I'm not coping with this recent news. I can't believe my aunt is gone. It feels like a bad dream. I can't even breathe. I can't deal with this on top of everything else. I just can't.

I just got another psychiatrist. I don't like her. I only saw her once so far and my first impression of her isn't good. During the appointment she basically called me a lier three times. Not in so many words but that's what she meant. But I needed my medication adjusted. She looks like she's close to retirement. i miss Dr. Litwinson so very much. The last thing she said to me is that she's not irreplaceable. I wanted to say to her at that moment that "yes you are" but I didn't. I had a routine with her. I was comfortable with Dr. Litwinson. I trusted her very much. I think there were times I tried to convince myself that I didn't trust her because trust doesn't come easy for me so it scared me when I did trust her. I also tried to convince myself that II didn't need her or that I didn't feel safe there. Again it was because it scared me knowing that I did need her because I didn't have anyone my whole life that I was able to rely on but myself so it was scary for me at my age to start needing someone for support. But the truth is that I did and still do need Dr. Litwinson. And I don't think there was ever a place I felt completely safe. So I convinced myself again that I wasn't safe in her office. But actually that is the only place I do feel 100% safe. It was very helpful for me to have those appointments. And she already knows me, my history and everything. I have so much stress going on right now and no one to talk to. I was recently assaulted which was completely my fault, there was a death in the family this past weekend, and I was served with papers tonight from an auto accident almost a year ago and now I'm being sued. Right now I feel I am just hanging on by a thread. And I miss Dr. Litwinson so so much. Why did I have to mess everything up? Why? Life is too short and I don't want to waste it being depressed. There was a time that I was doing so well and if given the chance, I know I would get back there. I want to be able to prove it. And Dr. Litwinson wouldn't be sorry, guaranteed. Please help me to get back there. I would do anything to make things right. And I do mean anything. And yes Dr. Litwinson you are irriplaceable.

I feel Dr. Litwinson is unfair. Don't all psychiatrists know about possible side affects from medication. As soon as I was off the other medication my unusual behaviour stopped. I never ever would have said or done what I did. I am so remorseful and ashamed. After 12 years she should have known that something wasn't right. I am going thru so much stress right now and I have no support. I'm not doing well and this is my lowest. I just lost a family member and I have no one to talk to.

I know I'm not a bad person. I just wanted a chance to get better. Don't I deserve that just as much as her other patients? I guess not. I didn't ask for this illness. I didn't ask to be sexually assaulted by my older brothers when I was a child. Nor did I ask to be assaulted any of the other times. Okay maybe for awhile I felt all messed up. But I know it was the medication that caused my unusual behaviour. Even though my behaviour ended when I was off the other medication, but my depression declined significantly since the termination. It's like I have no will. It's also like I have given up completely. I feel my abusers have all won. Don't I deserve a chance to get better? I was looking at some photos and I remember actually feeling happy when they were taken. That was only about two years ago. I know I would have gotten back there if Dr. Litwinson didn't give up on me when she did. I had a game plan right in my hand when she terminated my care. Don't I deserve to get to a better place? I'm a person. I have real feelings too. It feels like everyone quits on me. The sexual assault centre has given up on me too, just before Dr. Litwinson did. I'm trying to do the best I can. I didn't ask for this illness. Nobody understands what it's like to live with this illness unless you experience it first hand. It's difficult but I am trying. And to make matters worse the medication I was previously on worked against me. Therefore I get punished further. Don't I deserve a happy ending to the nightmare that I am constantly in.

I can't believe my aunt is gone. I miss her and I don't have anyone to talk to. The funeral will be in BC and I will be driving. Given the state I have been in since the termination I don't know if I will even make it back here. I just feel so hopeless. I have no support and I'm all alone. I didn't mean to mess everything up. Instead of making things better I keep making things worse mostly because I felt hurt. I don't understand what happened. I really don't. I feel so very confused about everything. I would do anything to fix things. I am hurting so much. I don't like living with this kind of pain. I wish I was with my aunt and cousin.
