Abby,

I'm sorry you had that experience. You didn't need that. Unfortunately, it sounds all too familiar. I couldn't get anybody to take me seriously either, and it took me way too long before I found the right therapist. But I was hoping that your doctor would listen to you. If you feel like something is wrong, there probably is - nobody knows you better than you do. I hope you will try again - maybe you would do better to talk to a counselor.

You said that you can't say all the things that are bothering you, but you can write it down. Go ahead and write it down and give them the letter. That was what I had to do too, as I just couldn't get the words to come out when I was sitting there talking to someone, even after finding the right counselor and getting over being so nervous about it. I still write things that are too hard to say out loud or that I might forget.

I hope that you will try again. Come here and talk to us whenever you like.
