75 MINUTES OUT OF THE MINIMUM 60 MINUTES REQUIRED
*BEGIN*
DR KUVAAR:
WELCOME BACK TO GRIEF GROUP. IT’S BEEN A LONG WEEK SINCE WE LAST MET, HASN’T IT? WE HAVE MORE FACES BACK THIS WEEK. YOU WERE ALL MISSED.
PATIENT 1002:
THAT’S NOT TRUE, BUT THE EFFORT IS APPRECIATED, ANYA.
PATIENT 506:
THE BANQUET WAS LOVELY. A LOT OF MONEY WAS RAISED TO HELP FIND A CURE FOR CANCER, TOO, WHICH MADE IT EVEN BETTER.
DR KUVAAR:
WAS ANYONE ELSE AT THE BANQUET?
PATIENT 222:
MY PARTNER AND I WENT, ACTUALLY. THAT WAS OUR DINNER PLAN FOR THE WEEK.
PATIENT 717:
CANCER RUNS IN MY FAMILY, SO I WAS HAPPY TO TAG ALONG.
DR KUVAAR:
I’M GLAD THAT YOU FOUR WERE ABLE TO ENJOY YOURSELVES AND COME TOGETHER FOR A GOOD CAUSE. SOMETIMES IT IS HARD ATTENDING THOSE EVENTS WHEN IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH PAINFUL MEMORIES OF A LOST LOVED ONE.
PATIENT 222:
WELL, I’M NOT HERE FOR SOMEONE THAT DIED FROM CANCER. MY COUSIN DIED IN A SCHOOL SHOOTING IN AUGUST, BUT SHE WANTED TO BE AN ONCOLOGIST.
DR KUVAAR:
DID ATTENDING THE BANQUET BRING ANY FEELINGS BACK TO THE SURFACE, POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE?
PATIENT 222:
THEY HAD MY AUNT MAKE A SPEECH ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF CARRYING ON THE LEGACY OF THOSE WHO WANT TO SEE A CANCER FREE WORLD. STELLA, MY COUSIN, HAD ALWAYS BEEN ON THE PLANNING BOARD AND WORKED ON THE ANNUAL BANQUET FOR YEARS. IT WAS REALLY HARD TO HEAR MY AUNT TALKING ABOUT HER IN THE PAST TENSE, BUT IT WAS STILL AMAZING TO SEE SO MANY PEOPLE TOGETHER FOR THE SAME THING.
PATIENT 717:
SOMETIMES THESE BANQUETS THAT RAISE MONEY FOR RESEARCH CAN BE VERY –
PAUSE
PATIENT 222:
STIFF?
PATIENT 717:
YES. THOSE EVENTS CAN BE MORE ABOUT WHO IS DONATING HOW MUCH. THIS WASN’T LIKE THAT AT ALL.
PATIENT 1002:
AGREED. WE HAD GONE TO THE BANQUET LAST YEAR JUST AFTER MY UNCLE WAS DIAGNOSED. HIS EMPLOYER HAD PURCHASED TICKETS FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY. It DIDN’T FEEL THE SAME AS LAST WEEK’S BANQUET. IT WAS MORE ABOUT FAMILIES AND WORKING FOR A CAUSE, AND LESS ABOUT THE TAX WRITE-OFFS.
PATIENT 506:
THAT’S SAD. I CAN’T IMAGINE BEING IN A ROOM OF PEOPLE PRETENDING TO CARE.
PATIENT 1108:
WOULD YOU RATHER THEY DIDN’T DONATE MONEY TO CANCER RESEARCH, THEN? IT SHOULDN’T REALLY MATTER WHY THEY’RE GIVING MONEY SO LONG AS THEY’RE HELPING.
PATIENT 506:
THAT’S NOT WHAT I WAS SAYING. IT’S JUST A BITTER PILL TO SWALLOW KNOWING THAT THEY’RE IN IT FOR THE SOCIAL AND FINANCIAL BENEFITS OF DOING THE RIGHT THING.
