[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 572671, member: 1514"] I was in a group therapy type thing and we did a session on MH advanced directives and it was one that I basically had a hissy fit during. It is bad enough that I have a medical advanced directive but the whole idea of a mental health one just put me over the edge. It was really soon after I was in the hospital with the meningitis and I just got very irritable and smartassed about most of the comments and questions on the form. I named people like Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse as the people who could make my decisions. I seriously dont trust anyone to decide that I can be placed into any mental health facility. Sorry Charlie. No way. Im not giving that power away to anyone. Not in this lifetime or the next. It was bad enough when I didnt have the choice to go to a rehab facility. I fought that one tooth and nail. Yeah I needed it but I begged Tony to sneak me out before they could send me and I felt so betrayed. Now I understand but at the time, I was mad and scared to death. After that, nope, not giving up anything other than the fact that I dont want to live on life support with no chance of being anything but a veggie for the rest of my life. Pull the plug. [/QUOTE]
