Ungrateful

Postby ashc » Tue Jul 01, 2014 10:15 pm

I'm very angry with the Anti-psych "movement" . I need meds terribly, but the damn anti-psych/organized STALKING movement has ruined my chances of getting better. I KNOW I need meds, but I fear them like I SHOULD FEAR GOD. It makes me so angry. My palms get so sweaty just thinking about their research psychology. I can't think about meds without thinking about terrorism. I'm angry. Iwant to be aable to function, but all I can do is think about terrorism. I know it gets worse when I think about taking meds to function. They did this intentionally to get me off meds. It's unfair , because I can't move forward. I despise extremists including anti-psych extremists.


Oh, wait. My second mind is telling me something: Dear, you hate the environmental extremists.

Don't compare us to anti drug crusader extremists,

The Anti-psych movement is about fighting for basic inalienable human rights in the field of mental health, including, but not limited to, full informed consent regarding the medical legitimacy of psychiatric diagnosis, the risks of psychiatric treatments, the right to all available medical alternatives, and the right to refuse any treatment considered harmful.

Take any meds you want if they make you feel better, why the hell not ?

To be fair, there are some of them on here that post. I can see how they're easily confused for one another.

Oh. I see. Yeah. I think I'm referencing the anti drug crusader extremists.

Ok. I didn't realize what the anti-psych movement is. I guess I am thinking about those who don't believe in medicine.

I think there are different extremes within the anti-psych movement. Some people are anti medication completely and some are more as copy_cat phrased it. Each individual is different as with all "movements" there are extremists.

Its like this, if someone says they have social anxiety and a doctor says try Paxil I am going to reply,

GlaxoSmithKline, a leading drugs manufacturer, was last week forced to admit that paroxetine, a widely prescribed antidepressant and the company's best selling drug, can cause severe withdrawal symptoms when stopped.

“This drug has been promoted for years as safe and easy to discontinue,” said Charles Medawar, head of Social Audit, a consumer research group specialising in medicines policy. “The fact that it can cause intolerable withdrawal symptoms of the kind that could lead to dependence is enormously important to patients, doctors, investors, and the company.

Just like if someone says they are going to do an 8-ball of cocaine, have fun but be careful with that stuff.

If you feel medication truly helps you then you should take it as your doctor prescribes. Im not against what legitimately works for individual people. More allowing people to choose for themselves rather than having it forced on them. Everyone is different and has their own rights along with their own needs. If you know you need those meds its your right to go ahead with them. Think of anti psych this way: you can not tell others what to do, but certainly you can tell yourself what to do if that makes sense. You can make your own choices but not for someone else. Its more of psychs should allow people to choose their own treatment while told all the risks, gains, pros and cons.



I wish you the best, please don't be angry, Im happy you found something that you feel is right for you. Meds never worked for me, but that is because everyone is different. Different things work for different people.

I was not anti psychiatry until I was admitted to a facility against my will and I know I don't have any mental illness. If someone without any mental illness can be accused of having a serious mental illness that requires them to be forced into a facility against there wills it is quite obvious that mental illness is built off of lies and exaggerations.

Psychiatrists can make anyone look ill, or put that thought into their head. If they didn't institutions wouldn't be making the profit they do. They brainwash people into believing they were ill or much sicker than actually are.

I can believe that. Not to mention, the everlasting effects of research psychology. All of it is wrong in my opinion.
