Part 2: Chapters 2-4
So far I like how short the chapters are. I liked how they refer to the nurse’s station as the goldfish bowl — the patients are really watching and observing them versus the other way around. Alicia attacking Theo — I do agree that it is her way of communicating; I have a guess now as to why — double suicide gone wrong?? But that seems out of character based on journal entries

It’s getting intense…. I want her to talk already!!!! I wonder how much of what is going on in his life will eventually come to mirror what had gone on in her life

Chapter 6-9 — I liked the first part of chapter 6 where the author talks about babies and how they are overwhelmed with their feelings are needs their mothers to regulate themselves and if they never learn from their mothers they become anxious adults. It makes me think how fragile life really is and how much our lives are shaped by our earliest experiences — ones we can’t even remember.
