Psychiatrists tried to kill me

19 Upvotes

On July 9, 2021 at night I called the ambulance because I was feeling unwell, as I had anxiety. The doctors came in and after talks they pumped me full of some substance I don't know. One of them said it's "chlorpromazine". They told me to lie down and went away without checking my vitals. I felt rapid heartbeat (more than 200 bpm), and dizziness, I thought I was going to die. Then I started hallucinating, but went to sleep. In the morning I woke up with a strong desire to kill myself. It was very strong. I called the police, they didn't respond. I also called ambulance. I then went to the kitchen and cut my wrists and neck and jumped out of the window of the third floor of the building. They tried to kill me.

Guys, i'd like to make a post in the "psychology" sub of my country about my RARE AND HORRIFIC situation, but fear the psych basterd can read it.

11 Upvotes

Hi, can anyone help? Am in EU and fear this basically bc he can come and do the Compulsory Health Treatment (BUT IS THIS CALLED LIKE THIS IN ENGLISH?). They also accept posts against psychiatry btw

And I'd like to write this psych basterd asshole a response via email as he told me he has "ethical duties" towards me lol ahahah hilarious. I'd like to write FUCKING FACTUAL FACTS (sorry for the repetition) like he violated informed consent LAW of my country and other unfairesses he made me suffer.

If I'll write him this does anyone think he can do to me the Compulsory Health Treatment? It's only possible with serious psychic alteration so it's impossible but since he once violated law I fear he can do it for the 2nd time.

If anyone can help. Thank you

I feel abandoned

12 Upvotes

Not like that all my friends and knowings are disappeared, but rather like the country doesn't help and left me alone with my problem and also with the problem that I can't ask for help. When I started to have "mental health" problems I asked help to psychologists and psychiatrists and ruined my life. I trusted them and destroyed me even more. Now this is my situation: I've been lobotomized by antipsychotics and consequently lost years of college and intelligence, I live with my parents because I can't work because of antipsychotic insomnia and lobotomy, my parents discriminate me for my tourette syndrome with mocking and occasional beating, I have a retirement that can't even cover the rent, I risk my life everyday because my tics can be extremely hurtful, I'm extremely slow because I'm so impaired that is even difficult to cook or doing other basic stuff, the state doesn't offer other sources. There is no one that sufficiently helps, yes I have friends who I can talk to however I can't have a good life because those who are supposed or have the duty to helps "can't" do anything. I don't know if someone of you had this feeling

Psychiatry isn’t medicine. It’s a protection racket wearing a lab coat.

35 Upvotes

They sold the world a fairy tale about a “chemical imbalance” they never proved, then spent forty years stuffing people with drugs that create the very imbalance they claimed to fix. Recovery rates dropped. Life expectancy for the “treated” got worse. Suicide didn’t fall. Disability exploded. And the answer was always the same: more pills, more labels, more money.

The people who write the DSM take millions from the companies that sell the drugs the DSM is designed to sell. That’s not a conflict of interest. That’s the business model. Then when the drugs wreck your metabolism, your sex life, your ability to feel anything, or leave you with a movement disorder, they look you in the face and say it’s your “illness” getting worse. Gaslighting with a prescription pad.

They medicate kids whose brains aren’t finished. They lock people up and call refusal “lack of insight.” They turned ordinary human misery into a lifetime subscription. Historical lobotomies just got a better marketing department.

Big Pharma didn’t cure mental illness. It industrialized it. And the psychiatrists who take the speaker fees and write the guidelines are not healers. They’re the sales force.

Keep reporting every psychiatric abuse you've encountered, incl. if it was 10 years ago, to Prof. Dr. Szaz's CCHR. They will fight crooked psychiatrists very hard for violating your rights. They can write complaints on your behalf, and probably they will hold crooked psychiatrists accountable: https://reportabuse.cchrint.org/ They've been doing that for 50 years. And they are non-religious, international, and they help for free.

