I wanted to get better. I really did want to get better. Everybody gives up on me. I didn't want my mental illness. It wasn't my choice. I don't want to be depressed. I hate it. There was a time I was doing so well. I wanted to get back to that place. But I am so depressed. And Dr. Litwinson gave up on me. I am tired of crying myself to sleep every night.

I saw a Dr. Litwinson for 12 years on a weekly basis. It was helpful in having that as I don't have family or friends I could talk to. One month I was having a very bad month. My health was declining and my behavior began to escalate. At the end of that month my psychiatrist of 12 years terminated my care. In those 12 years I never acted in such a way. I couldn't understand why I was acting the way I was. It was a very confusing time for me. After the termination my behavior kept getting worse as I was now feeling abandoned, rejected, and scared for my future. And all the while I still couldn't understand why I was behaving the way I was. After awhile I realized my depression wasn't getting any better so I took myself off of my medication. Shortly after I find out that the medication was the cause of how I was feeling and for my unusual behavior. It all made sense to me then because I have never acted in such a way my whole life. I didn't even know how to explain how I was feeling at the time of my disruptive behavior until I read the outline of the warning section on the medication I was given by my psychiatrist. I wish I never was put onto that medication in the first place. Dr. Litwinson won't take me back as a patient which I feel is very unfair because she is the one that prescribed that medication. It is hard to find a psychiatrist that offers what she offered me during the appointments. I feel so lost and alone right now.

Dr. Litwinson turned out to be very unprofessional. She basically kicked me when I was already down. Left me high and dry because of my behaviour which was caused by her medication that she restarted at a higher dose. She didn't properly monitor my medication. My depression got worse because of Dr. Litwinson abandoning me. Gave me no warning. Didn't refer me and basically dropped me like a bag of garbage. She has destroyed my life. I will never ever trust another doctor because of what she did to me. What Dr. Litwinson did to me is far worse than what my abusers did. I loved her. What a fool I was to trust her. And now she is dictating my life. I need to go for professional training for my job which is offered in the Cabrini center at the parent link and just because her office is in the same building she had me banned from there. She also had me banned from the Misericordia Hospital. Dr. Litwinson has made it sound like I am a terrible person because I have a mental illness. I'm not a bad person. And she has sued me.

Dr. Litwinson is unfair. She made a mistake with my medication which caused unusual behaviour so she terminated my care.

Dr. Litwinson has let me down more than anyone else in my whole life. She abandoned me making me feeling rejected, alone, scared for the future and very vulnerable. She has hurt me.
