In reply to don't make friends with those in psych community, posted by rnny on March 29, 2010, at 23:03:39
> My T told me today I need to make friends but I shouldn't make friends with anyone in the "psychiatric community". Or in other words those undergoing treatment. Says I am too good for them. Says I am too intelligent, too sophisticated and don't have serious cognitive problems. I am not kidding. She says my problems aren't halluctinations, delusions and the like so to stay away from the "psychiatric community" in general. Says they are not the kind of people I should be hooking up with for friendship. I told her she needn't worry because I wasn't looking to the "psychiatric community" for friendship. But I forgot to mention this board and I do consider everyone on it my friend. And I don't plan on going anywhere.<<
----flutterby: could it be that your T. was being kind and was really saying that you could be impressionable and get others ideas/experiences caught in your head and then possibly make them your own?? (not saying you do that-- just maybe she's concerned?)
Only and idea-- I mean no offense at all.respectfully,
