I'm just fed up, I know they're trying to help me, but I don't want them to. And I'm not even scared about my liver, I feel like I don't even believe it or something, because I don't feel physically unwell.
I just want them to leave me alone, and stop telling me what I should do, etc. I like my therapist but not my psychiatrist, it's just annoying. She wants me to increase my paxil too, which I know I need because I'm severely depressed, from 12.5 mg to 20 mg... and a part of me just wants to tell her no. To not do it. To just get off the antidepressant completely. For her to stop telling me what to do.
Part of me - maybe a large part - has been depressed for seven years and doesn't want to get better. Part of me wants to stop eating just to defy my psychiatrist.
I don't know why, but I seem not to want to get better.

You could always go to a primary care physician for a second opinion on your liver. And if there is an issue related to your eating habits maybe a nutritionist could help you out. If there isn't anything found wrong with your liver from a second opinion I would make it known....
