfia serpentina for the maniacal symptoms don;t know if I turn pscyhotic or only watch my sleep, the rauwolfia helps to sleep and to clam me down, I gonna need calming down once I get out of this strong hold, over excitement I can expect and that will be part of the recovery, god help me if I don't recover from what the antipscyhotic has done to my life.

i am sorry to hear that. I was once forced to take injection. It took me months and months to feel better after being off. I suggest since you mentioned there is a possibility that they will switch you to the oral medication which is less intense you might want to comply for a little while. Once you are on the oral maybe you can start thinking about coming off maybe?
