"You're mad, bonkers, completely off your head,But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are."-Alice

I have been moved to the psychiatric ward.

Im pretty sure they're sneaking Prozac in me,probably in my food,or maybe this bag hanging on the I V. pole.That has to be it,considering the strange dreams, headaches, dizziness,vision changes,shaking, feeling anxious.

Their drugging me,and my body reacts adversely to medication.It always has.

Or am I just being paranoid?

Not only do they think I'm schizophrenic and psychotic, but
that I suffer from anxiety as well?

Fantastic!

The head shrink is going to work
with me personally.

Great!Of course they think I'm bonkers!What was I thinking telling Ray that!?

I wasn't.

I was too focused on healing.

Okay.Lets just think this through.
I've been in a coma a little over a
month.Yet I remember,in great detail,months with the king.They
think I'm a month pregnant,and
that I was raped by Todd.I wouldn't put it past him,to take me the only way he ever could, but I know that was around the first time the king and I made love!They think I have created this version of reality to protect
myself,that I can't handle being
victimized.

But,I have before,haven't I?

Once I get my legs to work,I'm
out of here! I'll convince Ray to come with me,and we'll leave this God forsaken place!Find the portal back to my husband,where I belong!

"Gabs,I know you're upset with me,but please talk to me."

Ray,ranting in my head.The fact that he didn't believe me, actually thought I have lost my mind?That
cut me to my core.

Fine! I'll speak to you!

"Have I ever lied to you,Ray?"

"No-but,Gabs..."

"EVER?"

"No.Youre a very honest person,"
he sighed,"I just think, because of the trauma, you're...confused."

"I wasn't traumatized, I was attacked,Ray!"

He flinched at my words,which
made me feel like a piece of shit.
He's been through so much,and I know this.

"I'm sorry,dad.I realize all of this is- unfathomable.But you've got to believe me."

"It's a illusion you've created to protect yourself,Gabs."

"No,it's not."

It wasn't,was it?

"Yes,it is.But it's going to be okay."

"Please stop saying that."I said,letting out a exasperated sigh."You just....can't possibly
relate to what I've seen,what I've been through,and I don't know how to make you see-"

Now I'm rambling on!

He reached to take my hand.

"Haven't I always taken care of you?"

"And yet,here I lie,in a psychiatric ward."

Why?WHY???My big mouth!
I didn't want to hurt him!I just wanted him to believe me,to be happy for me.

I just want out of here!

Ray flinched again from my harsh words.

"I know your just upset,Gabs.You
can't understand-"
