Sylvia starts treatment with her family doctor. It begins with sleeping pills. She is told by her family doctor she needs to go to a psychiatrist. In this episode we read through her experiences and treatment with her first psychiatrist Dr. Gordon. It's a catastrophic failure. It's torture. It's pain and judgment. She gives up on getting help after being treated by him and it contributes to her attempt to end her life because she is afraid to get help after her experiences with him. But this is not the end. I will release another episode this week to finish with her hospitalization after attempting suicide. I did absolutely no editing to this episode. I didn't even listen to it. I just read excerpts from the Bell Jar and talked. But I couldn't let you down by not releasing today just because life seems to have an unending supply of curveballs to throw at me. Thanks so much for listening! Enjoy!
