Dear Unconscious Professional,
It is not my problem that once, many, many years ago, you and some others took an institutionalized schizophrenic man off his medications and reparented him and then he went out and shot up a shopping mall. That is not my issue, it is yours. Deal with it.
My issue is that you keep overstepping your boundaries with repeated discussion of medications. That leaves me with no safe place to go. NO MEANS NO. I can't be any more clear. It feels like harassment when you keep revisiting this as something I should consider. It feels sleazy and disgusting. How would you like it if you had been traumatically injured by something and the person you went to with the terror kept suggesting how it might help to reinjure you in the same way? If you would happen to like that, then I suggest you seek immediate profession help. Hopefully, said help would not suggest injuring you in exactly the same way yet again. Even though that's what 'professional help' is known for doing. Even when they say they won't.
Get a clue, won't you?
Sincerely,
Your Very Angry Client
p.s. In case you need help with the meaning, the word 'no' is a negative used to express dissent or refusal. Contrary to the belief of a certain segment of our society, 'no' does not really mean the same thing as 'yes' or 'maybe'. It just means 'no'. Maybe English is the problem? What I've been meaning is...
nein, nee, non, ne, いいえ, nē, 否, and δεν.
Capisci?

I can't tolerate most medications and so many doctors just don't get it. My old doctor put me on Zoloft and when I told him I felt like I was tripping out and imagining that my brain was crawling out of my head he told me "just stay on it." WTF? I hardly think that's a healthy reaction! And I most assuredly did not stay on it.
ReplyDeleteA pill will not necessarily make everything all better. Even though for me Lithium works (and its the only thing that works) it doesn't make things perfect. I still have bipolar manifestations, it's just that I have more times when I feel semi-normal and less times that I'm punching holes in walls! ;-)
I feel ya on this one. Meds are not magic and doctors need to listen.
Hmmm... I'm glad you mentioned the word 'listen'. Perhaps I am on the wrong track. Maybe he understands English and the meanings of simple words just fine. Maybe it's ADD. Probably an occupational hazard. I should suggest that he take something for that. If he says no, I could always keep bringing it up over and over again and maybe wear him down until he submits to what I think is best for him. Also, he says 'could you refresh my memory' a lot. There are pills for that, too. They give people the shits, kill the liver, and cause bleeding problems, but that's too bad. Him not having a perfect memory makes me uncomfortable, so he should take them anyway. Every few weeks or so I'm going to remind him of that.
ReplyDeleteNo means No.
ReplyDeleteHe's got to respect that. It is serious.
Youu are right; he is projecting his own crap. He needs to deal withh it.
Send the song to your T. Seriously aren't Ts supposed to teach you (us) to set boundaries? Why won't they honor them?
