I was ousted from a mental health care treatment that was only available at a few places, I waited for two years to get in...

The therapist assigned to my case ended up having something happen in her personal life, had her own mental breakdown at work, and decided she didn’t want me there anymore because “People like me killed her friend” (?????? No idea). She went in and changed my files to show absences when I was actually there.

The absences caused me to get kicked out, which I appealed. They found security camera footage that showed I was there and that my therapist had lied. She was confronted by her boss and admitted to altering my files.

I was offered my place back, but they refused to tell me if she had been fired or not. I no longer felt comfortable, and it was now clear that my mental health was not as important as their bureaucracy. So I didn’t go back.

It was honestly so heartbreaking. I felt completely used by mental health professionals twice my age who had promised to help me, and then perpetuated more abuse....where I was supposed to feel safe. I took the book they gave me and I’ve been trying to do it myself.

It’s been slow going, but I feel better. I’m not where I’d be if I’d gone back, but I know that I won’t be taken advantage of by “mental health professionals” anymore.

This is only one shitty experience I’ve had at the hands of mental health care workers....some of the most sociopathic individuals work in psychiatry, and there’s no accountability for them because their patients are already crazy. No one believes us.
