A.k.a. how fucking useless they all are? The only thing mental health care providers have ever done for me is make me feel like they’re exploiting my mental illness as an expendable source of income. 0% helpful. 100% scam. And yet everybody swears by them while I am absolutely convinced that the mental health services are pseudoscience. They don’t give a SHIT about me unless Iām paying. And then they have the audacity to take the $200 I managed to scrape together to try and get some real help, and tell me to fix it myself. Fuck all of you, I hope you all burn in hell with every one of your patients who have committed suicide because you were too selfish to actually help them. God.

I hear you-while I won’t say the whole mental health field is bad/useless, my own experience was like yours. Towards the end of high school I was pretty depressed, I was at my wits end so I decided to see a psychotherapist. I read a lot of psychology and it turned out I knew about as much as my therapist and she complimented me on that fact.
I did ten sessions, where I’d pretty much do all the talking and she listened. She’d maybe speak for a couple of minutes and that was about it. I also felt it was a big waste of time but not entirely. It was good to have someone listen to some of my deepest darkest issues/anxieties and be supportive. I wasn’t “transformed” or “cured” by any stretch. I realized after that it was up to me to fix myself which meant I had to fix my life-all the problems that were causing me to be depressed.
Did it help? A bit-I’d still recommend it to others since they’d get more out of it than I did. But people shouldn’t go into thinking it’ll turn their life around. I’m glad I did it so that I know what the process was about and to know at least I tried that route. But at the end of the day-as mentioned above I think we need to make changes in our lives to find the happiness we seek-no one else can do that for us.
Totally agree. People push mental healthcare as the magic solution and then when we kill ourselves anyway they blame us for not wanting to get better. The truth is these pills and useless therapy sessions are designed to keep us at a constant level of depression as long as we keep paying.
Yeah, it made me want to die like 1000x more, to be honest. But I’ve already been intent on killing myself since 12.5 years of age. Anyway, I guess being in a mental hospital proven to hasten suicide instead of loiter. I just can’t wait to be dead š
I think I might kill my self this week. I don’t know if my plan will work. I don’t have the best method. I honestly would have been dead (thank god) 11-12 months ago but I have had DUI and car taken away for 13 months. So I can’t get to place I need to go to jump off cliff. Therefore I have to stay and watch the retards. I was planning on getting my license back this month the 16th or whatever, but apparently I can’t get it back because it would cost 400$. I’m like shit, now I just have to continue being miserably invisible until I can get the government to pay me 1000$. So I was looking forward for the last 10 months to get my license back so I can drive to cliff and jump off. Now I can’t get it back so I might just overdose with alcohol and an anti-naseau. Anyway was gonna say, I never harmed myself before being in “mental hospital” now I slam my head as hard as I can against the wall regularly
For example, my third hospital stay. They said nothing to me for the 28 days I was in the hospital. The three things they said to me
1. This is the he-she
2. You can’t use the phone (they were on an ego trip)
3. Doctor announces to whole room of 15 people I am getting an anti-pregnancy shot
Then they send me a bill for 17,000.
I’m like none y’all did shit the entire time I was there except sit at a desk and act like retards
And I was raped there while on a sleeping pill. Win-win situation.
I think if the general public knew the extent of it they would be aghast. Just all the patients dying all the time from being medicated. All the patients getting fatter, uglier, more zombie-like. Calling it mental “health” is an insult.
I have more respect for a street pusher dealing illicit drugs than I do for medical psychiatry. At least the pusher is honest about their business.
Yep. I saw a stat that said psychotropic drug deaths out number heroin deaths by better than 50%.
You know what real help would be? Providing a fucking peaceful way out
You’re about right, at least for my experience. Try spending about CAD$10,000 (yes, the amount is reasonably correct) talking to 5 counsellors and a psychologist, trying to keep sane coping for 15 years with what was commonly described as depression, talking with my doctor at my wits ends and basically begging for assistance (and a hospital visit out of desperation) who maintained a depression diagnosis, finally being referred to a psychiatrist who, after hearing everything I described to I) the counselors and ii) my doctor–finally and wrapping his head around things amended the diagnosis to me being on the ASD spectrum.
There isn’t a word in my vocabulary that can adequately describe my ongoing struggle. Its all been me, I don’t have family to fall back and live in both mental and physical isolation. I don’t get any of the money back. Instead however I get to continue to struggle whilst maintaining the incurred debt which I’m paying off with my now LTD. And it still, as always and as always it has been, falls back on me in terms of “being responsible for “me” ” despite my regular attempts and cries for help and diligence to seek it and get it.
Do I desire to contribute any more money to a mental health “professional”? I’ve learnt that at least in my case they’re absolutely useless with the exception to the psychiatrist, and seemingly unable to identify where their patients needs fall outside of their expertise.
As lostallhope001 pointed out, it would have been more helpful to offer a way out.
Even as I struggle to live on I still wonder why I get less respect than a dog when it comes to end of life. I live, at least for now, largely because that is what is supported legally. I hope all the law makers are pleased with their life enforcement programs here in the U.S.