PATIENT 1108:
METHINKS YOU SHOULDN’T COMPLAIN.
PATIENT 1002:
ARE YOU ALWAYS THIS RUDE, KELLER, OR ONLY BECAUSE YOU HAVE AN AUDIENCE TODAY?
PATIENT 417:
ALL THE TIME.
PATIENT 1108 (KELLER);
SHE SPEAKS THE TRUTH FOR ONCE.
DR KUVAAR:
IF I MAY, I’D LIKE TO DIRECT OUR CONVERSATION TONIGHT A BIT MORE THAN I USUALLY DO. BEFORE I DO THAT, HOWEVER, BRIGHTON HAS SOMETHING THAT SHE WANTS TO TELL EVERYONE.
PATIENT 506:
IS IT AN UPDATE ON HANNAH?
PATIENT 401 (BRIGHTON):
YES. NOW THAT HANNAH STARTED OPENING UP TO ME AND HELPING ME UNDERSTAND HOW SHE GOT TO THE POINT WHERE SHE WAS WHEN I FOUND HER, I FEEL LIKE THERE CAN FINALLY BE A CONVERSATION.
DR KUVAAR:
HANNAH HAD NOT YET SHARED WITH THIS CURRENT GRIEF GROUP WHY SHE WAS HERE. HER TWIN SISTER WAS MURDERED OFF CAMPUS. SHE WAS STABBED TO DEATH AFTER BEING RAPED. UNFORTUNATELY, HER KILLER WAS NEVER FOUND. IT HAS BEEN VERY DIFFICULT FOR HANNAH, SPECIFICALLY, BECAUSE SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE WITH HER SISTER AT THE TIME BUT LEFT WITHOUT HER.
PATIENT 401 (BRIGHTON):
THEY HAD GOTTEN INTO A FIGHT ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT HANNAH WAS HANGING AROUND WITH AT SOME PARTY THAT NIGHT.
DR KUVAAR:
AS A RESULT, HANNAH FEELS VERY GUILTY ABOUT HER SISTER’S DEATH. THEY WOULD’VE BEEN WALKING HOME TOGETHER HAD THEY NOT BEEN ARGUING AND THAT IS WEIGHT ON HANNAH’S SHOULDERS.
PATIENT 401 (BRIGHTON):
HANNAH CALLED ME OUT OF THE BLUE ON THAT MONDAY THAT I WASN’T HERE. I WAS LEAVING MY DORM EARLY BECAUSE I WANTED TO STOP FOR SOME GUMMY BEARS. I NOTICED THAT HANNAH HAD SOME AT THE LAST MEETING SO I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE NICE TO JUST LOW-KEY OFFER SOME TO HER.
DR KUVAAR:
WHICH IS A VERY KIND GESTURE.
PATIENT 401 (BRIGHTON):
SO, SHE CALLED ME WHILE I WAS AT THE GAS STATION AND ASKED IF I COULD COME TO HELP HER. SHE SAID SHE DID SOMETHING STUPID AND DIDN’T KNOW WHO ELSE SHE COULD CALL. I WAS SCARED BUT I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT I WAS GOING TO BE WALKING INTO WHEN I SHOWED UP. WHEN I GOT THERE…
PATIENT 401 (BRIGHTON) BEGINS CRYING
DR KUVAAR:
FOR CLARITY, HANNAH HAS VERBALLY CONSENTED TO THIS INFORMATION BEING SHARED. IT IS VERY PERSONAL IN NATURE, AND WE BOTH ASKED HER SEVERAL TIMES IF SHE WAS SURE ABOUT HOW MUCH SHE’S TOLD US TO DISCUSS WITH EVERYONE.
PATIENT 401 (BRIGHTON):
WHEN I GOT TO HANNAH’S DORM ROOM, THE DOOR WAS UNLOCKED. SHE TOLD ME I COULD COME RIGHT IN AND THAT SHE WAS IN HER BEDROOM ON THE LEFT. I FOUND HER LYING IN HER CLOSET IN A BATHROBE. I ASKED HER IF SHE WAS OKAY BUT SHE COULDN’T TELL ME WITH WORDS.
