Re: Tabaluga's
@Historylover I would try and not mention it if possible. Don't discuss issues that raise controversy. I had someone I knew of online and who had been involved in esoteric circles and was captured by the misguided psychiatric system and was medicated.
He was eventually able to break free by writing many books about his esoteric experiences and the psychiatrist had no choice but to take on his point of view and discharge him from treatment. This man I knew is now big in spiritual circles and runs a spiritual retreat in north east Victoria. It was malpractice on behalf of the psychiatrist.
I think you have to find your own way through but I am concerned about you being on that depot injection for any length of time as it will drain the life force out of you and make you very ill. In my hearing I just came over as credible and as composed as possible knowing what to say and how to say. Just tune into what your higher self is telling you and you can't go wrong. Just come across with sanity and don't forget to take the pills they give you. You can stay out of the psychiatric system successfully as I have for 20 years.
Just letting you know the mental health tribunal would be an unwilling audience with telepathy, they will misconstrue, they just want to see that you and others around you are safe in the community. They are trained to assess people based on parameters. I take my medicines, have insight into my condition but was also stuck in an invidious situation which most doctors would deem as delusional. So I had mental illness + a real life experience that was seen through a diagnostic lens deeming me "unwell". I have tried cutting down pills but my symptoms have returned. I think it may be the same with you. If not you will be sure to find out.
Anyway wishing you the best of luck. They just want a good outcome and will not necessarily see the situation as the same as you as they are looking for anything they can find to deem you as incompetant in terms of taking your meds and living safely for yourself and others in the community.

Re: Tabaluga's
Thanks, @Former-Member. This is all a lot to take in, and how can it be that truth must be so hush-hush, not to be spoken about? (Shhh, someone might hear you).
What sort of world is this?

Re: Tabaluga's
@Former-Member , the thought of depot injections terrifies me. I never thought I would be in this potential position, but I guess those receiving them didn't either. Life has just got a whole lot harder.
