{550}{607}I have always been my worst enemy
{639}{703}Oh, my god, you are so late
{718}{771}Hudson Milbank. God, you're so late.
{887}{940}Even on the most important day on my career
{1523}{1584}I felt overwhelmed, but in certainty of what I have
{1864}{1897}I wasn't the same person anymore
{1950}{2021}I was now living in some kind of horrific perpetual dream state
{2024}{2091}Yet somewhat still able to interact without anyone knowing
{2101}{2200}is going through emotions, unautomatic
{2212}{2248}I'm afraid I will never get out of this
{2794}{2820}My life views were simple
{2849}{2904}One, I just wanted to be a happy person with happy thoughts
{2907}{2999}Two, we were all a simple action away from complete disaster
{3609}{3650}you should slow down
{3674}{3709}But I didn't want to slow down
{3726}{3758}I just want to stop my recent thoughts
{3762}{3848}constant worry and never ending anxiety
{4507}{4583}Little did I know inhaling a harmless joint 12 times in 12 minutes
{4587}{4696}could unhinge already volnurable brain and send it into the bottom of abyss
{4801}{4877}Jesus Christ
{4860}{4878}Jesus
{4940}{4955}You just smoked too much
{4962}{4986}You'll be OK
{5088}{5149}From that point onward I would suffer from a symptom
{5152}{5177}so frightening that it would consume every minute
{5182}{5267}of every hour of every day
{5305}{5384}The official name was depersonalization
{5592}{5669}No matter what I did, it wouldn't go away
{6025}{6057}So what was it exactly?
{6095}{6219}Depersonaliztion disorder, in brief, involves the persistent or a current
experience of feeling detached
{6234}{6326}as if one was an outside observer of one's mental processes or body
{6469}{6547}The sense that the external world was unreal is strange
{6561}{6613}Like living in some hellish dream like state
{6621}{6708}In layman's terms, I was fucked
{6738}{6760}Can you hear that?
{6767}{6800}Yes, I did. Is that bad?
{6866}{6906}Put your arms to your side
{6944}{6984}Now touch your nose with your forefingers
{7106}{7154}Now you can open your eyes. You are fine
{7173}{7200}that's impossible
{7213}{7245}I never joke about the head, son.
{7260}{7306}My finger hit my nostril, did you catch that?
{7318}{7343}It was close enough
{7347}{7385}But what about the nothing's real part?
{7406}{7468}Perhaps you should see a psychiatrist, or something?
{7564}{7588}I also live substentially below my means
{7600}{7678}Not what I was cheap, I was just terrified that
{7679}{7751}things get so bad that I wouldn't be able to function
{12765}{12870}that after 12 weeks of psycho therapies, if you are not better, seek
another therapist
{12881}{12921}i was on week 14 with Dr. Townsend
{12925}{12988}But we became more like friends. So i didn't mind
{13022}{13071}So the s, that's for Scott, right?
{13075}{13085}yes,
{13088}{13160}can i call you that? No.
{13177}{13238}one way to survive the endless time between therapy sessions
{13246}{13320}was to distract myself at the longest running movies ever made
{13359}{13401}these are due back Thursday
{13404}{13446}what if i watch them all tonight
{13467}{13530}ok
{13606}{13648}Dr. Townsend
{13750}{13821}Woh, I can't believe I bump into you. How are you?
{13840}{13871}fine
{13897}{13944}i was just at the video store
{14055}{14103}hey
{14224}{14382}well, i guess i will go home and wait for our next appoitment. It's
tomorrow, right?
{14400}{14416}fine
{14554}{14585}patient
{14658}{14724}the one thing that Townsend did give me was Climesipan
{14731}{14778}the directions read take as needed, which for me
{14782}{14835}was monday to friday and weekends
{14846}{14914}one blue pill was the equivalent to three domestic beers
{14929}{14991}two pills cut my feelings of hopelessness by a third
{15015}{15126}more was needed if you were, say, rejected by a shrink even trusted your
life to
{15130}{15193}I adore this sedation, but there is one drawback
{15222}{15267}sexual disfunction
{15280}{15346}it got so bad. The average sexual act did nothing for me
{15375}{15476}i had to find the most extreme 20 seconds of footage and played it over
and over until it did the trick
{15722}{15814}despite the restaruant, i decided to give Dr. Townsend another shot
{15819}{15936}after all, he was out with friends and that had nothing to do with this
dedication to me within our sessions
{16234}{16264}go on
{16281}{16349}i guess this is boring you
{16383}{16406}excuse me
{16409}{16467}you kind of fell asleep there
{16475}{16485}no
{16488}{16517}you were snoring
{16520}{16553}i was listening
{16562}{16617}because last night, i was in the bath, i figured out
{16620}{16755}that i already spent 2650 $ on sessions and i still feel crazier than i ever
did
{16758}{16780}so if you were snoring
{16784}{16869}i think you are making this bigger than it needs to be, Hudson
{16887}{16972}you'd also think those kind of prices if we ran into each other at the
restaruant
{16981}{17058}you could acknowledge me as something more than patient
{23615}{23689}where are the shoes? Got to have shoes. You know why? Cause we're
going outside
{23692}{23834}that's right, you are handsome man, i am gonna wait in the car, we got to
get this job, buddy
{24013}{24076}so how are you doing now
{24189}{24228}but that's better than in the car, right?
