Do not dismiss me


Explanation:
I am not sure of the context, but the phrase seems to mean something like 'please do not simply dismiss me as if I was crazy.

In the Dicionário da Porto Editora, 'correr com alguém' is translated as 'to turn someone out'. So, 'do not turn me out', 'do not chase me out' or 'do not dismiss me' (as if I was crazy).

Perhaps 'don't throw me out' fits better.. since 'correr com' is also used metaphorically.
