Yeah, I am most likely moving on ASAP. Luckily medication which I started a week ago is already working and I feel way better. That's what I disclosed to them, asked for 30 days to see if my medication helps me stabilize (already doing so) and didn't gave a fuck.

I'm glad things are working out. Mental health crises are a motherfucker of a problem and the way our industry treats them is its own clownfire. Based just on what you've said about your situation: it looks like you were mistreated. I'm glad you've found treatment --- it's hard enough to get that far! --- I know lots of people who it's helped a very great deal. I wish you the best of luck.

Thank you too. Luckily Lamictal and a little of Prozac plus therapy is doing magic. It was sad when they said in my face just they wouldn’t wait and believe I can‘t change.