{24315}{24369}can't you just fight this until after the meeting?
{24372}{24409}no. I think i can manage it
{24412}{24431}ok, that's all i need
{24505}{24554}he's ready for you
{25250}{25283}sorry i am late
{25379}{25437}fuck
{25518}{25650}for some reason, just looking at her jolted me into a state of awareness
embanked the job at hand
{25653}{25803}so would you like the 50 m $ version or the 100 m $ version
{26079}{26128}that girl is an angel
{26143}{26183}what? Who?
{26202}{26252}the development girl
{26270}{26339}no, please god no
{26397}{26572}remember the last kid, the copy girl, the flower, the rain, obsessing of her
zeal
{26576}{26621}we didn't work for a year after that
{26622}{26676}well there is somehting different about this girl
{26756}{26784}alright, maybe there is
{26788}{26834}there is something very different about this girl
{26862}{27003}it's also something very different about the money coming in. Ok?
{28323}{28376}hello, is Hudson there?
{28461}{28533}yes, who is this?
{28537}{28582}Sara Harrison.
{28685}{28714}who?
{28751}{28842}i was in executive U&MI office today, sitting next to my boss
{28869}{28941}yes, hi, this is him.
{28965}{29133}i hope it's ok i'm calling. - yes, sure, of course
{29314}{29357}i was wondering if you want to get together
{29365}{29497}you and me? When?
{29695}{29792}just an ordinary everyday spoon, you've seen it a thousand times
{29806}{29875}just an ordinary piece of kitchen cutlery, see?
{30099}{30132}very impressive, where'd it go?
{30135}{30165}that's magic
{30269}{30314}that's a stupid trick, really.
{30341}{30415}you know, i've seen you before at a party a couple of weeks ago
{30423}{30491}you were sitting on a couch by youself and this dog came up to you
{30495}{30547}you fed it up with potato chip.
{30651}{30681}you looked really lonely
{30728}{30845}no, that's just the way that i appear when i am really enjoying myself
{30859}{30923}you seemed really anxious to leave.
{30943}{30964}I did?
{31007}{31088}there's so fucking noticeables about you
{31091}{31185}sorry, sweet.
{31189}{31232}i cuss when i get excited about things
{31243}{31262}that's ok
{51550}{51663}but when you tell them, you are surprised because actually it makes them
love you more
{51798}{51916}or, you tell them that you love their shirt and they end up wearing it every
day
{51920}{52070}a greatest example. This is my grandparents
{52098}{52150}my grandma's already had arthratis in her hand
{52154}{52245}and she cant bend down and paint her toes
{52248}{52303}so my grandfather does it for her
{52339}{52373}all the time
{52436}{52504}even though he has arthratis in his hands too
{52638}{52691}so do you like the place?
{52783}{52817}i like you
{53699}{53785}what are you doing?
{53827}{53860}you can't sleep?
{53930}{53988}you want to turn on the tv?
{54263}{54341}how many girls could fall asleep to the greater heart for open
{54345}{54433}maybe a lot, but this was the first one i've ever met
{54644}{54736}i never want to see you back here, never again. You understand?
