So, a few days ago I asked for help with a patient whose sense of paranoia is so powerful that it causes him to hallucinate during the day, and to enter astonishing dreams at night. I mentioned that for several nights he saw an uncountable number of individual eyes, and it profoundly depressed him - for it evoked the loneliness and sense of separation plaguing the entire human race. It is only through use of imagination and trickery that I am able to convince him not to commit su***de each day.
What say you, experts of life? Help me out. What could I say to the guy you would say if you felt compelled to try to save his life. Come on. I'll share the fee with you if you help out. We have to save him in order to get paid.,
In my original agreement with the guy I told him that he need not pay me until he no longer needs me to convince him several times a week that he should not commit su***de. He must agree to remain alive until our next meeting. So far so good. But I'm running out of ways to convince him. Help me out, purveyors of life. If he pays me, I pay you.
Who prompted me to write something? Who is that masked man?
