Worry and Working Together
Friday, June 20, 2025
God Bless
I'd like to end today by reminding everyone of the dangers of bad psychiatry and bullshit cbt. I'd like to encourage everyone else who has been affected to seek thier own counseling, and i think at some point someone is going to have to look at mip and Woodruff road for other survivors of bad psychiatry.
Thank you for Viewing
"Behavioral Health Centers"
I'm not exactly smart enough to outsmart 3 psychiatric hospitals, so HOPEFULLY, my counselor is right, that I don't actually have to teach my families about everything. I certainly don't want to teach them about everything. The impression that I get is that they are learning. Because I certainly have no interest in anyone running my healthcare or in being a professional patient. I just get tired of getting hit and the uncertainty and bad communication. Not all of it is me. I certainly have no interest in repeating the past.
I've been a little grouchy. But again, my healthcare has been a little... crazy. So hopefully, someone other then me is figuring out something about my families that will grease some wheels with some of the people that my rough edges are bumping against. Things such as "Bipolar really is bullshit"... we should be kind AND honest AND not manipulative. Direct. To the point. And not waste my time or give my team extra work. Draw out the process. I'm pretty sure they have the drugs covered. Sleep could be better. But the drug part seems pretty well worked out. With any luck, maybe drop one more.
ADHD
ADHD was my first. I have the dreamy subtype, mild. Other people, they have the hyperactive subtype and are much more active than I am. It was originally thought to be almost exclusively male and something that was grown out of. Now we know that those are both false conclusions, though it's more common in males.
There's plenty of resources on the subject, so I won't go into much detail. One of the lesser understood symptoms (per my experience) is Mult focusing: focusing on multiple tasks at once, such as watching tv while working or listening to the radio while working. Sometimes, having stimulation in the background, particularly if you also have CAPD (central auditory processing disorder, which is highly comorbid), actually helps you to focus better rather than more poorly.
Mood Stabilizers
These I saw the least benefit from personally, but they include lamictal, lithium, valproate, Topamax, I think Trileptal and others. I was on almost all of them excluding Topamax.
Amantadine
This one was kinda loopy. Prescribed for brain trauma or cognitive impairment. Boosts dopamine. Can make you hyperfocus like crazy. Everything becomes interesting. Similar to mirapex. Can affect addictive behavior as well. It's all groovy.
Rytr
I found this ai to help me a little with editing. It has generation and summarization, but it's better at tweaking something prewritten. It's called Rytr.
Stubborn
What Spidey tink.
Spidey gonna be doing bedder. Spidey hab new team. Molly in charge. Spidey make it up to de udders layder.
They may not like me very much, but I'm getting what I need. Tired of this. And yes, I care about these people. I do. Otherwise I wouldn't be trying so hard to be nice when I'm obviously not doing well. I'm broke, im alone, a lot of people are pissed. I'm tired of it. I'm in charge of my healthcare now. I'm not having anyone get in my way about getting what I need.

What Spidey Tink...
Glue gno what Spidey tink?? Spidey tink arachnids knot meant to be litigious. Spidey come from long line ob pwoud brown recluses. Hab no knead for deese silly human ideas about whose fault what is.
Love
Some people get confused about the word love. But going back to the roots of Christianity, we're all brothers and sisters, and we all love each other through Christ. So, if I say that I love Elle or Leaves or just about anyone, technically that's true. Some people get hung up on words. They get a little snotty about words and appearances. Other people understand. It's all in your perception. I can love a stranger. Thats what God allows us to do.
The Doctor's Prayer
Our Psychiatrist, who art on call, hallowed be thy fame. Thy shift shall come, thy will be done, in community, as it is in hospital. Give this day our daily meds, and forgive us our boundary violations, as we forgive those who violate against us. And lead us not into medication, but deliver us from inpatient! For thine is the prescription pad, the mood journal, and the diagnosis, forever and ever. Amed.
