June 30, 2021- The patient is a woman of 21 years. She is very studious and she sings well. Her father has a very bad temper and even hits her with belts. (I got this information from her friend.)
D – What is your issue?
P – PCOD. Delayed and painful periods. I get periods once in four months too. They are delayed to that extent.
D – Tell me something about you.
P- (She smiles and has tears )
There are constant quarrels between my parents. Although now they have reduced. It’s maybe like we are beneath our father. I feel very small. (HG
I have a lot of self respect everywhere. I study a lot since childhood.
I am planning for my masters so that I can do a job and earn. I don’t want to be treated like my mom. I don’t like the way my mom is treated. Maybe because she does not have a fall back system. I thought why doesn’t my mom have it. She never stands up for herself. She didn’t have the option at first. Her parents were not there.
D- How does it feel when your parents are not there?
P- The parents give you the support. They’re like home. I mean for everything. It’s not like you’re married so everything’s gone. My Grandmother had asthma. She was in hospital most of the time. My grandad retired. There was no back up. They were struggling of their own thing. I get irritable at small things. Everything affects me.
D- What is the experience of being dependent or needing support?
P- I don’t need it. (A spontaneous denial) My mom does for everything. Like survival, having a home.
D- What does home give you?
P- Home and food. To live we need it, essential, we need support.
D- What are your fears?
P- I‘m not disgusted by insects. ( spontaneous denial ) I am the only person can kill them, shoo them away. I am disgusted by cockroach.
D- How do you look at a cockroach?
P- (Laughs) It’s disgusting if its roaming around the house. Mom and sister are afraid, So I shoo them. Disgusting, filthy. Lives in filthy places. Roams around.
Even if we kill it.. it lives. Something like palat jaye toh b jeeta hai ..Even when it is turned upside down it lies. It doesn’t give up. I don’t like it.
D- What is this quality of not giving up?
P- It’s there. It is very resilient. It doesn’t want to die. I don’t relate to cockroach.
D- Any other fear?
P- To be left alone, even in friends circle.
D- What is the experience of it?
P- School in high school Very great friends. It’s not there anymore, we stopped talking. I put in a lot of efforts to build the friendship and all of it went it vain.
D- Why did you put in so much effort?
P- We were friends for a long time. You have to be there for each other, come what may. They had some misunderstandings. I tried to explain. They said we’ll reconcile but they didn’t and I felt betrayed. So many years of friendship and they didn’t give a chance
D- What are your hobbies?
P- Singing, dancing, sometimes acting (not professionally )
D- What movies do you like to watch?
P- All kinds except horror. I can’t watch horror movies. I like biographies.
D- Which?
P- Ms. dhoni
D- What did you like about him?
P- His career path. He was flaky and at that time he didn’t have a career. He wanted to pursue cricket but couldn’t. One day he just gave up and followed his dream. He could’ve chosen to have a stable path but he gave up. He is a risk-taker. Courageous, hardworking.
D- Horror movies, how do they affect you?
P- I don’t like them— I cant watch them.
D- Fear of darkness or of being alone?
P- No not darkness. In childhood a little but not much. I used to shiver in childhood.
D- When do you shiver?
P- Once, when out of a swimming pool- cold water
D- Do you like swimming?
P- No, I can’t. I just don’t like it. I can go into the pool, but I don’t like swimming.
D- Any dreams?
P- Sometimes I see my family, friends, working in a corporation.
Working there and giving commands. Subordinates 4 or 5 I think.
D- What is the opposite of giving commands?
P- I like to be the leader
D- What is the experience of being on the other end?
P- I’m happy to, I like to be the leader.
D- Anything else?
P- Last month I was very indecisive mind about career. Just finished graduation I cleared – I had 2-3 options. Job, internship.
D- Is indecisiveness your pattern?
P- Yes, but mainly because of lockdown.
