|    Quack psychiatry alert! psychiatrist ign    |

      From: nobody@mixmaster.it              I live in a state where if you are identified as mentally ill you become a       ward of the state and you are FORCED to 'get help' and see a psychiatrist for       the REST OF YOUR LIFE. I had become psychotic due to a manic reaction to a       very strong, little        prescribed MAOI which has fallen in disfavor among psychiatrists. This drug       literaLLY BLEW MY MIND BY BOOSTING three different neorotransmitter chemicals,       and I became extremely euphoric. This took place over many years, and       eventually I had a reaction        similiar to amphetamine psychosis. I was then labeled a 'schizophrenic' and       forced to take neuoroleptics, that made me impotent, and made me feel dead       inside. I was forced to take these meds over and over and over and I always       went of themS. This wreaked        havoc with my brain chemistry. Since I loved the euphoria the maoi gave me, I       took more than I should. I have no one to blamne but myself for that part of       whatever happened to my brain. The neuorleptic medications were forced on me       however, and I think        that I had a rebound psychosises when I went off them, and this happened over       and over for years. Last year I developed a severe sleeping disorder while I       was being kept prisoner in a hospital. When the sleep disorder began, I was       stable and being force        fed medicine under threat of forcible injections. My sleep disorder is       coincidental. It has nothing to do with being 'off' medication. I know that I       am not now slipping into another psychosis. I have no symptoms whatsoever. The       problem I need help with,        is that I tried telling my psychiatrist that I was only getting 2 to 3 hours       of very light non REM sleep per week and he does not beleive me. He is telling       me that I am sleeping and that I am delusional. He is telling me I have sleep       apnia. I know this        is not the case because i am on the internet all night long and most of the       day. If I was falling alsleep in front of the monitor I would know it, and I       am most certainly NOT. I am on SSI, and medicare will not cover sleep       disorders. I have tried to        contact physicians and I am being ignored because I can't pay. I understand       that this is life in the big city but I think i might get some help if       medicare knew how serious my condition is. How can I prove that I am only       getting two to three hours of        sleep? Has anyone heard of this kind of severe sleep deprivation? I saw a       program on the E channel once about celebrity mental disorders and a celebrity       whose name escapes me was said to only get 2 hours of sleep a week before he       finally got treatment.        Is their a website that documents this kind of severe lack of sleep as even       existing? If there is please tell me so I can prove it to my caregivers.              Il mittente di questo messaggio|The sender address of this       non corrisponde ad un utente |message is not related to a real       reale ma all'indirizzo fittizio|person but to a fake address of an       di un sistema anonimizzatore |anonymous system       Per maggiori informazioni |For more info        https://www.mixmaster.it              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
