How have your families(&friends) reacted to this? I find it's almost a rule to get some really bad quality support in WD.. maybe because it's not recognized, maybe because it's invisible. Looking from the outside we look normal, just behave different. Maybe because of the psychological thing, stigma.. odd views people have about how to treat mental problems. I don't know.. I've had some surprising reactions. Especially from family. Those that sort of understand/believe are still puzzled and mostly go quiet. I've hardly been able to have any real conversations about this with anyone in the 4 years that I've struggled with the drug. Some have gotten angry at me. Some have said they understood and how horrible it has been with the drug, and then right afterwards have told me to go see the expert, a psychiatrist. The same people who messed up in the first place. I don't know if it's too scary for them to accept the idea that the system might be inherently broken. I've lost contact with friends. But I also have a really good friend, thankfully, who understands and I can talk with. I don't know if it's harder for family members because they are close.. it hurts them more to see us suffer.
Has anyone had good understanding family support?
