> I was at a place in my life where I'd had a lot of choices taken away in the recent months (a poor termination with a therapist most noteably) and being forced into the unit against my will, when I know it really wasnt the right place for me, was hard to accept.
I don't believe you can truly help people by taking away their choices. I think that once you impose your will on someone else, once you believe it is acceptable to do that, it makes abuses that much easier to happen. Slippery slope.
>In some ways, I felt like I'd had all my rights as a human being taken away
I definitely felt this way. Some of the things that were done to me made me feel less than human.
