00:00:15OFF CAMERA Your roommates, Rachel and Liz, shared some information with me. They said that you were fine, and that shortly after your aunt died, that you started acting in a different sort of strange way. Started having thoughts and hearing things that others couldn't hear.
00:00:35JESS They think I'm living in a movie. Rachel and Liz. That's who they think I am. I see a lot of movies. So maybe they're right. Maybe I am a movie
00:00:45OFF CAMERA I'm not sure I understand how you can be a movie.
00:00:45JESS Because they listen to our apartment.
00:00:50[Whispers]
00:00:50JESS They listen from next door.
00:00:50OFF CAMERA Who listens?
00:00:55JESS Russian men and whores. They drill all night long. That's how they send their information back. Drilling.
00:01:05OFF CAMERA Drilling. They send messages by drilling?
00:01:10JESS Doesn't surprise me. Most people don't understand.
00:01:15OFF CAMERA Your roommates said that your favorite aunt that died, she's the one who raised you.
00:01:20JESS Maybe she did. Maybe she didn't. Who told you? Can you prove it? I can't.
00:01:30OFF CAMERA Liz and Rachel told me.
00:01:30JESS Good for them.
00:01:35OFF CAMERA And your roommates said you had some new neighbors that moved in. Are these the neighbors you're talking about?
00:01:45JESS They're not neighbors. They're Russians. They don't answer their door. I tried to banging on their door and they didn't answer. Figures. I mean they only speak English. They don't speak English, they speak Russian in code.
00:02:00OFF CAMERA You know, your roommate, Rachel, told me your new neighbors speak Spanish. They speak Spanish.
00:02:10JESS They lie. But what do you expect?
00:02:15OFF CAMERA What do they do? Your neighbors?
00:02:20JESS I don't want to talk about this any more.
00:02:25OFF CAMERA You know, Jess, I imagine what you are experiencing right now feels very frightening. I hear from a lot of the people who, hear voices that maybe aren't there, that it's very frightening. And it's upsetting. Are you experiencing anything like that?
00:02:40JESS Yes. I hear them talking when no one else can. I mean not Rachel, not Liz. That's why I went down to my car yesterday. Because if I'm very, very still, the Russians can't code me.
00:02:55OFF CAMERA What do you mean code you?
00:03:00JESS You know. You act like you don't know, but you know.
00:03:05OFF CAMERA How long did you stay in your car?
00:03:10JESS Six hours. I watched them move in and out.
00:03:15OFF CAMERA So do you sometimes see things that your roommates don't see?
00:03:20JESS No. But I know things that they don't know.
00:03:30OFF CAMERA Jess, I realize it is difficult sometimes for people to tell me things but it really helps me with their background. Has anything happened recently? Anything traumatic?
00:03:40JESS I think that secret government papers are traumatic. Like blueprints. I mean, they have blueprints of buildings. My apartment is a building.
00:03:55OFF CAMERA What are the blueprints?
00:03:55JESS They're all over the walls. That's what they want.
00:04:00OFF CAMERA The neighbors?
00:04:00JESS The Russians. They're terrorists. You'll find out too late.
00:04:10OFF CAMERA Has anyone else seen these blueprints Jess?
00:04:10JESS I can stop them from seeing them. I covered the walls, I marked up the walls. I just need more markers.
00:04:20OFF CAMERA Jess, do you drink alcohol or take drugs?
00:04:25JESS My body is my temple. No.
00:04:30OFF CAMERA Have you been taking any prescription medications?
00:04:35JESS Yes I did. I was.
00:04:40OFF CAMERA So you stopped taking your medications?
00:04:45JESS Yes I stopped taking my medications. The medications were part of the problem. But you know all about that, don't you?
00:04:55OFF CAMERA Jess, do you have any thoughts of hurting yourself, or hurting any other people?
00:05:00JESS Rachel and Lizzy? I don't think they're in on it. Time will tell.

00:00:15OFF CAMERA Mr. Feldman? I understand you called us last week for an appointment.
00:00:20MR. FELDMAN My parents.
00:00:25OFF CAMERA Excuse me?
00:00:25MR. FELDMAN My parents called for the appointment.
00:00:25OFF CAMERA Oh. Do you know why your parents called for an appointment?
00:00:30MR. FELDMAN No.
00:00:35OFF CAMERA When your parents called me they said you were having some difficulty in school. Where are you in school?
00:00:50MR. FELDMAN State College.
00:00:50OFF CAMERA How long have you been at State College?
00:00:55MR. FELDMAN My freshman year.
00:01:00OFF CAMERA And how is it going?
