I care

“I am to be a psychologist, because I care. -- -I was the only one who cared for her. As I promised, I shall vanquish all the monsters under her bead and wipe every tear that glides down her cheek. But, I know that it won’t actually be her that I treat... it will be other thrown away children and adults who had been thought broken and useless to the world. Them, I can help. And in my sister’s memory, I’ll save them.”                     --Benjamin du Pont, when asked why he wanted to a Psych major.

                    “They make me loopy                      and have zero filter                          and happy.”

[declan-dupont]

               “You. . .            don’t want to            be happy. . .?"

[ofcrxwns]

"How about we talk about my drugs—

                             as in I hate them and need less.”

[declan-dupont]

                                                     “Alright.                                                      That’s something.                                                      I can talk to one of the Psychiatrists                                                       and see what I can manage.

                                                     What are the exact complaints?"

[cassandraxbeckhart]

       It’s just I would have never thought        that I would meet so many people       like this. Or that I would become so                            attached.

                                                                                            Yeah well…                                                                             you know all of our home lives                                                                                     aren’t exactly peachy.

                                    So make your own action.                      They’re supposed to be the one’s teaching you.

[declan-dupont]

                                                     Strange things happen.                                                      I’m glad to hear                                                       that you’ve made                                                      strong relationships here. They’ll definitely help with your recovery.

                                                                                I should do something more,                                                                                 shouldn’t I?                                                                                 I’ll see what                                                                                 I can do.

[ofcrxwns]

"You can do what you want—

                      you’re the doctor.”

[declan-dupont]

"Not quite yet.                    But I get the idea."

[cassandraxbeckhart]

                  ——He visits.        But I have all the friends I need                       right here.       Is it…bad that I don’t want to leave?

                          Well, you are still only an intern.                         Maybe talk to one of them about being more                                      involved. They can do nice things sometimes.

[declan-dupont]

Bad. . .  Maybe not. Strange? A little.

                                           Typically, institutions such as this                                                                            are not preferable to stay in                                              when compared to home.

                                                                   I do talk to them.                                                                    They merely dismiss me

                                                                   and say I'm not ready.

[cassandraxbeckhart]

      Well, they’re trying something new.     It just seems like they’re really trying               to get me out of here.      —-You did? You don’t sound too                   happy about it.

[declan-dupont]

You don’t want to be out of here? What about your father? Friends?

         I like to included in things, especially things involving patients.

                   I want to know what’s going on with you guys.

[ofcrxwns]

"Oh…

                Either way, talking to me never ends well for anyone.”

[declan-dupont]

“Would you like me to go?"

[cassandraxbeckhart]

       Oh.. well you know, you guys increased my doses so I can’t help but look a little dazed..

[declan-dupont]

Did they? I wasn’t aware.

                   They never tell me anything, you see. Even if I got my internship period lengthened, that’s all they’ll ever see me as.

[ofcrxwns]

"Not really. But I have to be here another half hour anyway."

[declan-dupont]

"This. . .  this isn’t a session.

         While now I can hold them with patients without supervision.

                   This isn’t one. I just wanted to check on you, Natasha."

[cassandraxbeckhart]

       Uh, sorry… ready for what, exactly?

[declan-dupont]

I thought we could talk for a bit. You looked a little dazed so I wasn’t going to interrupt that.

[ofcrxwns]

"Then what should it be about, hm?

                My brother who decided to lock me in here instead of dealing with our problems?

Or one of my ex boyfriends, both of which have realized my level of insanity and decided to

                                  get as far away from me as possible.”

[declan-dupont]

“Well. . .

                       I suppose any of that works. But do you honestly want to talk about it, Natasha? Because if not, I will not make you."

[ofcrxwns]

"Then we’ll be waiting here a while, won’t we?"

[declan-dupont]

“There’s absolutely nothing you want to talk about?

                       It doesn’t have to be about you . . . or even me."

[ofcrxwns]

"That’s because I don’t."

[declan-dupont]

“Which is why I’ll wait. . ."

[ofcrxwns]

"Ready for what exactly?"

[declan-dupont]

"You didn’t seem like you wanted to talk.

                     --So I’ll wait. And when you’re ready, we can chat."

[declan-dupont]

I’ll wait until you’re ready.

[damaged-lucy-deactivated2014112]

Who’s my doctor?

[declan-dupont]

You don't have a specific doctor, so any one of the doctors here you can talk to.

[damaged-lucy-deactivated2014112]

Yes…

[declan-dupont]

Have you not told your doctor?