{54818}{54877}i couldn't hide my condition from her forever
{54880}{54957}if i had any chance with Sara, i had to speed up my recovery
{54961}{55027}so i went with another doctor specilized in a big word
{55030}{55102}(psychopharmacology) which meant fuck talking, take drugs
{55122}{55205}so Dr. Richmond, here is the thing
{55238}{55319}i have met and, i think, fall in love with this the most beautiful,
{55320}{55428}incredible, weird woman on the face of the planet
{55462}{55482}she's so pretty
{55486}{55550}she thinks she's a big head, but she doesn't
{55553}{55634}and last night, we consummated our relationship, which is to say
{55637}{55719}that i had sex. We had sex
{55782}{55857}and it should've felt really good
{55860}{55943}but i was so focused on..cing the pen i stole
{55946}{55989}which she saw me steal, but i told her i'd returned it
{55993}{56041}but i didn't return it. I just stole another pen
{56042}{56117}so all that was flying through my brain when i was supposed to.
{56121}{56212}so fucking, help, fuck, help
{56385}{56443}on a crowded elevator, do you stand at the back or the front?
{56475}{56490}what?
{56524}{56591}on a crowded elevator, do you step at the back or the front?
{56595}{56698}back. Front
{56781}{56936}although sometimes i found myself looking up at the numbers cause i get
nervous
{56967}{57008}do you have ever had voices coming from your television set?
{57012}{57104}that our part of the show? No.
{57200}{57277}i think we will begin with divalproic sodium
{57281}{57313}what's an divalproic sodium?
{57317}{57373}technically, an antipsychotic.
{57376}{57421}psychotic? I'm psychotic?
{57424}{57442}no
{57446}{57508}because i feel psychotic, sometimes
{57529}{57577}the fact you are asking the question proves that you are not
{57581}{57627}then why am i taking psychotic medication?
{57630}{57742}because in small doses, it can be quite helpful with mood which i think is
contributing to your problem
{57772}{57818}but i thought that's why i am on chlorazipan
{57845}{57887}somone from Harvard prescribed them?
{57899}{57924}yes,
{57952}{57968}idiots.
{57980}{58004}you stop that immediately.
{58007}{58068}is this gonna help with my depersonalization?
{58071}{58115}that's what we're gonna find out
{58134}{58160}well, what about the side effects?
{58163}{58209}nothing's to be concerned about
{58505}{58554}have you taken any anti-psychotic before?
{58557}{58586}no, i am not psychotic
{58589}{58619}i already asked if i am a psychotic
{58622}{58670}and apparently they've proven it that i am not psychotic
{58673}{58776}i'm taking it for depersonalization
{58821}{58858}are you awared of the side efffects?
{58862}{58917}i was told there is nothing to be concernted about
{58930}{59051}allergation, constipation, dry eyes, dry nose, dry mouth, difficulty in
urinating
{59132}{59174}nothing's to be concerned about
{59330}{59410}tardive dyskinesia. A permanent twitching of the facial muscles
{59492}{59514}fuck
{59517}{59543}my alternatives were slim
{59547}{59636}permanent spaciness or rare-inreversible facial twitching
{61372}{61390}where've you been?
{61435}{61451}what? Here
{61454}{61503}i've been calling you, and calling
{61537}{61568}what time is it?
{61593}{61621}it's almost 4
{61709}{61761}i fell asleep
{61807}{61844}i fell asleep in the bathroom
{62133}{62159}Hudson, what's going on?
{62251}{62273}nothing
{62349}{62384}Huston, tell me what's going on?
{62387}{62449}nothing.
{62454}{62490}i want to know
{62642}{62696}the technical term for it is depersonalization
{62700}{62786}but i cann't explain it to you what that is because you don't have it
{62789}{62838}can you please try?
{62977}{63063}it's like when i feel anxious, which is all the time
{63066}{63188}my relationship with the reality is all screwed up
{63309}{63413}i look at my hand, and it just doesn't feel
{63491}{63562}like now, i see your lips moving, and I hear you talking
{63565}{63618}but it just doesn't feel real to me
{63622}{63659}i don't feel real to you?
{63718}{63745}this all started with the pot
{63749}{63771}you think it's the pot?
{63775}{63830}no, i don't think pot can do that, baby.
{63876}{63968}yeah, i don't want to tell you because i didn't think you'd want to be with
me
{87316}{87445}but thing is they are. Nothing can even happen on that level
{87448}{87512}i'm sorry
{87619}{87649}the door...
{87652}{87735}thanks
{88157}{88171}bullshit
{88175}{88252}she said it's the first time she'd sex in 7 years
{88256}{88279}bullshit
{88283}{88342}it was like having a wounded animal on top of me
{88346}{88370}that is so wrong
{88374}{88420}what would i do?
{88423}{88465}isn't it obvious?
