Hi @chikieal

Welcome to the Forums. I’m glad you’ve found us.

You ask an interesting question. I know a lot of members on the Forums have experienced frustrations with the mental health system, while others have had good experiences with hospitals and medication. What I have learned from reading the many different stories here on the Forums, is that everyone’s needs are different and finding out what works for you can be a long journey with many bumps and turns. It sounds like you’re facing a bump in your journey right now and feel like you’ve been taken without choice down the wrong path. I hope you can work with the people around you to find your way to where you want to be.

Can I ask, what do you think would be right for you in this situation?
