"I think sometimes when we have no control over the pain that we may be in, we find things that we can control. But that's an illusion, that's an illness, and the illness ends up controlling us, I think. And sometimes we find harmful ways of releasing the pain that's inside us."

"And if you can't stop it?"

"Well... then you get help."

"Did you?"

"The world was a different place in those days. Children were seen, not heard... and definitely not believed."

"But now you're a man."

"You know, I think that might make it even more difficult."

I am having Thoughts™ about the parallels and juxtapositions between Greg and Henrik (in both characterisation and storylines) and it is giving me Feelings™

[birdstreet]

Permanently torn between being deeply annoyed and triggered by a graphic, sensationalised self harm storyline being shown with zero trigger warnings, and being grateful that the issue adult self harm is being portrayed on primetime TV/in awe of Guy Henry's acting

I am once again trying to figure out if something is being foreshadowed in media or if I'm just projecting my own past experiences onto a character I already relate to

[birdstreet]

seriously though I can't find anyone else mentioning this (I'm 99.9% sure I didn't imagine it lol) was the blood stain that Abs pointed out on Henrik's shirt explained? Because if not then I feel like either a writer forgot to wrap up a minor plot point in the episode, or maybe this is going down the self harm route, which given what we know about Henrik's history, wouldn't surprise me. (but am I just being a plonker and missed something)

[birdstreet]

so I'm rewatching the episode, and right after Henrik has (what seems to be) a panic attack in the bathroom, he appears to head into a toilet cubicle whilst reaching into his suit jacket. I am now a solid 75% sure this is heading towards some kind of SH reveal next week. I will look very silly putting all this thought into it if not and I may well be wrong, but I really can't see it going any other way?? If this does turn out to be the case I'll be heartbroken (and triggered) but I can really see it being very in character for him. Idek.

[birdstreet]

Just read the spoilers for next week's episode and I WAS FUCKING RIGHT!! I am so sad but I CALLED IT

[birdstreet]

me? putting too much thought into fictional characters' trauma to avoid having a 3am panic attack over my own trauma? it's more likely thank you think

I'm very surprised (but pleasantly so) that Holby seems to be not skirting around Henrik's sexuality and I can't quite articulate how brilliant that is - especially in the context of an older, male, autistic CSA survivor with mental health issues.

( @lonelier-version-of-you has written much more coherently and eloquently on this but I just wanted to add my voice to the appreciation for it.)

Have you never wanted to escape? Feel that weightlessness one normally feels only in water; finally feel truly free? I’d like nothing more.