PATIENT 401 (BRIGHTON) BEGINS CRYING AGAIN
DR KUVAAR:
HANNAH CALLED BRIGHTON BECAUSE SHE RELAPSED. AFTER HER SISTER’S DEATH, HANNAH TRIED TO TAKE HER OWN LIFE MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS IS WHY SHE WAS PLACED IN A MENTAL HEALTHCARE FACILITY. SHE’D BEEN STRUGGLING WITH SELF-HARMING SINCE HER RELEASE. THE REASON HANNAH CALLED BRIGHTON IS BECAUSE SHE HAD DONE A VARIETY OF THINGS THAT WOULD’VE RESULTED IN HER OWN DEATH HAD SHE LEFT HERSELF IN THE CLOSET WITHOUT CALLING FOR HELP.
PATIENT 401 (BRIGHTON):
I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO. SHE ASKED ME NOT TO CALL ANYONE, NOT TO CALL HER PARENTS OR THE HOSPITAL. I MADE HER GO THROW UP SO THAT THE SHE COULD GET THE PILLS SHE’D TAKEN OUT OF HER BODY AND SENT A TEXT MESSAGE TO DOCTOR ANYA TO SEE WHAT I SHOULD DO. I WAS SO SCARED BUT I KNEW THAT I COULDN’T LEAVE HANNAH ALONE LIKE THAT.
DR KUVAAR:
I CALLED THE PSYCHIATRIST THAT WORKED WITH HANNAH AT THE FACILITY. SHE CONTACTED BRIGHTON ABOUT HOW TO CALM HANNAH DOWN AND COAX HER INTO GOING TO THE HOSPITAL. THANKFULLY, HANNAH REALIZED QUICKLY THAT SHE WASN’T HEALTHY ENOUGH TO BE ON HER OWN ANYMORE.
PATIENT 401 (BRIGHTON):
I STILL CAN’T BELIEVE SHE TRUSTED ME ENOUGH TO CALL. SHE COULD HAVE DIED. SHE WOULD HAVE DIED THAT DAY IF SHE DIDN’T CALL ME.
DR KUVAAR:
BUT SHE DIDN’T. HANNAH KNEW THAT YOU CARED BECAUSE YOU STUCK WITH HER EVEN WHEN IT WAS HARD TO BE AROUND HER. BEING HER PARTNER REMINDED HER THAT PEOPLE WANT HER TO BE HAPPY AGAIN. THE FACT THAT SHE CALLED YOU IS A SIGN THAT SHE’S READY TO BE MORE ACTIVE IN THE HEALING PROCESS.
PATIENT 401 (BRIGHTON):
IT HAS BEEN REALLY HARD SEEING HER IN HER SWEATPANTS AND T-SHIRT. HER CLOTHES ARE CLEAN AND CRISP, BUT I KEEP HAVING FLASHBACKS OF HER BODY COVERED IN BLOOD. THEY LET ME BRING DINNERS WHEN I VISIT SO THAT SHE CAN HAVE A BREAK FROM THE CAFETERIA FOOD. BUT IT’S SO UNCOMFORTABLE SOMETIMES THAT THE ONLY REASON I DON’T START CRYING IS BECAUSE I AM SHOVELING FOOD INTO MY MOUTH.
DR KUVAAR:
THAT IS UNDERSTANDABLE. WHAT YOU WERE EXPOSED TO WHEN HELPING HANNAH IS A TERRIFYING THING TO WITNESS. IT IS ITS OWN TYPE OF TRAUMA. SAD AS IT IS THAT YOU’VE BEEN FACED WITH THIS PAINFUL EXPERIENCE, IT WILL BE SOMETHING THAT YOU AND HANNAH SHARE NOW. AS YOU MOVE PAST THIS, I TRULY BELIEVE THAT YOU WILL BOTH BECOME STRONGER FROM IT.
PATIENT 401 (BRIGHTON):
I DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW SHE COULD DO THAT TO HERSELF. DOESN’T IT HURT? DOESN’T HER BRAIN STOP HER FROM DOING THAT SORT OF THING?
DR KUVAAR:
THOSE ARE GOOD QUESTIONS, AND EXACTLY THE KIND OF THING I WANTED TO DISCUSS FURTHER TONIGHT. THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF WAYS THAT PEOPLE SELF-HARM. MOST PEOPLE THINK OF JUST MUTILATION – WHERE PEOPLE CUT OR BURN THEMSELVES AS FORM OF PUNISHMENT.
PATIENT 911:
ADDICTION IS NO DIFFERENT THAN SELF-HARM, IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT. WHEN YOU’RE USING DRUGS TO THE POINT THAT IT’S RUINING YOUR LIFE AND DESTROYING YOUR BODY, AREN’T YOU JUST DOING SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW HURTS YOU JUST TO ESCAPE THE PAIN OF YOUR REAL LIFE? IT’S THE SAME CONCEPT, ISN’T IT?
DR KUVAAR:
IT IS. THE SAME THING THAT CAUSES A PERSON TO DO DRUGS OR DRINK ALCOHOL EXCESSIVELY IS ALSO WHAT PROPELS A PERSON INTO A PLACE WHERE SELF-MUTILATION IS SEEN AS A VIABLE COPING MECHANISM. A PERSON SUFFERING FROM ADDICTION, BE IT TO HEROINE OR CHOCOLATE OR CUTTING, ALL STEMS FROM A PLACE OF MENTAL OR EMOTIONAL INSTABILITY.
PATIENT 911:
LIKE DEPRESSION.
PATIENT 621:
ANYTIME THE BRAIN STOPS PRODUCTION OF SEROTONIN, SOMEONE IS AT RISK OF DEVELOPING AN UNHEALTHY HABIT. ANYTIME SOMEONE REWARDS A BAD FEELING WITH A CALMING ACTION, IT TRAINS THE BRAIN TO FUNCTION IN THAT EXACT SAME CAPACITY. I HAD A MELTDOWN AND DRANK A BOTTLE OF VODKA, BUT I SLEPT LIKE A BABY – NOW MY BRAIN THINKS THAT IN ORDER TO SLEEP I HAVE TO DRINK. IT’S MORE COMPLICATED THAN THAT, OF COURSE, AND TAKES TIME TO DEVELOP THE HABIT SO DEEPLY THAT IT IS AN ADDICTION, BUT THAT’S THE BEGINNING. THERE’S A CAUSE TO THE EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, AND THE EFFECT IS WHATEVER ACTION YOU TAKE TO FORGET THE SUFFERING.
PATIENT 911:
AND YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO KNOW HOW THE BRAIN WORKS, HUH?
PATIENT 621:
I CAN USE TECHNICAL TERMS AND MAKE IT SEEM LIKE I’M SHOWING OFF, OR I CAN SPEAK CASUALLY WITH PEOPLE THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO BE MY FRIENDS. OR AT LEAST PEOPLE WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SOMETHING CLOSE TO MY FRIENDS.
PATIENT 911:
I WOULDN’T EVEN GO THAT FAR. I DON’T EVEN KNOW SOME OF THESE PEOPLE BY NAME.
DR KUVAAR:
BUILDING FROM WHAT SANTIAGO HAS SAID – HE’S RIGHT. ANY TIME WE ARE IN PAIN OR ARE SUFFERING WE DO THINGS TO RELIEVE OUR STRESS. EVERYTHING CAN BECOME AN ADDICTION IF ABUSED TO THE POINT OF DETRIMENT TO ONE’S HEALTH. SOME PEOPLE CHOOSE TO RUN WHEN THEY’RE STRESSED, BUT IF THEY BECOME TOO STRESSED AND RUN TOO OFTEN, THEY’LL LOSE MORE WEIGHT THAN THEY SHOULD AND START BURNING MORE CALORIES THAN ARE BEING TAKEN IN, LEAVING THAT PERSON WEAK AND TIRED.
PATIENT 506:
ARE EATING DISORDERS CONSIDERED A FORM OF SELF-HARM?
DR KUVAAR:
I THINK THAT DEPENDS ON WHICH MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL YOU ASK. BULIMIA HAS THE MOST POTENTIAL TO BE SEEN AS A DISORDER INVOLVING SELF-HARM SINCE THE INDIVIDUAL PURPOSELY INDUCES VOMITING. HOWEVER, ANOREXIA NERVOSA AND BINGING BOTH COME WITH THEIR OWN FORMS OF SELF-HARMING BEHAVIORS TOO. THEY ARE INDIRECT FORMS OF SELF-HARM.
PATIENT 1008:
SO DIRECT SELF-HARM IS – WHAT? THE KNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE HURTING YOURSELF VERSUS NO REALIZING THE PAIN YOU ARE CREATING FOR YOURSELF?
DR KUVAAR:
WE DON’T NECESSARILY CATEGORIZE THE SELF-HARMING BEHAVIOR AS DIRECT AND INDIRECT ON PAPER. HOWEVER, WHEN EXPLAINING THE CONSEQUENCES OF THOSE ACTIONS, WE DO HAVE TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN WHEN A PATIENT IS AWARE THAT THE RESULTS ARE HARMFUL.
PATIENT 911:
AND WHEN THEY LIE?
DR KUVAAR:
IF THEY LIE, THAT HELPS DETERMINE HOW MUCH PROFESSIONAL HELP IS REQUIRED TO MAKE THE PATIENT WELL AGAIN AND HOW TO FORMULATE A TREATMENT PLAN.
PATIENT 621:
WHY WAS HANNAH ALLOWED OUT OF THE FACILITY IF YOU KNEW SHE WAS SELF-HARMING?
DR KUVAAR:
HANNAH’S RELEASE WAS NOT IDEAL. THERE ARE THINGS THAT ARE SOMETIMES OUT OF THE MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS’ CONTROL. WHEN SHE LEFT, HOWEVER, THERE WERE SEVERAL THINGS THAT HANNAH HAD TO AGREE TO DO IF SHE WANTED TO STAY IN SCHOOL.
PATIENT 621:
WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF SHE KILLED HERSELF AND YOU ALL LET HER OUT WHEN SHE WASN’T READY?
DR KUVAAR:
UNFORTUNATELY, THERE’S NOT MUCH ANY OF US COULD DO TO MAKE THOSE ODDS ZERO, SHY OF FOLLOWING HER EVERYWHERE SHE WENT. HANNAH’S TREATMENT PLAN COULD ONLY BE SUCCESSFUL IF SHE WANTED IT TO BE SUCCESSFUL. I MET WITH HANNAH EVERY SINGLE DAY AND SPOKE TO HER ON THE PHONE EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. EVERYTHING THAT HAS BEEN WITHIN MY POWER TO INFLUENCE HER TO WANT TO BE WELL – I’VE TAKEN IT.
PATIENT 621:
BUT THAT MEANS NOTHING IF SHE WOULD’VE DIED.
PATIENT 911:
SANTIAGO, IT WOULDN’T BE ANYONE’S FAULT. THEY DID THEIR JOBS. THEY’RE STILL DOING THEIR JOBS.
PATIENT 621 (SANTIAGO):
NO, THEY HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO SAVE HANNAH’S LIFE.
DR KUVAAR:
I UNDERSTAND YOUR FRUSTRATION. WHILE I HAVE NEVER LOST A PATIENT UNDER MY CARE, I HAVE HAD PATIENTS CHANGE TO OTHER PSYCHIATRISTS BECAUSE OF THEIR INSURANCE ALTERING THE PLANS OR CHANGING TO BRAND NEW COMPANIES. THEY TOOK THEIR LIVES, OVERDOSED, DROVE DRUNK AND DIED – AND THERE’S NOT A DAY THAT PASSES THAT I DON’T CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITY THAT I DIDN’T DO ENOUGH FOR THEM. BUT I URGE YOU, SANTIAGO, TO RECONSIDER WHETHER FAULT SHOULD BE ASSIGNED. SO MANY FACTORS PLAY A ROLE IN OUR MENTAL HEALTH THAT THERE IS RARELY ONE THING THAT LEADS TO MENTAL ILLNESS. IT IS NOT UNLIKE A NEURODEGENERATIVE DISORDER THAT SHOWS UP IN SOMEONE WHO HAS NEVER HAD A GENETIC HISTORY OF IT. THERE’S NOT ONE GENE, ONE LIFESTYLE PRACTICE, THAT MADE IT OCCUR. MANY THINGS CONTRIBUTE TO ITS PRESENCE.
PATIENT 911:
THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS NOW IS THAT HANNAH IS BEING CARED FOR THE WAY SHE NEEDS. BRIGHTON IS THERE FOR HER. DOCTOR ANYA IS THERE FOR HER. WE’RE ALL WAITING FOR HER WHEN SHE COMES BACK.
PATIENT 621 (SANTIAGO):
DOCTORS ARE SUPPOSED TO SAVE LIVES.
DR KUVAAR:
INDEED, MISTER RIVIERA, AND I DO HOPE THAT YOU SOMEDAY YOU ARE ABLE TO SAVE MANY OF THEM.
PATIENT 911:
SO, I DON’T THINK ANYONE NOTICED, BUT THE TIME FOR BREAK HAS ALREADY PASSED.
PATIENT 1008:
YEAH, IT’S PAST OUR MEETING TIME TOO.
PATIENT 401 (BRIGHTON):
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SOMETHING VERY CLEAR BEFORE WE LEAVE TODAY. YOU ARE LOVED. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU HAS SOMEONE WHO CARES ABOUT YOU. PLEASE DON’T DRINK YOURSELF STUPID, CUT YOURSELF OPEN, OR DO ANYTHING DANGEROUS. DOCTOR ANYA WILL GIVE YOU EVERYTHING SHE HAS TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE SAFE. I’LL DO ANYTHING TO MAKE SURE YOU’RE SAFE. IF YOU HAVE NOBODY ELSE, WE WILL ALWAYS BE HERE FOR YOU. EVERY WEEK, EVERY DAY.
DR KUVAAR:
I DON’T THINK I COULD’VE PUT IT BETTER MYSELF, BRIGHTON. WE’RE GOING TO END GROUP THERE, BUT YOU CAN STICK AROUND FOR TEN MORE MINUTES. I HAVE TO RECORD A BREAK TIME SO I’LL BE HERE ANYWAY. PLEASE REMEMBER WHAT BRIGHTON SAID, THOUGH. NO MATTER HOW FAR GONE YOU THINK YOU ARE, THERE’S ALWAYS SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP YOU. THERE’S ALWAYS SOMEONE WHO CARES ABOUT YOU. I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING EACH AND EVERY SINGLE ONE YOU EVERY MONDAY. USUALLY, THIS IS THE BEST PART OF MY WEEK.

The next chapter is ready for your hungry eyes!
If you are considering suicide, or have suicidal thoughts, please do not make the decision to take your life.

Don’t see your country on this list? Try this website, there should be a helpline that is close enough to you to utilize.
This appears to be another source with a wider list of international numbers. Some numbers do vary from the list above and may have a center that is closer to you. There are also more possible hotline services that are more specific listed for the United States and the United Kingdom.
Don’t forget to like my Facebook Page, check out my Patreon Page, or follow me on Twitter (I’m trying to make more posts there using trending tags, if you’re really interested in my brain nuggets). I also have a Tumblr if you prefer to digest media on that platform.
And, as a reminder-slash-call-out, the best way to support this project is to spread the word about it. Share it on Facebook, Retweet it, Reblog it, Heart it – show your love and let other’s know that this thing exists. I appreciate your readership so much and can’t wait to start moving into the next stage of grieving with these characters in the coming weeks!
