Misjudging and crossed lines of communication
In earlier recent posts I was rather harsh and judgemental about certain friends of mine, misunderstanding a lot about my interaction with them. Since things got sorted out, I have discovered even more about the side effects of the horrible medication I was put on in 2008, that the amnesia it caused was even more widespread than I was aware of. My friends hadn't deliberately stopped visiting me, it was a combination of outside forces (including the doctors telling me I was only allowed to have 2 support people for them to deal with regarding my discharge from hospital, then lying to the people I had to leave out and saying that I didn't want them involved, which was unfair), and my then girlfriend saying I had said things that I hadn't (as well as being rude to them herself) because she wanted to get all my friends away from here so she and her lover could steal as much as possible from the house behind my back (while I was in town looking after her 2 kids.
Thankfully, I am not only putting into place things that will hopefully prevent me ever having to go back into a position where I can be put on medication that has proven bad side effects, but I also have a loving partner and friend who will be able to present psych services with a "less restrictive alternative" to hospital, which by law they have to do if it's possible, which is for her to give me the medication instead of my being locked up. I'm also going to go through FOI and get my records from Monash Gender Clinic and Frankston psych services and give my GP a copy of them, and hopefully prove that their diagnosis and medication was detrimental to my health to start with.
I am very sorry I hurt my friends. I will not name them now, as I did not name them when I wrote the previous LJ entries, but they will know who I am talking about.
Hugs