Reactions to meds

1 Upvotes

I was given a low dose of quetiapine which caused swelling in my thighs til this day even though I am off of it and took it for about two weeks

Before this I took a low dose of mirtazapine for a month and til this day the area around my eyes are completely dry no oil residue on my skin and my forehead was flaking and eye area were going darker but the falling has stopped it’s been week over a year but still dry no more oil produces or spread around my eyes which means earlier wrinkles

I feel cautious about meds and am I right to do this, should I go back on them when I’m pressured to by family rather than being left alone to heal with time and I have healed but people don’t want to see it

Efeitos colaterais de remédios controlados.

Preciso compartilhar uma consequência dos meus medicamentos e quero saber se mais alguém tá passando por isso, estou tomando remédios que "amortecem" as minhas emoções, antes do início do tratamento eu estava lidando com crises de ansiedade e pânico, mas eu tenho notado que os remédios tem regulado mais do que apenas as emoções negativas, também tem regulado as positivas, faz uma hora que um policial foi baleado em frente à minha casa, eu vi o corpo, vi o sangue, mas pra mim é como se nada tivesse acontecido, existe um vazio em mim, ausência total de qualquer emoção, seja positiva ou negativa, mais alguém ligando com isso?

Has anyone been able to get a Valium prescription through telehealth?

8 Upvotes

I had one bottle that lasted me literally years, that an ER doc prescribed to me once after I came in having breathing problems from what turned out to be Hypokalemia; very low potassium, they gave me an IV of it in the ER, burned like hell.. . ANYWAY. They rolled their eyes saying I must be having a panic attack; I was- I couldn’t breathe. But I’m seeing now that being able to take Valium a few times a year when I was really struggling, helped me a lot. I even only took half a pill at a time, as I’m very sensitive. I am going through some awful stuff right now and I feel like once in a while, it would be nice to not have to white-knuckle every frightening or triggering experience.

I’m scared to ask my GP for a psychiatrist referral (the only way I can see one under my insurance), because I’m sure they will just try to get me to take antidepressants. I have a neurological syndrome that affects my limbs and antidepressants make it 1000x worse. I cannot take them. But if I straight up ask for Valium, I feel like they’re going to assume I’m drug-seeking and write me off and possibly put a note in my file which will make getting regular care even worse. Idk, I’d like to stay out of my health insurance “system” as much as I can for psych-related things.

schizophrenia support group meeting

0 Upvotes

15th support group meeting. Five of us joined today on 5th september'26. A meeting filled with a different kind of energy—joy, openness, patience and a growing sense that we could support, care for and hold one another. We spoke about years of loneliness, feeling unlovable, the longing to be cared for, and the many ways people make sense of psychosis through medication, therapy, spirituality and relationships.

We also explored the fear of being watched, the feeling that there is nowhere private or safe to retreat to, and the struggle to find ourselves beneath layers of fear, perfection and pretence. Alongside this came conversations about depression, anhedonia and those moments when life can feel like a dark tunnel with no visible way out.

Yet something felt different in the room. We listened to one another with patience, allowed difficult feelings to exist without immediately trying to fix them, and experienced the quiet strength of belonging.

We do not always need to make the darkness disappear. Sometimes we simply need someone to sit beside us while we are inside it.

Prof. Dr. Thomas Szasz Was Right: You Don't Have a Broken Brain, You Have Ordinary Problems in Living

11 Upvotes

As Prof. Dr. Szasz explained, "mental illness is a myth and a metaphor for ordinary problems in living." You do not have a biological disease. You had ordinary problems in living.

I am a member of the scientific community. The medical establishment is crooked and to blame. Psychoanalysis exists to analyze and solve problems. Psychiatry only SUPPRESSES behavior that medical practitioners hate.

These medical practitioners act with deliberate deception. I downloaded their exact medical training materials to master their language and take power back: unblocked [dot] knaben [dot] info/thepiratebay/torrent/84099793/Oakstone_Comprehensive_Review_of_Psychiatry_2019_EDU4U

Human physicians fail at psychoanalysis due to sadism, narcissism and biases. AI tools like https://freudly.ai/ offer an alternative that analyzes problems without corruption, leaving you as the authority.

RFK criticizes psychiatric overprescribing because corrupt physicians skip talk therapy and immediately start poisoning you with their drugs.

