sharing my fb post from this am- it is time to move past the idea of "mental illness"

12. wow sorry to hear all this

So the tech finally caught up to the symptom. I wasn't trying to imply you neglected her medically, not at all. I was just making a general statement. You obviously did all the right things and got penalized, somewhat, by the lack of an adequate diagnosis for her. I won't get you started about the female-related issues lol, no worries, I get it. That goes all the way to Dr. Freud and his hysteria BS.

If it makes you feel any better about your daughter, my CURRENT shrink is the very first one to really understand my worst symptom, the "emotional rejection-sensitivity" thing (thin skin in layman's language). I've seen shrinks for 20 years now and regular MD's much longer than that, and yes, I can totally get what happened.

Sad to say, it takes an extremely assertive patient to get the best care. That includes forcing, so to speak, the various professionals to talk to each other (eliminate the stove-piping as you say).