00:01:05MR. FELDMAN Fine.
00:01:10OFF CAMERA What courses are you taking at State?
00:01:15MR. FELDMAN In high school I took advanced placement courses. Theoretical physics, advanced calculus is what I'm taking now. Although I'm thinking about double majoring in philosophy and physics.
00:01:35OFF CAMERA That's an interesting combination.
00:01:35MR. FELDMAN Yes, the mysteries of life. The courses are mysteries, and just when you think you've understood it, it's gone.
00:01:45OFF CAMERA Gone?
00:01:50MR. FELDMAN The totality of life precludes us from repeating it. I mean what's the point?
00:02:00OFF CAMERA Do you have a roommate at state?
00:02:05MR. FELDMAN You could call him that.
00:02:10OFF CAMERA Can you tell me about him?
00:02:15MR. FELDMAN Oh no.
00:02:15OFF CAMERA Why not?
00:02:20[sil.]
00:02:25MR. FELDMAN He put a microwave in there, but I know what that means. But I won't tell. Not a word..
00:02:35OFF CAMERA A microwave oven?
00:02:40MR. FELDMAN They had them in here too, in this building. But they'll spare me, and they'll spare you too, because you are with me, and what that's about a bleeding degeneration of blood cells, bleeding the humanity from our rightful destiny... but this room spies on us.
00:03:05OFF CAMERA I don't understand what you mean.
00:03:10MR. FELDMAN It's in the eyes. You can hold of forever if you know how.
00:03:20OFF CAMERA Mr. Feldman, did you come here with anyone else today?
00:03:25[sil.]
00:03:30MR. FELDMAN Sssshhhh.
00:03:35OFF CAMERA Mr. Feldman, I think I may need to contact your parents.

00:00:15>> I see in your chart that you asked
00:00:15your family physician to
00:00:20prescribe oxycodone for your elbow pain,
00:00:20and that your family physician
00:00:25is worried that some of other medications,
00:00:30drugs you may use may interact with the oxycodone?
00:00:35>> Oxycodone is that's the same as OxyContin?
00:00:35>> Yeah. Oxycodone is the generic name.
00:00:40>> Yeah, I did ask for OxyContin,
00:00:45but I don't take any other medications or drugs.
00:00:50I'm opposed to putting anything unhealthy in my body.
00:00:55>> Okay. What else have you tried?
00:01:00>> Nothing else works.
00:01:00>> Ibuprofen, acetaminophen?
00:01:00>> Not even close.
00:01:05>> No?
00:01:05>> Yeah. I mean,
00:01:05I'm allergic to codeine.
00:01:05>> Allergic?
00:01:05>> Yeah, like in Tylenol three.
00:01:10A little while back, my friend
00:01:10was in a motorcycle accident and had some leftover,
00:01:15and I tried one of those,
00:01:15and I was way allergic.
00:01:20>> What was the allergic response you had?
00:01:25>> My face flushed like real bad,
00:01:25besides it didn't work.
00:01:30>> Have you tried morphine?
00:01:30>> Well, that's addictive, isn't it?
00:01:35>> Yeah, well all the pain medications
00:01:35or most of them are addictive.
00:01:35Anti-inflammatory medications are not usually addictive.
00:01:45>> Yeah, I tried morphine and the codeine, didn't work.
00:01:50>> Okay.
00:01:50>> Yeah, I get headaches too,
00:01:55so ideally I need something that works for both.
00:02:00I'd rather not take two medications if I don't have to.
00:02:05Less medications the better,
00:02:05that's what grandma always said.
00:02:05>> Grandma? Okay.
00:02:05>> Yeah.
00:02:10>> Have you ever tried Dilaudid?
00:02:10>> Yeah. They gave that to me in the ER once,
00:02:15but just made me dizzy and constipated.
00:02:20Constipated for like a month.
00:02:25>> Oh, wow.
00:02:25>> I almost had to go back to
00:02:25the hospital for constipation.
00:02:25Can you imagine having to go to
00:02:25the hospital for constipation?
00:02:30>> Oh my goodness.
00:02:30>> Yeah, that's how bad it was.
00:02:30>> Have you tried Demerol?
00:02:35>> Yeah, it kind of worked for my headache.
00:02:40It comes in a shot, right?
00:02:40>> Yeah. An injection.
00:02:45>> Yeah, they gave that to me at the hospital.
00:02:45But that's the thing, you
00:02:50can only get it at the hospital,
00:02:50so it's not like it's going to work for me everyday.
00:02:55It didn't do anything for my elbow.
00:02:55OxyContin it's the only thing that works for both.