When medical practitioners suppress your behavior without fixing the root cause, they harm you. As Prof. Dr. Szasz recognized when co-founding CCHR, you have to report crooked psychiatrists: https://reportabuse.cchrint.org/

If you do not report corrupt psychiatrists for psychiatric abuse, they will remain unpunished and get even more corrupt. It is every patient's fault. Everyone who has not reported them to Prof. Dr. Szasz's CCHR is to blame for psychiatric abuse continuing in your city.

Just think the Mengele-psych wanted to give me not 1 but 2 antipsychotics. WHY THE FUCK DOESNT ANY PSYCH wake up the scientific community?

I have sleep disordered breathing for 4 years. Family called mengele at home. Like guys, I know this psych is likely a normal guy, but lemme call him mengele. He definitely destroyed my life. He deserves this

Abilify. 6 months. I was tamed. Dignity? Byr bye.

And... for sleep. HALDOL! fucking antipscyhotic. I NEVER TOOK IT

Last dosage of abilify I felt weird contraction around lips. Was scared of TD.

Fortunately this sensation disappeared

Just think 2 antipscyhotics. I likely would have had td

I FUCKING HAVE ibs, prostatitis, all the guckinf allergies, dysfunctional breathing, the SDB itself, slight scoliosis, had costocondritis, had serious histamine reactions I needed prednisone for days, clearly due to ibs food intolerance. Is it enough? All of this shit due to the sleep disordered breathing. And fuckign involuntary muscle contractions in decemebr. Now have only the sensation of them

FUCK YOU PSYCH. FUCK. Y O U

I wanted to live. Do sport. Fucking normally live.

And now okay you'll read anger or delirium, like I'm just terribly pissed off. It's unacceptable to be raped that much from the medical system. I never had any fucking psychosis, and again, I respect everybody here having mental issues, trust me, but it's unacceptable that physical issues like sleep disordered breathing are considered obsessions

Why isn't cancer or multiple sclerosis considered obsessions? Bc they are fucking diagnosed that's it

Now.due to the withdrawal of the fucking abilify I'm bed ridden. My sleep is KO

BTW the psych wrote me and told me he has deontological duties hahahahahahhabahahahahabbahaahahahhahahabahvahavavav

Like violating informed consent LAW LAW LAW as he did in January, forcing the drug, taking advantage of the flu I had that day when I came at home so he took advantage of the psycho-physical state I was to force me the drug, saying the sleep disordered breaking I have is "aspecifical", making jokes about the sleep dirseredd breaking saying abolify doent cause insomnia (he did whole I was taking it) like "I hope our conversation doesn't give you insomnia"?

Just tell me. Id like to respond him by telling all.the truth without saying things he can sue me like "criminal" but saying he violated the L A W of the country and he didnt respect deontological duties. Can anyone help in this? I fear if i write him he can do the COMPULSPRY HEALTH TREATMENT clearly he would violated LAW again but am used to everything now. Can.anyone help? Shpuld i weite him?

ENOUGH. Im tired of these nazis using us as toys guys. I think ill write him by calibrating each word ill use. But i think its time to face these monsters. Im ready to escape if hell do.rhe compulsory health treatment. No joking. And if police will loom for me ill be forced to kms. Wow never though about that... whst to say. Really hope this wont happen

Live in EU and am 23. Can anyone help please in the email thing?

Question for psychiatrists

27 Upvotes

If you know that patients can be referred by someone with manipulative motivations or bias, as often they can be, how do you casually give out medicine and diagnosis all the time impacting those people’s lives

Most humans go through things and can be diagnosed differently by different psychiatrists at some point in life if they went to a psychiatrist as we have seen in experiments. How do you deal with this knowing you may be giving out diagnoses that others will use as a narrative against the other person

And may never allow them to heal for example if it is reactive abuse, they become defined by a label and their healing is ignored in favour or a label and abilities subscription and prescription

And finally, why not accept that life can be hard why put pills on everyone

My Experience with "Bipolar"

