Admitting to a client that they're wrong logically while saying I know how you feel is just very gaslighty. If you don't believe your clients then why don't you just admit that they're wrong and you don't believe them? Anyway both just do the same effect which invalidates the client either way, I'd rather have them be honest than pull this mental gymnastics bc it does the same thing at the end: gaslight us and our feelings. Therapists and the modalities just want to gaslight their patients and blame it all on them and pull up their own bootstraps like a good conservative NPC. Fuck ALL therapiats and CBT/DBT/EDMR therapy, all is bullshit in the end.

I often see content on Instagram where people with PTSD/neurodivergence/other mental illnesses are thought to possess qualities like empathy, emotional depth, kindness etc because of the said mental illness they have. When we look at research , evidence doesn't support these narratives. What are your thoughts on this? This post is from an actual psychologist.

What are the symptoms of a damaged brain and altered one ??

So I had a psychosis and they gave me an injection called Invega sustenna 4 month ago. I’ve completely loss my self memory about who im ,it's as if my soul no longer looks through my eyes, lost my social skill it’s difficult for me to comprehend facial expression,I can’t express my self anymore and can’t communicate properly it’s like I’m literally dead. few days ago I had a brain burn but I was feeling it in the back of my head and after that I was felling like dying for like 3 days and wile I was having this in the second day my pressure was almost at 200 I literally almost died. So do y’all think the injection had me have brain damage or the psychosis?? I need help

If brain cells are dying does the brain become smaller and can we see it on an MRI

Rn I dont know if it cause Invega Sustenna shot or the psychosis that cause me to be in this shit but I really don’t think I will get back to the way I was it’s like my brain has been damaged by this shit and he’s trying to compensate the damage that’s fucked up can’t believe that’s real it feel like a dream

Years ago, you folks got the message out to one of the generic mental health subs I followed. Through you, I have discovered Daniel Mackler. Finding Daniel and his work was the tipping of dominos in my life leading me to get off psych meds and break from my family of origin. Next came the cycle of healing: deep depression, as the disassociation broke. I’m unable to greave, so I waddle back and forth between depression and disassociation. What do I need to look at to break through into grieving?

What are my options? These side effects are almost as bad as the schizophrenia. I have oculogyric crisis, akathisia, sexual dysfunction and vomiting. I don’t think I will be taking the medication again, id rather stay medication-less.

Pro-suicide has essentially become the position of some who criticize the dominant mental health paradigm, if reddit is any indication.

Since the system locks up the suicidal, it must be the reactionary radical thing to do the opposite, to the point of having psychiatrists off patients directly. Since the system tells us our perceptions are distorted, it must be the reactionary radical thing to assume the despair of the suicidal is a permanent and immutable trait, when they tell us so. Since the system ignores structural oppression, it must be the reactionary radical thing to encourage escaping structural oppression on a lasting basis.

How does it elude that this is exactly where they want us?

Obviously the system doesn't care that we live: institutionalization is an act of reinforcing the dominant power structure. What challenges that structure is not hastening its slow murder of us all, but actually living long enough to make a dent in it. Collectively. That is what the radical mental health movement has always stood for. Direct care, sitting with the suicidal, creating alternative support systems — but also other economies, relationships, ways of being and experiencing the outer realms of our consciousness.

Fighting the despair, not encouraging it. Imagining what could be, not telling each other that this is all there is. Helping others to improve the material reality of their lives, not shrugging and saying, "Oh, well, you've suffered long enough."

That attitude is the essential and sadistic logic of the system, which at any moment could switch gears to — as it already has in some places — advocate the "compassionate" termination of the "mentally ill." That is where all of this ends, exactly where it began, with euthanizing the undesirable. And some redditors have already provided the perfect neoliberal framing: It's a matter of personal choice and equal access to death, after all!

Exactly where they fucking want us. And if you don't value the lives of other people in these spaces enough to fight for their continuation, against all odds, I don't know what the fuck you stand for or what the fuck you are doing here.

Why it still getting worse my memory and all I don’t understand it’s been 4month since last shot and things still getting worse every second what the fuck.I fell like I’m in an other dimension I can’t understand when people talking can’t understand situation that happen everything is the same. Is it a withdrawal symptom?

In 1948 the President of the Rockefeller Foundation had commented that he feared the 15-year campaign to insert psychiatry into academia and medicine as a valid scientific subject had involved the foundation in a 'social racket'. Robert S Morison, head of the Medical Sciences division provided this answer to his boss:

*“*In other words, the campaign of psychiatrists for recognition has succeeded beyond expectations. Since this improvement in status has been won with little reference to scientific evidence, it is natural that psychiatrists under-rate the necessity of providing such evidence in the future. It is here that I think they are making their greatest mistake for I believe they underrate the tentativeness with which acceptance has been extended. My guess is that most medical men who have accepted psychiatry have essentially said to themselves, “These people seem to have something that is worth listening to; let’s give them a break.” They are still waiting, however, for evidence of the sort which has validated, for instance, the use of antibiotics. If this is not forthcoming within the next ten or fifteen years they may react rather violently, partly out of embarrassment for having extended a welcoming hand to a group which finally failed to produce.” …

*“*There have been several times recently when I have felt that the leaders of American psychiatry are trying to establish truth on the basis of majority vote. This is, of course, quite contrary to the usual scientific procedure of submitting evidence which can stand on its own merits in a candid world.”

Robert S Morison, head of the Medical Sciences division, Rockefeller Foundation. 1948

Hi, if a drug is lipophilic, does that mean it will ever truly leave the system? Do fat cells regenerate 100% within a lifetime?

For sure there are no mental disorders, only natural emotions and traumatic memory imprints (the exception to the rule is psychoparhy). The whole idea of mental disorders are based on the cognitive biases and logical fallacies, it's "easier" to "explain" emotional distress in somebody by ignoring who they are and not using empathy, sympathy and a conscience, and the flawes idea of psychiatric diagnosis is about belief in authority and lots of other logical fallacies.

What the belief in psychiatry and psychological mental disorder diagnosises paradigm does to society, relationships and the world is abhorrent. They created by their logically flawed reasoning and biased lies a society where the human ape no longer is an ape, but an insane animal that does not believe in emotions and traumatic experiences in others.This has created a world where violence, abuse, neglect and murder becomes something society in its ignorance not only ignores, but promotes as cures.

Theres no official end date just a possible one and the reason they gave me this punishment is cause i was trolling online while heavily intoxicated and they use those texts against me and the bs diagnosis of the forensic psychiatrist (which they barely read cause the judge named another diagnosis than the psych) to support the punishment they wanna give me.

Last year was hell. I was nervous, stressed, worried, depressed and restless the whole year (still but i feel a little better even tho i had periods that were just as bad as last year) cause they let me wait almost the whole year before i could show up in court for higher appeal and nothing came from it.

If i didnt go into higher appeal i wouldve been on my second year now so much closer to my freedom but now im on my first year so after this year is done i have two full years to go and hope that they will set me free.

Time is going so slow its driving me nuts and every little thing i do makes me lose my mind i wouldnt be too surprised if i have brain damage by now

Im forgetting way faster now which is the beginning of brain damage. Chronic stress kills you faster than anything else.

Im exhausted suffering after suffering i cant handle it IT FEELS LIKE THEY WANNA SLOWLY KILL ME😔

Seriously, why the fuck are WE putting up with this. Having rich upperclass therapists tell us how THEY WANT US to live by.

Doctors dont understand us. They never will. The biggest problem is their greed and heartlessness.

Its time we give them the middle finger
