Codac has pushed me beyond the limits from which I can rebound without assistance. Having my "psychiatrist" rail at me was horrible, but having my case manager saying that the ART (Adult Recovery Team) meeting hurt her feelings was lubricious. It made more sense when I found out that Codac hired her right out of college and all of her "experience" is the 5 years she's spent with Codac. You want to know why mental patient go off and start shooting people? Places like Codac put them in a situation where they are willing to do literally anything to make the pain being inflicted by that agency stop. I've started hallucinating again.

I just hope they will put me back in the hospital until I can get stable again.

Let them know what you take, please! www.facebook.com/CODACTucson

Sitting in my therapist's waiting room

wait, now I've decided that I'm a hypochondriac instead...

I don't know if I'm getting better or just used to the pain....

I finally started individual therapy!!

Denial tears loved ones apart

Who likes a chronic illness?? We would like to be included in health coverage as all other chronic illness is. Mental health parity.

Know it very well and it is not easy to be a witness to. Still one of the most misunderstood aspects of life.

Don't be afraid to seek help. Life is too precious to waste because of fear. Be good to yourself.

as some of you know I've been raising hell trying to get Codac to provide me with therapy, last week I just didn't show up for my court ordered weekly check-in; so, yesterday someone came to my house and asked me to come in today so they can consider taking me off of court ordered treatment.

Hubs & I discussed how I felt Religion hides undiagnosed mental illness. Concerns bring questions to our personal beliefs.

When you understand mental illness it is easier to understand others.

I didn't show up for my appointment with my case manager today (court mandated once a week); we'll see what happens tomorrow.

I found a website called "patients like me" I'm hoping it will be more help than Codac

Don't ever let on that you have one. People will stop taking you seriously, they will discount your thoughts and opinions, and any unpleasant feelings you have will automatically be chalked up to your illness, so you'll always feel like it's totally your own fault if things aren't going well for you. Will I get a turn at 'normalcy' before I expire? Haven't had one so far in 33 years...even if I didn't know it at the time.

There was this man in a mental hospital.
All day he would put his ear to the wall and listen.
The doctor would watch this guy do this day after day
So the doctor finally decided to see what the guy was listening to,
so he put his ear up to the wall and listened.
He heard nothing.
So he turned to the mental patient and said,
"I don't hear anything."
The mental patient said,
"Yeah, I know. It's been like that for months!"

It seems that most people are terribly uneducated about this topic. Because of this, many mentally ill people are treated callously and with little understanding or respect. It hurts our feelings. www.nami.org has lots of info on mental illnesses and how they affect our selves, friends, and families. Check it out.

Learning more about it each day! :)
