I wasnt aware that a retail store could have a jail. He said that if I were in the hospital when my court case came up, the judge would probably throw the case out of court. He drove me to the hospital. It was clear to me that the whole succession of events had happened because I was in public disgrace. My father called.

There was only a small space to record daily events and there are many blanks among the pages. I speculate now about withdrawal akathisia, extreme sleep deprivation, spiritual awakening, deep awareness, empathy and sensory experiencing, an invalidating environment, defensiveness, corruption and spiritual attack. I was contributing.

Time to put up, I began writing… They rode in silence to Fair Oaks Hospital, parents aching for the recovery of a broken child. You must trust us to treat him in the way we know best; otherwise he could be in a mental hospital for the rest of his life. Is what my family encountered truly different, better now than 50 years ago?

A 2018 paper examined FDA data on adverse drug events (ADEs) and found a rate of over 100,000 serious injuries per year. Like Rosie, I became so distressed that my father had me involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital. As far I am aware, there is zero mention of iatrogenesis in the OCD literature.

Eleven years earlier a deeply damaging romantic relationship had coincided with a series of other stressful events and precipitated a manic episode, which then progressed to psychosis once I was trapped in the terrifying environment of the psychiatric ward. That was in fact my second stint in a locked psychiatric ward.

I decided to focus on self-injury this time. The door to talk about self-injury had been opened, and so I walked through it. “I Gretchen didn’t take the cue to move on from the self-injury talk, and kept pushing, and centering the responsibility for my ‘safety’ in others, rather than myself. Right now self injuring is helping.”

Violence may be the unfortunate consequence (one may try to attack the rope) as one gives way to crazy thoughts, and this is when family call in and the police arrive and one is locked up in the mental hospital with most human rights removed, and then given tranquilizer drugs. How did I accomplish this, you may ask?

Even at 17, I had enough awareness to recognize that something was seriously wrong with that experience, that there was something fundamentally flawed in the way we treat people. Russell: At this point, many people are aware that trauma is a major factor that can lead to psychosis. Diving into that research was fascinating for me.

This short story about a train trip shows how the many symptoms of PTSD combine to have a devastating impact to one’s Sense of Self.

But after this event, I started visiting the school counsellor frequently. I started self-harming, just to feel my skin and keep the emotional pain at bay. I didn’t feel my skin or my body much, but I wasn’t aware of this dissociation at that time. Every medical treatment the doctors and hospitals tried on me made me worse.