00:03:00The only thing that works for both.
00:03:00>> You do seem set on the oxycodone?
00:03:00>> Because it works.
00:03:05>> What else have you tried other than medications?
00:03:10>> Other than medications?
00:03:10>> Yeah.
00:03:10>> Yoga.
00:03:10>> Okay.
00:03:10>> Yeah. Tried that. Other kinds of meditation.
00:03:20I mean, that's the thing with meditation is,
00:03:20it works while you're doing it,
00:03:25but then as soon as you stop, zilch. Biofeedback.
00:03:30>> Good.
00:03:30>> One doc tried that, same thing.
00:03:30Works while you're doing it,
00:03:35but then when you stop doesn't help at all. What else?
00:03:40Like warm, hot compresses,
00:03:45candles, long walks on the beach, massages.
00:03:50>> Wow.
00:03:50>> My boyfriend is really good at massages actually.
00:03:55He's studied with this guru in India.
00:03:55>> Oh, wow.
00:03:55>> Yeah, swear to God
00:04:00>> You have tried a lot of solutions.
00:04:00Let me ask you more about your medication history.
00:04:05>> I only take stuff for my headache and my elbow.
00:04:10>> Okay.
00:04:15>> Like I said, I don't like
00:04:15putting unhealthy things in my body.
00:04:15Vitamins, I take vitamins.
00:04:20>> Yeah? Okay.
00:04:20>> Like fish oils, some supplements,
00:04:20but nothing corporate, nothing pharmaceutical.
00:04:25I don't want to put that in me.
00:04:30Even coming here today,
00:04:35asking for this, it goes against my values.
00:04:35>> I see. Okay.
00:04:35>> But I got to function.
00:04:40>> Do you drink alcohol?
00:04:40>> On special occasions
00:04:45like weddings, funerals, birthdays.
00:04:50I got a ton of friends, so
00:04:50whenever we have a birthday we're going to drink.
00:04:55Let me think, like holidays,
00:04:55New Years, and Christmases.
00:05:00There's Christmas and then we also celebrate
00:05:05Russian Orthodox Christmas on January 7th.
00:05:10>> How often on the average?
00:05:15>> When you add it all up,
00:05:15once, maybe twice a week, I guess.
00:05:20>> Will you drink enough to get intoxicated?
00:05:20>> Depends on who I'm drinking with.
00:05:25As Zane, that's my boyfriend,
00:05:30he drinks a lot, so
00:05:30I drink a little more when I'm with him.
00:05:30>> Any legal problems from the drinking?
00:05:35>> Once. So dumb.
00:05:40Yeah, just one little charge for drinking.
00:05:45I was the tiniest little bit over the limit.
00:05:45So yeah, I got that and I had to take that course,
00:05:50that stupid, boring course.
00:05:50But I learned my lesson. If you're
00:05:55a little bit over the limit,
00:05:55stick to the back roads.
00:05:55>> So you will still drive?
00:06:00>> Well, yeah, but I'm super careful.
00:06:00>> You think after you've been drinking,
00:06:05that's an okay idea to drive?
00:06:05>> It's better than letting Zano drive.
00:06:10>> Zano?
00:06:10>> Zane, Zano, same person.
00:06:15Yeah. He doesn't even have his license anymore.
00:06:15Not that it stops him.
00:06:20>> What about marijuana?
00:06:20>> Do I use it?
00:06:25>> Yeah.
00:06:25>> Marijuana medically helps with my headaches,
00:06:30so yeah, I use it.
00:06:35It's my right. Yeah, it's
00:06:35your right. It's everybody's right.
00:06:40>> How often?
00:06:40>> Not often.
00:06:45Two, four times a week, sometimes none.
00:06:50It's expensive. Then when you do get some,
00:06:55suddenly everybody is your best friend and you
00:06:55got to share, you know how it is.
00:06:55>> Do you ever grow marijuana?
00:07:00>> I used to. But then we
00:07:05moved and it's not legal in this backward state.
00:07:05Where we live it's pretty public,
00:07:10its not really private.
00:07:10>> Do you ever have any side effects
00:07:15from using marijuana like memory problems?
00:07:15>> I was born with memory problems,
00:07:20Doc, I don't think it's from the marijuana.
00:07:20>> Any legal trouble with the marijuana?
00:07:25>> Once. I mean, I'm super careful.
00:07:30But Zano, he went away for
00:07:30a year for selling
00:07:35the tiniest little bit to an undercover cop,
00:07:35which is total entrapment,
00:07:40which is how I lost custody of Camper.
00:07:40>> Camper?
