morgana Posted December 26, 2022 Author Share Posted December 26, 2022 hello if there is anyone out there who finds this useful...i have just come across a face book page which is called "dropthedisorder" its for those who do not want to be labelled with a psychiatric disorder and therefore medicated...also for any women out there who have experienced trauma due to violence committed against them and instead of being given trauma therapy to deal with it are instead being labelled, medicated and so silenced..and therefore not being believed....by having there diagnosis used against them ..... i suggest a really good book to read who will let you see things from a different perspective...its called "sexy but psycho" written by a feminist psychologist..i hope someone finds these resources helpful...cheers morgana. 1 Cipramil 40mg 1996 to Oct 2017 stopped cold turkey Only on Zyprexa from now on : 10mg solid form 1998 to Oct 2017 7.5mg solid form Oct 2017 to Oct 2019 5mg solid form Oct 2019 to Apr 2020 3.75mg solid form Apr 2020 to May 2020 2.5mg solid form May 2020 to Feb 2021 2.5mg solid 3/4 and 1/4 liquid w/ 5mls water 6th Feb 2021 to 2nd Apr 2021 2.5mg 1/2 solid and 1/2 liquid w/10mls water 3rd Apr to 26th Jun 2021 2.5mg dissolved in 25mls of water from 27th Jun 2021 to 22nd Oct 2021 2.5mg 1/2 solid, 1/2 dissolved in 10mls of water from 23rd Oct 21 to 7th Feb 2022 water titrating from 7th Feb 2022 to 13 Aug 2022: 2.2425mg Link to comment

Thanks for the recommendations, Morgana. I have started reading this, it's written by Dr Jessica Taylor. Although it is specifically addressed towards women, so far it seems strongly resonant with my experiences too. (My pet theory there is that my female abusers have always acted out the patriarchal abuse they received from previous generations back onto me).

Makes me sick to my stomach what happened to her. Porter, Tudge and Reynolds are strongly suggestive of deep cultural problems in these power structures that no one deserves to be on the end of.

morgana Posted December 28, 2022 Author Share Posted December 28, 2022 I do not think it matters who we vote for it...as men in the labour party have also assaulted women...both boys and women.....instead of silencing the people who come forward with labels and drugs how about not supporting those who actually commit the abuse...which is not going to basically happen...as its easier to create a mental health system that is designed to control and silence the problem person.....

Moderator hayduke Posted December 28, 2022 Moderator Share Posted December 28, 2022 100%, it's not limited to any political party. Labor are more likely to display some accountability, but I wouldn't bet on it. I like Dr Taylor's tone in that book, it really is time for some table flipping around these norms and systems.

morgana Posted August 2, 2023 Author Share Posted August 2, 2023 Hello I have a question for someone who is more educated than me.... Is it possible for a Psychiatrist to diagnose someone who walks off the street into a Community Mental Health Centre in Australia (Not Pych Hospital against their will due to psychotic episode) but only due to feeling depressed be diagnosed with BPAD (Bipolar Affective Disorder) but only given a Anti depressant for their symptoms? The reason i am asking is because in my notes under the Freedom of information Act i was dianosed with this after seeing a pych doctor only once...and i do not believe they can diagnose someone with this disorder with only one session! can this be possible? any advice would be appreciated thanks Cipramil 40mg 1996 to Oct 2017 stopped cold turkey Only on Zyprexa from now on : 10mg solid form 1998 to Oct 2017 7.5mg solid form Oct 2017 to Oct 2019 5mg solid form Oct 2019 to Apr 2020 3.75mg solid form Apr 2020 to May 2020 2.5mg solid form May 2020 to Feb 2021 2.5mg solid 3/4 and 1/4 liquid w/ 5mls water 6th Feb 2021 to 2nd Apr 2021 2.5mg 1/2 solid and 1/2 liquid w/10mls water 3rd Apr to 26th Jun 2021 2.5mg dissolved in 25mls of water from 27th Jun 2021 to 22nd Oct 2021 2.5mg 1/2 solid, 1/2 dissolved in 10mls of water from 23rd Oct 21 to 7th Feb 2022 water titrating from 7th Feb 2022 to 13 Aug 2022: 2.2425mg Link to comment
DutchMaddy Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Hello Morgana. No not possible in my opinion! Especially if you are in withdrawal. this is terrible. It makes you uncertain and anxious. And is reason to give you more drugs. Keep faith in yourself and who you are! Take care!🌹 1999-2000 1 year Fluvoxamine/Luvox/ stopped CT no witdrawal symtoms maybe 2 days brainzaps 2008-2018 10 years Prozac 30 mg.

morgana Posted August 2, 2023 Author Share Posted August 2, 2023 thankyou @DutchMaddy...it isnt a recent diagnosis...and not happening during my taper.....it was actually a one time diagnoses at the very beginning of my decade's long poly drugging...i do not think they can diagnose someone who they had never met before and with no psychiatric mental disorder history....with Bipolar Disorder.in a 1 time 45min session...i am in the process of digging into my history of drugging by the mental health system...what i have found so far....is that are constantly saying in my medical records that i am not medication compliant but they have omitted all information on Why they were medicating me and the labels they gave me..and so the only label i have found was the very first one i went in voluntarily to a mental health clinic....but was never mentioned to me in over 20 years...i am finding it very interesting....

Moderator hayduke Posted August 7, 2023 Moderator Share Posted August 7, 2023 Sounds like a flimsy claim to a legit diagnosis there, yeah.
