The past

Yesterday I went fir a medical and my mental health was discussed to such a degree that I broke down, I can’t remember things that happened in 1977, but what I do know is that the medical profession are judging me on a past that I didn’t understand as a lonely 17 year old, and are making it affect my future, can they not see that I am here, i survived , I am strong, independent and wise, I am me, who chooses to cope without medication, in order to stay real? Sorry I am ranting, now but this is the only place I can unload, love to all, 💕

Hi there, not sure what you are saying are you saying that they are saying that what ever is wrong with you now has something to do with something that happened in 1977 and you don't recall it?

People grow and evolve! I agree with you and I would like to add something else. If we were suposed to do everything right we would have come to this world with an instructions manual. We are not machines, all we have to do is try to do the best of the future. We all make mistakes. That's something I have to tell myself as well. I'm with you in this Florida. It's hard to hear this things like accusations, they were wrong on doing that and it doesn't help at all.

I wish you all the best, always.

I guess from what you have said that you are in your late 50's early 60's? When I go to therapy I often find the same thing which is mainly from young people. There are other problems associated with aging and living with mental health issues and youngsters, no matter how highly trained, just don't understand. x
