[QUOTE=KristenRenee;5266218]Hi there, my name is Kristen. When I read your post it was like I had written it. I have a mental illness and I happen to know for a fact that I am not like normal people who can cope and handle severe stress. I am on medication and have gone to therapy, but the fact is that my emotions run deeper than most. I feel deeper especially with trauma and stress. And if you feel guilty about your own feelings which you have a right to feel while talking to your doctor, you need to get another doctor. Nobody should or can tell you how you are supposed to feel or that i'ts not part of your illness. You know your own brain and how it works. I just went through this myself with my sister. I had a terrible tragedy happen to my son and granddaughter a couple of months ago. I am still feeling the effects from it. My sister told him that I shouldn't feel that way now because time has passed and they are going to be okay, and I tried to explain to her that I am not like other people who can just move on. I feel deeply and I can't and won't apologize for my feelings. They are my feelings whether others think it's right or wrong. I just wanted to let you know that you are not wrong and please don't feel guilty. We are who we are and each person has their own way of coping with things regardless of how others think we should think or feel. I hope this helps you, because I can totally relate.[ey QUOTE]

Hey one more thing. I just read you cannot change doctors and the reason why. I went through that as well. You can go to a higher source perhaps the administrator who sees over everything, even doctors and say how you feel. I did this one time, and it worked and I got results.
