Venting My psychiatrist told me in a commanding tone “you have to live” and I’ve been furious since then

[JassieDusk]

I see it as one of countless attempts of people forcing me to endure this ugly existence. He also said he can force me into a psychiatric hospital if he thinks I'm a danger to myself (which I already knew, but having him tell me that makes me furious).
It's like saying "I have authority over you and over your life. You will never be allowed to escape".
I am sure many members on here feel the same about the system and society in general.
Escaping from this world is a taboo topic, if you mention it all the focus will be on "recovery", and if you try to escape you'll be treated like a criminal, locked up and supervised.
I feel as if my suicide would not just be an escape but also an act of rebellion against the system which won't grant us our basic rights - to cancel our subscription we never even agreed to in the first place.

Sounds like your psych has a bit of a God complex... How frustrating. You'd of course be well within your rights to find a new one.

This made me giggle
But you're right, not just him but all the professionals I've been to in the last 8 years. I am afraid we aren't very welcome here

He's using the power of Christ to compel you.
