Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
You know when things get really bad and you have to be admitted to the hospital I am amazed at the stigma that being mentally ill has ,especially to adults in the hospitals,especially in the E.R..Most times when I have to be admitted its because I emotionally exhaust myself and I can't fight my anxiety anymore.The last time I went to the E.R.first and i had been crying for three days. I was going through a med. change and it wasn't going well.I wasn't being monitored so there was no one to call.I waited and waited while they addressed all the physical issues,they called in the psychiatrist on call she met me up on the ward but three or four hours had past and no gave me anything to help calm me down. When my husband and I walked into the room he sat down and she told him to leave[very nasty].Then she started on me ,I could not believe what was happening.She'd ask me questions and when I'd go to answer her she would throw her hand up in my face and say I didn't make sense.I eventually got up and told her if she couldn't speak to me properly I was going home[still crying].She jumped up and told me she was going to commit me[rubber room]. I sat down she told me to go home and be a responsible parent to my children and go to therapy for my husband,I left more upset then ever terrified to come back but my husband made me.I was admitted and spent two day s getting one fifth of an ativan to help me settle and naturally she spread the word about my so called behavior.I'll kill myself before she ever get her claws in me again.She used her profession to abuse a patient in need.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
In addition psychiatric services at the hospital is a money pit. They are the largest red line in the hospitals budget. Therefor unless you are harmfull to yourself or to another person, you wont get much help at a hospital. Your best bet is a psychotherapist and a doctor who monitors the practice.
It seems cruel but it is a proven helpfully tactic to be used in therapy. Ive been treated equally as harshly and I didn't appreciate it one bit. I had my parents in the hospital and I thought what he was doing was wrong. I had them talk with him, and he did in private... they came out agreeing with the doctor, so what was said obviously made sense.
I doubt she was "spreading the word" about your behavior. She was informing the people and staff on how to handle you. Read Gestalt theories on psychotherapy and you will see the opposite approach to the Carl Rogers approach that is more often used.
There are other people two that have made different contributions to psychotherapy in the humanistic practice. I haven't studied to many of these, for I focused on other people like Erikson, and other's in the humanistic study of psychology.
No its not nice, but sometimes nice is not what we need... I dont like it either, so I am with ya
