Taken advantage of

I have been taken advantage of in a way I may have asked for while unwell or in a way that I don't know what to do anything about. I can't see a positive outcome. I went to the hospital to get help and found it unhelpful as they just want to focus on one thing. People screamed from the seclusion rooms and I regretted going in their completely.

Oh my.

It sounds like you have endured a lot.

I know it must be tough but you did seek help when you felt unwell so you do have the capacity, insite and desire to heal.

Start small, talk to a friend you trust, but be honest about what you are feeling. Don't sugar coat or BS.

Then seek out a pro, or a 12 step group, or an online Therapist, or an actual therapist.

You are very vague in your confession, maybe ask yourself why that is?

Vague output gets vague input.

Be brave, be honest, and talk to someone who you know has your best interest at heart.

And ask yourself, that one thing the hospital wants to focus on may infact be the key to addressing the other things.

And lastly, if you are bothered by hearing people in pain at a hospital, do go there unless you are in real danger.

Their pain is as real as yours.

My first choice for medical help

is a naturopath or herbalist rather than the slice & dice hospital scene. Yea if you have a broken bone you go go to the E.R. but nowadays many progressive medical doctors are saying to be careful with their pill pushing colleagues

I only go to the hospital for Tim Hortons coffee.
That's as much as I can take of that place.
Closest Timmy's around my neck of the woods.
Don't judge me.
Bahah

It’s so hard

I sense that you’re talking about mental health. I can relate to the dilemma you speak of. Reaching out is extremely hard because we live in the dark ages still, when people still judge others for admitting that they’re not okay. When realistically a huge majority of humans experience these same feelings at one time or another. Some people have had to cope with terrible trauma in their lives and that is not their fault. Being brave enough to acknowledge that vulnerability and ask for help is SO hard! And when you don’t get the help you’re asking for it feels like such a betrayal. Forgive me if I’m misreading your confession. But if I’m not please just know that lots of us understand and have experienced this same sad experience. It makes it so much harder to reach out for help when you are treated so badly when you do. Please don’t give up. I feel that we’re on the cusp of a greater understanding of how normal mental health struggles are for so many people, and that means that it will hopefully be easier to access the help we so desperately need.
