Everyone and all sorts of troubles are welcome. May we find peace and healing here. Won’t you please share the joy of WYFP by recommending?
My number one problem? I never beg for recommends.
The older I get the less I care what people think of me therefore the older I get the more I enjoy life.
My number 2 beef?
Since I got out of the show running business this place has gone to crap.
How much for the little girl?
Mostly I habit here out of sentiment and it gets my dander up when I see sockpuppet trolls take over long standing franchises because of the ennui engendered by the failure of what passes for Administration on this site.
Since the solution is always more free speech here is some more free speech by someone who is not a sockpuppet troll.
Recommend or not I’ll keep this up until people come to their senses. Your opinion of me matters… not at all.
The patient shows a response to the traumatizing event involved fear, horror or a sense of helplessness). In both scenarios, Holden was unable to step in and help both of the young victims. Holden had no control over his brother’s disease and could not have done anything to stop James Castle’s suicide. His inability to interfere has evoked feelings of helplessness. His desire to assist people similar to the victims is expressed through his desire to be the “catcher int he rye”. Holden confesses to his sister, Phoebe, “Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody’s around -nobody big, I mean - except me. And I’m standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do,I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff – I mean if they’re running and they don’t look where they’re going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them…”. Holden feels that if he is “the catcher” he can save people from the victimization diseases and bullies put on weaker individuals. It frustrates Holden to know that he cannot defend others. Specifically, he wants to protect the young and innocent, which is who he was before the traumatic events occurred in his life.

The patient’s thought content revealed evidence of delusions, paranoia, and suicidal/homicidal ideation. There was no evidence of perceptual disorder. His level of personal insight appeared unreliable. Social judgment appeared harsh, as evidenced by polite yet bitter interactions with staff and a struggle to form a relationship with other patients and by uncooperative efforts to achieve treatment goals required for discharge.The patient was admitted due to symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PSTD).The purpose of the current evaluation is to screen for signs of PSTD and clarify the nature of underlying stress disorder. After speaking with the patient and observing his verbal, behavioral,and symbolic actions, several symptoms have made this diagnosis possible. Caulfield is experiencing flashbacks, poor relationships,self-destructive behavior, hopelessness about the future, trouble sleeping, memory problems, trouble concentrating, and efforts to avoid thinking or talking about the traumatic event. He appears emotionally numb, irritable, angry, shameful,guilty, easily startled or frightened, and dissatisfied with activities he once enjoyed. A thorough analysis has taken place that has proven that Holden Caulfield meets the criteria to be diagnosed with this condition.

Specifically, he wants to protect the young and innocent, which is who he was before the traumatic events occurred in his life. Holden tells the readers, “I hate fist fights. I don’t mind getting hit so much- although I’m not crazy about it, naturally-but what scares me the most in a fist fight is the guy’s face. I can’t stand looking at the other guy’s face, is my trouble”. The “yellowness” Holden refers to is his fear to fight back against the people he feels are responsible for harming weaker individuals. He wants to stand up against the bullies and defend others, and it upsets him that he is afraid to.

People with similar profiles tend to “try to avoid situations or things that remind them of the traumatic event or feel a sense of emotional numbness”. In fact, when Mr. Spencer questions Holden’s reasons for leaving Elkton Hills, Holden responds by saying, “‘Why? Oh, well it’s a long story, dire. I mean its pretty complicated.’ I didn’t feel like going in to the whole thing with him. He wouldn’t have understood it anyway. It wasn’t up his alley at all”. After speculating the patient itis evident that the reason he is avoiding the conversation is because he does not want to speak about James Castle’s death. He admits to trying to clear his mind from death during a time that he is exhibiting depression too. Holden says, “Then what I did, I went down near the lagoon and I sort of skipped the quarters and nickel across it, where it wasn’t frozen. I don’t know why I did it, but I did it. I guess I thought it’d take my mind off getting pneumonia and dying. It didn’t though”. The patient it currently low on money and at a very high stress level. Therefore, the illness is returning and he is thinking of the tragic deaths. In order to relieve his mind of the painful memories, he copes unhealthily by furthering his money problem, drinking alcohol, and remaining at a cold desolate pond. Holden’s struggle to sleep and concentrate are more signals of a mental disease. After a long day, and feelings of restlessness all night, Holden says, “I stayed in the bathroom for about an hour taking a bath and all. Then I got back in bed. It took me quite a while to get to sleep- I wasn’t even tired-but I finally I did… I didn’t sleep too long”. In addition, when lying in bed, Holden states,”Anyway, when I was in bed, I couldn’t pray worth a damn. Every time I got started, I kept picturing old Sunny calling me a crumb-bum”. During the period of life Holden has spoken about during his analyzable sessions, his stories have missing peaces and change pace a lot due to his lack of focus.

For over a month, the symptoms are causing significant amounts of distress in the patient’s life and are interfering with his ability to go about his normal daily tasks. Thus, treatment is necessary. The patients actions confirm that he is currently dealing with a mental illness called Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I will prescribe the patient an antidepressant to relieve symptoms of depression, stress, and anxiety. The medication will also improve sleep problems and concentration. In addition I am recommending exposure therapy to assist the patient in gaining control of his emotions when reminded of the damaging situation. In addition, individual therapy will help the patient understand his feelings and learn how to think more positively. The medication and psychotherapy will allow the patient to learn proper ways to cope and regain control of his life.
You may suppose I don’t care about your problems, but I really do. I have achieved all my goals and am above mojo whoring.
What’s your beef?
