Or something along those lines.

Excellent way to communicate with her, Sarah. Ashamed is exactly the feeling I had - I didn't even realize it, so thank you for giving me clarification for my own feelings. In my mind, I was being completely truthful with her and received zero validation. In addition, I don't think she was really hearing how awful I felt on the higher dose (Abilify).

Thank you, so much