00:07:45>> My son.
00:07:45>> Oh.
00:07:45>> Yeah. He's staying with
00:07:45my ex husband's parents right now.
00:07:50They take good care of him.
00:07:50>> How long have you been divorced?
00:07:55>> Oh no, I never married that guy.
00:07:55>> Oh.
00:07:55>> No way I would marry that jerk.
00:08:00No, I don't know.
00:08:00It's been like four years since I've even seen him.
00:08:05Something like that, four years.
00:08:05>> What happened?
00:08:10>> Lucas, my ex,
00:08:10he freaked out because he caught
00:08:15me doing just a few lines of coke,
00:08:15but everybody was doing it back then.
00:08:20Anyway, his mom found the mirror,
00:08:25and the razors, and Lucas said I had to quit.
00:08:30For whatever I lied,
00:08:35and when he caught me,
00:08:35I know it was bad to lie about that,
00:08:40but I don't know it's in the past.
00:08:45Water under the bridge. You live, you learn, you move on.
00:08:45>> Right. Do you use cocaine now?
00:08:50>> No, hardly ever.
00:08:55I don't know, it's been like a month maybe,
00:08:55or two months or something since I have.
00:08:55>> Any legal problems from using cocaine?
00:09:05>> No, we hardly ever do it.
00:09:10>> Have you thought about stopping altogether?
00:09:15>> I hardly ever do it.
00:09:15Hardly even counts.
00:09:20I don't know, when I do it,
00:09:20it's just to relieve tension
00:09:20or it's this thing Zano
00:09:25and I do to bring each other closer together,
00:09:30but I could quit anytime I wanted, easy.
00:09:35>> Does your boyfriend have children?
00:09:35>> Yeah, he's got two kids.
00:09:40Yeah, but we don't see them much.
00:09:45His other with his ex.
00:09:45>> Oh?
00:09:50>> She's a real snobby type. You know the type?
00:09:50It is a freaking tragedy
00:09:55because I see his two kids
00:09:55just going down that same path.
00:10:00They're just two little snobs.
00:10:00It's a real shame.
00:10:05We're not allowed to see them anymore though,
00:10:10so I guess like what's the difference?
00:10:10She went to court and said we were unsuitable.
00:10:15Not suitable.
00:10:20Says it all real nice in court,
00:10:20and then not so nice over the phone,
00:10:20if you know what I mean?
00:10:25She's a real bitch.
00:10:25>> Any other drugs?
00:10:25Ecstasy? LSD?
00:10:35>> This is going to make me sound like I'm
00:10:35some 1970s hippy, druggo person.
00:10:40I've tried ecstasy twice,
00:10:45just twice, and LSD once, last year.
00:10:50That was a bad trip. I am not doing that again.
00:10:55>> Anything else?
00:10:55>> Like what?
00:11:00>> Stimulants?
00:11:00>> Like power drinks if I need to stay up?
00:11:05>> Sure
00:11:05>> Caffeine, I drink a lot of coffee.
00:11:10I don't know if cigarettes,
00:11:10do they count as stimulants?
00:11:10>> Yeah.
00:11:10>> Yeah, I'm trying to cut back.
00:11:15Two packs a day.
00:11:15>> Ritalin, Dexedrine?
00:11:20>> Oh, stimulants?
00:11:20>> Right
00:11:20>> Oh, yeah. Not a lot.
00:11:25Like hardly ever.
00:11:25I mean, if Zano and I are down for whatever reason,
00:11:30or sluggish from smoking pot,
00:11:35or just like if I need to get back up again.
00:11:35Yeah, Adderall, just 20 helps.
00:11:40>> Do you ever take prescription medications
00:11:40that are not prescribed for you?
00:11:45>> Well, are you kidding me?
00:11:45Why would I do that?
00:11:50I told you I don't like medications in the first place.
00:11:50>> Klonopin, Ativan, Xanax?
00:11:55>> Those?
00:11:55>> Yeah.
00:12:00>> Yeah, if my anxiety is acting up,
00:12:05if my meditation isn't working?
00:12:10Yeah, a couple Xana bars,
00:12:10but not a lot.
00:12:10>> How often would you estimate that is?
00:12:15>> I don't know.
00:12:20Two? I don't know.
00:12:20I need like a freaking calendar to keep up with
00:12:25all your questions, Doc, God.
00:12:25>> So in the past,
00:12:30who prescribed the oxycodone for you?
00:12:30>> No one yet. Zano he
00:12:35takes them because he's got shoulder and back problems,
00:12:40and I tried one and it really works.
00:12:45To be honest it works fantastic.
