00:00:00[sil.] 

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.

00:00:00[sil.] 

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.
