I am disappointed, I have worked so hard to remain strong and keep my mental health in a place of positivity
But this system is breaking me as I am constantly held to their judgements and assumptions it feels like captivity
I am saddened because desperation got the better of me at one point and I reached out for support in hopes they would aid
But honestly they have only left me feeling worse as my dignity and self identity has been neglected and sadly that's where it all cascades
What is harder is the lack of communication, besides no compassion they fail to explain and give a chance for me to be in the know
Their methods aren't therapeutic, stripping someone of basic human rights is not supportive to recovery, it doesn't bring growth
What's truly concerning is their inability to treat a person with integrity but make the environment so distressing that medication they will need
I have worked so hard to sustain my headspace with out relying on medicine so its sad to be told we will make it so hard that you will need drugs in here to succeed
The notion to be seen and heard is the foundation of healing so why is this the very thing that is first neglected?
If people working in mental health can't see that value, how is anyone else going to instill it how is hope for recovery detected?
I have never felt so broken by anything but the bounds and restraints these "helpers" have held to me
So I will endeavour to survive this awful prison because I know when I get out I will be no longer contained by your actions but I'll walk away free