Monday Service
And the Good Psychiatrist said, let there be diagnoses, and there were diagnoses, and people got pissed off! Can I get a Clozaluiah!?!
AMED!!!
To My Stars
Dear Elle and Leaves,
Positives and Negatives
Positives
- The hospital is trying
- My physical health is still decent
- I have a good cat
- I have a good home and food
- I have some good friends
- I can write pretty well
- I have a diverse team with lots of knowledge
- I have skills
- A lot of lives were saved at that hospital and my family had a lot to do with that
- I have extensive education
- The medication is helping, even if it's not comprehensive
- I care about people, even if I can't show it
- I try to do the right thing.
- I have a good credit score
Negatives
- The hospital doesn't understand DID and occasionally tries to bury it
- The past was difficult
- I still have plenty of flashbacks, dissociation, depression, I still think about death
- I looked up a nurse and texted her
- The hospital had a fit over Hemp products as if that erases everything Prichards did or the hospital did. We engaged in legal threats. But we're working on that.
- People have wronged me and refuse to recognize that fact or apologize and sometimes still try to hurt me.
- I can no longer expect family, the hospital, or the centers to understand an illness that is hard to treat
- I have a very serious illness that few people understand or want to understand
- There are a lot of bitter and angry people regarding the progression of my illness
- No family (partner, kids)
- Prichards and Malacheck were unethical, and I have trouble getting past that
- I have difficulty with recall and staying present (The dissociation)
- I had trouble adjusting to getting off Clozaril
- people push me too hard and fast and violate boundaries pretty regularly
- I have anger issues
Backups
We have the evidence to go to trial if we need to.
Reality
The reality is that I was trying to be the perfect son and I failed. The reality is that we didn't know then what we do now about DID. The reality is that this can't be about vengeance. The reality is that I need to make something positive of this. But with better boundaries that do not include my family or the hospital system choosing my providers for me. Better boundaries that do not include drawing people into my business or allowing them to do as they please.
Strength is about forgiveness and self-reliance, not blame and dependence.
Vengeance
Vengeance is not strength. Forgiveness is strength. I need to forgive. I can't forget, though. I have to remember in order to make sure I don't repeat the past.
I cant keep going back to the hospital. I'm legit worried what they might do. I need to see beyond. I need to decrease the darkness. I need to understand what I CAN do. I keep fading out. And its wearing on people. I need to understand better. I'm getting too focused on the dark. This is getting confusing.
The hospital needs to try harder to coordinate care. They didn't even try.
I feel like I need to set more realistic expectations. Remind people that whatever you call what I have, with the number of hospitals I've been to, there's something seriously wrong. They just don't agree on what it is. Some call it cPTSD, others DID, some insist that they don't believe in either and they want to call it bipolar. But whatever you do or do not call it, it's a serious problem.
I keep trying to think that people want to help. But most of them just want to bury it. They find it amusing at first, kinda novel, then they hate it and want to bury it.
Now I'm no longer Prichard's demon, I'm my families' demon. The one they couldn't fix. There's simply not enough metaphors for this.
They say the definition of insanity (or is it stupidity?) is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. I keep going to the hospital expecting different results. It doesn't make sense.
I can't blame my families. I have to do this independently. Not rely on the hospital so much. Give them some breathing room.
They did such a good job the time before last. I have to hold that in my memory. Try to keep it fresh. I have to hold onto the good. They worked so hard. Elle was amazing. She always looked out for me. I have to remember the good eggs. There's so many good eggs. I have to remember them. But I can't rely on them too much.

Tinking...
I don't know what people think. I don't know exactly how they think my brain or my body works. I know I've spent a lot of time in hospitals. If institutionalization still existed, my life would be a case study. If you think I'm a carefree, party person, think again. That's not who I am. I did try. Multiple careers. Bad communication. I tend to collect jackals. The ones that feed on vigilante justice. I've learned to keep my distance.
