Carried: Chemotherapy Reaction (Nausea, vomiting, itching, loss of hair, etc.)

Bottom line, I feel I blew my life and didn't measure up, so I've been trying to atone by turning on myself.

It shows as a verdict of having failed at life, a self-disgust and shame that says I should have done better and holds one personally accountable for everything, answered by self-punishment and the repudiation of one's own wants. Beneath it lies a returned infant helplessness, the old abandonment reopened. It was set by a role-reversing, perfectionistic family who leaned on the child for everything and allowed no room to fall short. Where the self-punishment runs deep, its care belongs with someone trained to help. What it asks for is to let the sentence of unfitness be appealed rather than carried out.

The Archetypal Form

The hunger artist, who starved himself for others' regard and, still feeling unfit, kept fasting past all reason to prove a worth he never felt. The form implies a task: to stop starving oneself to atone for a failure that was never wholly one's own.
