LAUGHING NO MORE
April 26, 2021
So i saw him again today, my boss. Same meeting. I did not laugh this time. I learned my lesson. I kept quiet like he’s used to. But I wore my new shirt “We’re all mad here”.
I just wrote a huge post in response—but didn’t hit post! I will rewrite it tomorrow!
M,
Your frustration and effort to walk this path is obvious. Brave soul—examining what you are going through as you go through it!
I think it is messy, the mental health system. It is hard to be diagnosed around people who are working to help your diagnosis without feeling like all you are is the diagnosis and not a whole person. I experienced that too. It felt like every move I made was proof to staff that their diagnosis was right. But I now see that as just part of the whole situation.
Psychiatry is all about “diagnosis “ and treatment. Especially medical psychiatry. It’s a difficult environment if you are more attuned to say, Buddhist psychiatry.
Not sure the answer—but it is always good to see the big picture and to try not to take things personally. (Something I have real problems with!)
Soldier on, M! Stay brave and curious!
I love this humour:) (the shirt at the meeting)