{88468}{88529}try to see her without having to pay
{88678}{88798}it is absolutely my fault. Inexcusable
{88801}{88997}i want you to know that i have spoken to a colleague to find someone to
take over your sessions
{89000}{89051}who can make me say death?
{89055}{89179}there is no other way here. I could lose my license
{89183}{89277}i can't see another therapist, it has to be you
{89280}{89391}Hudson, a terrible line has been crossed
{89394}{89526}can't we just forget about what happened?
{89679}{89760}you could do that?
{89764}{89862}yes.
{90064}{90102}the first time was exciting,
{90106}{90181}now having her ride all over me, i realized that i was letting her use me
{90184}{90256}so i could use her so she worked harder making me better
{90259}{90313}i'd become a cognitive whore
{91393}{91517}so, is it this prune juice then the death, is it the tread effect?
{91520}{91585}seriously you still banning the shrink?
{91588}{91626}i am afraid to break it off
{91630}{91740}she is doing over sexual research while canceling her appointments with
other patients
{91743}{91775}Woo, this has to get bad.
{91778}{91805}Hudson?
{91953}{92008}I think we should have some lunch
{92012}{92046}what do I do? Have lunch.
{92319}{92445}i thought it would be safer to say what i am about to say in public
{92448}{92547}obviously, somethings happened to my emotions
{92551}{92624}my behavior has been... fuck off!
{92673}{92724}unacceptable
{92727}{92769}that can happen
{92773}{92807}no, it cant
{92810}{92899}did you witness my tone with the waiter just then?
{92903}{92956}i did catch that
{92960}{93061}it has to stop, Hudson. Us, we, this.
{93064}{93107}i agree
{93111}{93225}i was up all night analyzing my actions, breeding myself
{93263}{93305}i go to sleep that way every night, so
{93309}{93359}thank you for saying that. Sure
{93391}{93456}i suppose i have spent some many years
{93460}{93524}listening to other people's feelings that
{93527}{93571}i've neglected my own
{93574}{93667}it's all coming out now here in the restaruant in front of all these people
{93720}{93815}which is something i have to deal with, and i will deal with
{93841}{93883}i feel so much better
{93928}{93968}god, even my hunger is back
{93972}{93995}the tuna looks good
{94091}{94209}it's not good, i love you, Hudson
{94212}{94234}what?
{94238}{94313}i love you
{94417}{94509}i am so sorry, i didn't mean to raise my voice that like
{94513}{94559}i though you were dealing with it
{94563}{94666}i am, it's just i cannot get you out of my mind
{94670}{94745}sure you can, look at me, i am a mess, you don't want that
{94748}{94797}i am flattered that you think have these feelings
{94800}{94848}no i don't think i have them
{94851}{94999}15 years of cognitive training i might just know a little something about
the feelings
{95096}{95201}god, what is wrong with me. I'am acting like an insame person.
{95205}{95239}will u forgive me? Yes
{95243}{95275}i think we should go.
{95278}{95303}sure
{95307}{95373}i will just ask one question
{95377}{95409}can we wait until we get out of the restaruant?
{95412}{95478}no, you need to know now
{95482}{95641}do you think under different circumstances you will feel the same way
about me?
{95645}{95729}i think you need to calm down
{95732}{95862}calm down? I think i know how i am
{95866}{95913}and i certainly know how you are
{96270}{96301}i love you!
{96467}{96489}run!
{96539}{96632}it just occured to me i haven't even met your family
{96635}{96666}so how'd it go with the therapist?
{96775}{96799}Mr. MilBenk? This is the office of professor Paula Simon, Mountainside
school of medicine.
{96883}{96907}We received your enquiry regarding your depersonalization study
{96952}{97097}A spot has become available. Please contact us at your convenience.
{97136}{97264}Dr. Paula Simon was the only doctor in North American researching
depersonalization specifically
{97267}{97365}but i was determined to get through the four day intensive no matter what
{97369}{97536}plus it would be a relief to finally meet depersonalized people as i was
beginning to think i was the only one
{97824}{97843}where are the others?
{97847}{97866}others?
{97869}{97933}other crazy test patients, like me
{97936}{97978}just you this weekend, sweetheart
{97981}{98082}i will draw your blood for every hour only hour for 72 hours
{98146}{98178}you're kidding
{98181}{98235}that's funny, everyone says that
{98249}{98290}You'll see Dr. Simon on Sunday
{98318}{98362}i am the most selfish person in the world
{98365}{98466}i blew the best thing that could happen to me because i was afraid
