Hospitals do treat people like cattle. If you are admitted, remember: You did not check your civil rights at the door. Only you can be your advocate. You are responsible for you, so take it seriously. You have the right to say no to any or all of it. Be certain you know what they intend to do. All of it. You can request to see a video of the procedure. They are reluctant to allow you to really know because they don't want you to be so frightened that you refuse. The reason I know this is because I've seen them do it to you. Women in labor are treated the worst when they sould be treated the best. They used to do chest surgery on extremely premature babies with no sedative at all, the reason being that a 2.5 pound baby was not expected to have enough functional brain development to feel pain. They sedate them now, the secret got out and parents insisted with lawsuits.

I am really sorry you have been going through this. I really am.You are one tough lady. I don't have emojis on my computer so have a hug.

Crap. So sorry you're going through all this. I'm feeling for you. Feel free to vent here if you need to. Being on Agnostic.com has been a great sounding board and source of support with my own stuff.

I feel so bad that you are having all these problems. I know there is nothing I can do but just hope that your health improves. I have viewed your photos several times and I admire your looks. You are beautiful. Hang in there ....I hope you will get better.

I am sorry to hear that. In reading your posts I would say you have lived quite an eventful life . All incandescent think to say is to strive to find as much joy out of each day as you can ! Legal or not.

Stay strong honey you can beat this

You are obviously a very strong woman. I hope none of the predicted bad things come true but if they do you will still be a special lady.

you've had a run of shitty luck, your luck is due to change.

Very sorry for your situation. Good luck.

When my wife and I separated, my daughter was 6. I did all I could to support them, but at 13, my daughter began to shun me, and my ex refused to do anything, or more likely, encouraged it. She's 20 now and I haven't heard from her in more than a year. I don't wish that kind of disrespect on anyone, but I feel a little better to know I'm not alone. I don't advise anyone to date or marry a bipolar; really, they should be sterilized. And that even includes my daughter.

You're still here. Appreciate the people who do care, and who you care about. Feel the ground beneath your feet. Sending good vibes your way for healing and calm...Bob

Get well soon. Hugs, Kathleen

As a 6 year leukemia survivor I have short term memory loss and other physical issues. You are most welcome to vent at Cancer Sucks/Cancer Survivors. We have other support groups here as well. Sounds like you need to get things out.
