One disturbing thing that my psychiatrist said, and that I think has damaged me, is that I am "broken". I think that has crushed, or dampened, my desire to live a full life. It's made me believe that I cannot. A full life is beyond me.
Have you run into anything like that?
Logically, this doesn't make sense. I am a whole person who happens to have an illness that makes life suck every so often. So? Who is perfect? But I have this thing with authority figures, and Dr's are authority figures, and am having a hard time dumping this comment as the hogwash my mind tells me it must be.
