.....I have written a daily journal on how I feel but the psych disregarded it which totally destroyed my hope......

He doubtless thinks its just "psychotic ravings" and not worth spending his time on. He probably doesn't have the insight anyway. Keep looking and hoping. The writing itself will help keep you keep going. Sometime someday someone will listen and symathize. Maybe even understand.Richard Bandler tells a story of a woman who was treated for twelve years with many relapses. She told him she couldn't tell what she thought and imagined from what actually took place. Richard said put a border around what you think then you can tell them apart in the future. She tried it and it worked for her. Its such a simple idea, but it made a big difference for her. Just the fear can be your worst enemy. Sometimes little strategies that help you stay grounded and connected can go a long way toward making life bearable.
You might look for R.D. Laing's books. He is an English Psychiatrist who has quite a different perspective on problems of your type.
Hang in there...Keep looking... Some say the real mark of insanity is to keep doing the same thing over and over, hoping for a different result.
