<Chris P.O.V>

Today was the first day of therapy, I asked Joyner if he could watch Tiana for a few hours. I felt like it was best for me to get myself together the right way. I had to focus on me, Christopher Maurice Brown.

"Hello Christopher I'm Dr.Evans and I'm a therapist here at Bridgeview Hospital I looked at your record and it's shows that you were recently in an institution in Virginia"

I sighed "Yes"

"Ok, so tell me why you decided to schedule an appointment for today"

"For me, I feel like I haven't been mentally stable to even get myself on the straight and narrow path"

The therapist sat up from his chair "Why so?"

"My mind is crowded with bottles up emotions, I also think about negative things a lot."

"You can't keep holding everything inside Christopher..."

I cut him off "But if I let everything out like I used to then it'll only end up bad for me and the people around me"

"So you got to learn how to deal with them, express your emotions differently you don't always have to express them emotionally."

I sighed "So far I've started a few methods to help"

"Ok tell me a few"

"Recently I've been writing my emotions out and making them into songs... I also do art work to express how I'm feeling at the moment"

Dr. Evans started writing in his notepad then he looked back up at me.

"So can you say that these two methods are sufficient for you? Do they help in some way?"

I nodded "Yeah, somewhat but I always still have that feeling of anger"

"Anger? With someone you know"

"No with myself, I hate the person that I've become. I've lost a lot due to my actions" I said looking at my hands.

Then he nodded "I love how your willing to speak out for yourself because a lot of people who come here always keep it bottled up. I can tell that you're a mature man who's really trying to better himself"

"I am Sir, I'm tired of being the bad guy"

"So I see you were diagnosed with 2 disorders"

I nodded "Yeah Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Bipolar Disorder"

"Were you prescribe with any medication?"

"Yeah I take them everyday now"

He raised his eyebrow "Now?"

"For a couple of months I've been slacking but as of recently I've been taking them daily"

"How recent?"
