Sufferer Monster In My Head

New Here
I was 15 years old when my parents signed me into a mental hospital in upstate new York, All the doctors there said I was schizophrenic and locked me away, real reason was I did LSD a number off times and my parents thought I was a drug addict, go figure huh.

Well they locked me up with very sick people who really did belong there and these same sick people were also very dangerous. They were violent to everyone, I was always being attacked in some form or another, during waking hours as well as when I tried to sleep, that is when the most violent on attacks happened, so I learned from early on to always scan for danger, between the violence from the other patients there was a certain violence from the staff as well, so I was constantly molding myself into something that I was not just to survive.

Then the doctors then started me on a therapy program known as diabetic coma therapy with electroconvulsive shock therapy, they did this for three months then it was off to massive drug therapy, I spent a little over two years in that hell hole, when I came home I was a Frankenstein with all the missing parts, two failed marriages, some real drug problems as well as explosive anger.

I had always worked a full and a part time job just to quiet the crazies in my head, then no job due to injuries and this monster in my head is bigger and meaner and I gotta stop him once and for all.

Therapy has improved a lot in the last 10 years, and a lot in the 10 years before that, too. Suggest you take a look at current options.
 
Just going to say welcome.

And you're not alone.

It's tough reading your intro as it brings back my own "stuff" that I never really dealt with.

I'm so sorry for all you've endured. You're in a healing place here and I hope you find much support. :hug:
