October Baby Page #2
So how have you felt this week?
Any new symptoms or problems?
No. I feel fine.
Well, I've looked
at your E.E.G. and M.R.l.,
and it looks as though we need to
reconsider our current management of the epilepsy.
Stress, sleep deprivation and alcohol
can increase your risk of seizures.
Since you haven't had a seizure since
childhood, I just have to ask-
L-L-Look. I don't do drugs. I don't drink.
I don't smoke. I haven't-
If that's what you mean.
Oh. I see.
B.P.D., acute asthma, seizures,
multiple hip surgeries-
most when you were
too young to remember.
I remember some.
Hannah, I believe that everything
you've suffered from...
is related.
Why am I sick?
You were born very prematurely.
Twenty-four weeks.
Premature birth
or low birth weight...
and a traumatic delivery can be
associated with this condition.
I was premature,
and that's why I'm sick.
Hannah, we're concerned
about you...
because of the physical and emotional
symptoms that you're having.
What do you- What do you
mean, um, emotional?
Your father
e-mailed me this.
I feel dead inside.
No. Something worse
than death.
I am still a child, a child trying
to find a place in this world.
I have so many unanswered questions, questions
I feel but can't even begin to speak...
because there are
Something is missing.
Why, God, do I feel-
do I feel unwanted?
Why do / feel / have
no r/jght to exist?
Why do I spend more time wanting
to end my life than live it?
You- You read my journal?
Hannah, I believe that what
you're feeling is normal,
and is even expected.
What is-
What is this about?
What? What?
Hannah, we're not
your biological parents.
Hang on. That's, uh- That's
not how I wanted to tell you.
Why didn't you tell me
I was adopted?
Okay. Um-
Hannah, you were born premature because you
are the survivor of a failed abortion.
Your physical and I believe
your emotional symptoms...
can be traced to this,
as they have in other cases.
I-I-I can only speak
to your physical symptoms.
But I'm suggesting that you begin treatment for
your psychological symptoms as well.
Immediately.
Now, I'm prescribing a new medication
to help control your seizures,
and you have to continue
to take your current medication.
- Hannah.
- Don't-
I have to go.
- Hey. I don't think that's a good idea.
- Don't touch me.

Can / call you back?
Jason, the iron's on fire.
No, it's too-
It's in my hand.
It's really loud in here. I'm sorry.
