Yeah they often believed my mother over me. When I did end up in the hospital I never really tried to persuade them. But they saw that I wasn't exactly as what my mother describes me. They caught on to some of my view. I had more freedom in the hospital than at home. And I could talk to other teenagers/people. She couldn't manipulate me while I was there. And she couldn't manipulate the hospital.

When I was outpatient and saw a counselor I didn't say I had suicidal thoughts cause then I'd be sent back to the hospital.

[c=002673]Your mother was gaslighting you. I hope you are ok now.

I wouldn't lie to a health professional or anyone else. It is hard enough getting doctors or anyone to hear us out when we do need help.[/c]