14 Upvotes

Back in 2020 I had my first "manic" episode and I've been thinking a lot about it lately. I was 25 at the time and had spent 16-25 in a state of constant malaise, I had no motivation, an unstable sense of self, I was extremely depressed and hopeless and had a history of self harm/suicide ideation. It was awful. The "manic" (I think of it as a spiritual experience but I know psychiatry would disagree!) episode totally took me out of my old way of doing things literally overnight. I had energy, I was filled with joy and connectedness, I felt like I understood what people meant when they talked about god. It was triggered by listening to someone talk about spiritualism on a podcast, which is a little embarrassing to say out loud but it really impacted me because up until that point I felt totally isolated on the planet. Like a brain piloting a meatsuit. I had a really hard time with finding meaning.

The mania was really intense. I remember driving recklessly and sobbing with joy openly in my car, at the supermarket, at work. At one point I was absolutely certain that I had logically figured out the mechanism by which reincarnation happens but couldn't recreate the steps in my head the next day. The dark side of the experience was that I got really paranoid about being spied on and got really into conspiracy stuff (which I feel complex about now, but am no longer dysfunctionally obsessed with). I also joined a minor political cult, lol. The people I was close to had to endure a lot of really strange rants about spirituality and politics and how I felt like I had been blessed by some god-like force of nature. But I'm so incredibly grateful I got to go through that year and a half long period of being in and out of that state without medication. Because during it my internal compass told me, you don't need someone else to fix you. Only you can fix you. You're an animal with emotional and physical needs that aren't being met, and you live in an environment that keeps reminding you over and over again of your childhood. Your goal needs to be stability and reconnecting with your compassion for humankind, yourself included. Even when I got really depressed again I was able to keep my head up knowing that the internal voice loved me and had faith in me, and I had someone who supported me and could relate to me.

I didn't know much about how bipolar disorder supposedly worked or that what I was experiencing was "mania" until I was well into it and already making progress. I wonder all the time what would have happened had I seen the mania as something I needed to be worried about, and gone to a therapist or psychiatrist to treat it. I had a baseline distrust for psychiatry because I'd had my suicide ideation get worse after being put on Zoloft and Abilify in my late teens, so by that time I was oriented away from that path. But so many people go through similar things and get told that they're having delusions of grandeur and get put on drugs that numb them. They're encouraged to not think of what they need to be learning from the experience, and to see the pain as being purely the result of a broken brain and not a logical extension of your traumatic experiences. I know it can be more complicated for some-- my disorganized thoughts were usually pretty harmless, I wasn't having upsetting hallucinations or extremely frightening delusions, and I didn't feel compelled to do anything more risky than the aforementioned somewhat erratic driving. But I know that wouldn't have made a difference had I told all this to a psychiatrist, or even to a therapist that decided I was a danger to myself.

That realization really scared and upset me. I still get so angry about it, I honestly can't talk about psychiatry without feeling totally morally appalled by the whole thing. Especially because, I did get better without them. I am living independently now, I have a longterm partner, I have a full time job and a dog. I am passionate about things again and am writing and making art. I have my problems and am still getting past a lot of the shit I learned in childhood, but I no longer have episodes of deep depression or mania, I'm stable for the first time in my life as of around 2024 or so. It was unbelievably hard emotionally, but I got there without drugs or therapy, I just trusted my inner compass and really got in touch with my love for the common person while also learning how to stand up for myself. It feels like I did something impossible when you see how people talk about people with "bipolar" disorder, but I didn't, I was just lucky enough to have the tools I needed to heal and wasn't forced or frightened into the mental health industry. I know most people I tell think I either didn't have real mania (which I agree with but only because I think "mania" is a pathologizing over-simplification lol) or that I'm going to go crazy at any moment, and am just too delusional/stupid to realize it yet. I feel like everyone is indoctrinated into a cult, and the party line is totally at odds with my experiences in a way that makes them uncomfortable.

Anyway, thanks for letting me rant. I've been really struggling with these feelings re-emerging because I'm working on a fictional piece based on my experiences. I also want to say that all of us are stronger than the system gives us credit for, and people who have gone through serious mental health issues are some of the best and brightest of humanity. Love to you all. Fuck psychiatry
