Carried: Osteo-Porosis (Porousness of the bones)

There's no support left and no love coming from above, so I grip control of everything and let nothing in.

It runs as a control-mania over a felt cosmic betrayal, an exhausted, depleted person who feels utterly unsupported and abandoned even by the divine, and answers it by trying to control everything and refusing to let love in. The grip on control is a bid for a safety nothing else provides; the closed door to love keeps the depletion fed. The clinical name is a shape, not a diagnosis. What it asks for is to let one supportive thing in that wasn't controlled into place.

The Archetypal Form

Canute, who set his throne at the tide's edge and commanded the waves to halt, spending himself against an unexpected he could not master. The form implies a task: to let the tide be, and be held anyway.
