As If A Heavy Black Cloud Had Settled All Over Her
Thinks He is in the Wrong Place
Feels as if He Had To Breathe Through a Sponge
Music Makes Her Weep
Desires To Be Let Alone
Afraid of Sharp, Pointed Things, Pins, Needles Etc.
Lingering Feeling That Something was Wrong
Cannot Concentrate the Mind to Read or Study
Time Seems Too Long
Can’t Remember if She Had Locked the Door
Constantly Theorising
As If The Words Might Make No Sense To Others
Imagines That There Are Two Babies In The Bed
Feels As Though He Has Two Wills, One Commanding Him To Do What The Other Forbids
Eight Introductory Spells (detail)
Eight Introductory Spells
His Sufferings Seem Unbearable
Will Datson: Dissociation New Series
