I left here a few months ago or so. I'm now currently working full time as a care giver at a senior home. I also still see my life coach. Around April I stopped taking my meds. The withdrawal lasted a month and I declined in my mental health a lot. I eventually got back on my feet after that month and then for months I have never been so happy in my life. I began to feel great and I felt more in control. I was happy with my life. Sadly mental health always comes back to bite you in the ***. 3 weeks ago I had to go to the hospital because I wanted help, I was feeling suicidal and having a breakdown. I went to the hospital and waited 6 hours in a quiet room. They had no mental health crisis nurse because it was her day off which is ridiculous enough that they only have one crisis nurse in my whole province. They then took me to a cell, it had steel doors, surrounded by stone walls and a mattress with a bed and a pillow on it. I waited for about an hour and the doctor finally came in. Apparently since I was 17 I was misdiagnosed. I did not have psychosis or anything. I have autism, SAD, Depression and anxiety. He then told me I was a person who overreacts and sent me home. So for 4 years I have been given the wrong medications, and I have been taking them. Every time I said I didn't feel good on them my doctor gave me a higher dose. Mental health care here is truly abused. When the doctor in the hospital spoke to me I would try to tell him how I feel to be then interrupted and told how I feel by him. I take sertraline now and that's all I take. Like I said when I posted here months ago, where I live mental health is not looked after appropriately.
Currently I am back working, but becoming more distant with people everyday.
