The psychiatric doc conspirated against me


Question Posted Tuesday January 9 2007, 4:19 pm

I needed to get a drivers license psychiatric paper that I can drive and he was very negative, asked me all crazy stuff like my psychosis illness and If I have had a psychosis the last time etc, and I got very scared and pulled up in a corner , and I left them and I sent a sms to the nurse saying the f word and that I hated them, and now I think I have f... up really badly and now I dont feel good I was in a psychosis yesterday and I felt they were conspirating against me, I really need your help!

Apologise my poor English , I am foreign.

Hi,

I have had bouts with mental illness and although what I am about to tell you may not be want you want to hear right now it's the honest truth. The doctor nor the nurse have any reason to conspire against you nor are they doing so.

Part of your illness is believing that people are out to get you and do things to harm you or that are against you. This is a sign that you just are not well right now and need medical help.

The doctor cannot sign any forms entitling you to drive if you are delusional or pose a risk to yourself or other drivers and pedestrians on the road. It's nothing personal, it's following the law and common sense because this doctor will get into trouble (criminal) and be liable for giving you the go ahead to drive.

It's the exact same thing with eye doctors. If they feel someone has vision problems to the point they cannot drive they can put a legal suspension on preventing you from driving. It's not personal, it's about being safe and ultimately, all of this protects you.

The psychiatrist and nurse have to ask you what appear to be weird questions to you to gauge what your delusiions may still be. They want to see if you are having weird thoughts, voices etc and things you ought not to experience if well but will if you are in need of help.

Bottom line: they're out to make you well, not conspiring to put you in the hospital. If you are hearing voices, think people are appearing in your room and then vanishing or there are strange shadows, blobs or people melting or evaporating etc it's signs you have a problem. You may be relapsing here and not knowing it.

I agree with the first poster that you need medical attentionhaving been in your situation. You see, to you everything appears normal as that's part of the illness. What you are thinking/doing/hearing seems normal to you but not to others as the person with a mental illness needs to see this and will after getting help which i pray you do.

I hate to say it, but I don't think they were conspiring against you. The fact that you had difficulties when you were there, reacted in such a manner, and now think they conspired against you, are all indications that not everything is okay with your mental health right now.

I think you need to talk with them again and discuss what you need to do in order to bring your illness under control, and therefore qualify for your driver's license.

This must all be so scary for you. :( I suggest that, since you admit that you were psychotic yesterday, maybe what the doctor is saying is correct. You need to get your medication taken care of so you can start feeling better and not so out of control. Then you can work on driving and your other goals. If you are stabilized on medicine, later, and you feel that you are not in a psychotic episode but you still feel as if the psych nurse and the psychiatrist don't have your best interests at heart, you must tell them and let them know why. You can choose then to end your relationship with them, if it seems appropriate. It must be horrible for you. Please talk with your support network, including support groups, friends, and family, if you need an objective opinion as to whether you are seeing reality. I wish you the best.
