Hello @Historylover I've been meaning to bring this up. Saturn the planet of cold hard lessons, karma and brutal reality has been in the 7th house for Virgos. I'm not good enough in astrology to know how long this has been but its a slow transiting planet and the 7th governs partnerships of all kinds, both marriage and professional as well as people you consult like a psychiatrist for example.
It was retrograde since mid June and we have been reviewing all these murky waters to do with painful lessons governed by the 7th house. So my guess is a lot of it has been going on for you as well as me.
I am not in the least bit surprised by you account of what has happened to you with Saturn bobbing there. Its now gone direct but we still have saturn there
I have personally encountered a lot of questionable clinicians and have seen what goes on in hospital settings. Theres a lot of human rights abuses and nobody is believed. I mean we had the Royal Commission into mental health to try and uncover these abuses several years back but it was pure lip service. Now its been shelved.
The kindest thing you can do to someone who has been placed in the mental health system is to just "listen" The ONLY person who did that for me was a young social worker in Larundel in the 1990's. She had to fight for my case at a time when there was much medical dominance in psychiatry and allied health was kind of dismissed as a lame treatment methodology but still there operating in some capacity.
In her office I found comfort from the horrible sterile and dark nature of the ward that had windows that barely let the light in. I was allowed to leave the ward with her accompanying me otherwise I was under constant observation. Her office was filled with plants, nature and all kinds of beautiful things. It was my respite. I used to love going to her lovely office and she just listened to me without judgement. It served as my escape valve to get things off my chest. It was sanity.
I sense you need this too. I accept what you have to say. You may not have a mental illness, I don't know. There have been many cases of misdiagnosis. I wouldn't worry too much about what they have said in your patient file. I was comforted by one nurse who told me they are just other peoples opinions. I did get my files under Freedom of Information many years ago to read at an appointed time and had to laugh about what they said about me. So please dont worry. You know who you are, just let these insults to your sense of self roll off your back
Wanted to say there is one setting run by people in Melbourne who are anti-psychiatry who provide non pathologising care for trauma by just listening to someone and being there for them. I think its called Alt2Su and its run by survivors who don't accept the medical model. You may be able to meet friends there who understand what you have been through. I don't want you going it alone and being in distress anymore. You now have this injection to deal with on top of that.
I was divorced from psychiatry for a period of 10 years and was living a happy life until I got back into the system with diabetes and required psychiatric medicine management. I have since hooked up with lots of people online who have been seriously harmed and are now outspoken advocates. I was surprised at what went on. There were people who had it worse than me. When I was phoning potential psychiatrists locally I encountered one who looked like a butcher and another who I spoke to was only treating return soldiers and I could sense she was abusing them based on how she acted over the phone. I mean how do you like that?
I hope you will be ok. Just providing some options for you to consider. Please keep in touch with me. I am here for you. I know its no substitute for being there in person but I try as hard as I can.
