Hey, this is my very first post. I am a WWASP program survivor, an organization within the “Troubled Teen Industry” with zero credential or medical personnel restrictions that routinely use attack therapy and brainwashing techniques. As a result I suffer from PTSD on top of existing bipolar, BPD and ADHD all of which I was diagnosed with after the age of 30 (sans ADHD). For 15 years I spent my life wondering what was wrong with me. Now I know I was simply ill and in need of medical intervention. Now I would like to advocate on behalf of teens who are sent to these programs and for teenagers struggling with mental illness. Are there any other survivors of institutionalized abuse on here? My main struggle right now is being single and 36. I struggle with trust issues and fear of abandonment along with low self esteem and self worth. Advice is welcomed. #wwasp #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #PTSD #ADHD #BipolarDisorder #attacktherapy
