have there been repercussions, or are you just worrying that there will be?
you sounded so positive about your experiences, it is a shame for you to have this kind of furious hindsight.
i know that it is almost like having a police record to have been hospitalized. it both opens doors and closes them. but you do have medical privacy about that. you don't have to reveal it to too many people.

and as far as the pros involved, they know this, but they just can't think that way. their job is to get people better, period, and not let anything get in the way. to not treat someone as you think they ought to be treated out of fear of stigma would be quite wrong.
i don't know why you were "handled" the way you were. do you understand why? maybe you should see if you can find that out if you don't.
