Can I post about something that happened to me with the mental health system?
Can I tell this story here?

Re: Can I post about something that happened to me with the mental health system?
Hi @Jlol,
I'm Shimmer, one of the moderators here, nice to 'meet' you!
I'm sorry to hear that you experienced dodgy practices in a hospital, which subsequently tried to discredit you, resulting in stress and depression. It sounds like you took strong action by reporting this so that it won't happen again to others, good on you.
You can certainly talk about your experiences here, although our Community Guidelines ask that you don't name specific service providers (hospitals or individual practitioners), for a few reasons: to ensure members don't make personal treatment decisions based on others' experiences (as what works/doesn't for one person might not for another); to protect members' anonymity; and to ensure no defamatory comments are made. I hope this helps.
Look forward to hearing more of your story @Jlol!
Take care,
Shimmer

Even with anonymity and not giving names .. you can do a lot of good in alerting the general community about what is ok .. and not .. and how to make decisions about the present real state of affairs in mh field.
