“It slipped my mind, and for a time, I felt completely free”
Jodie was born in the sunny state of California. Perhaps it was the constant sunshine, but growing up she was seldom unhappy. It was obvious, in fact, that she was the happiest of her two brothers; Jason and Jordan. She lived a simple life, but she liked it that way. She had all she needed, and her naivety made her believe that everyone in her family felt the same way.
But with time, she learned the hard way that this was untrue. Her parents never got along anymore, and this led her father to have an affair with his assistant. Jodie had always been quite close to her father, but when the family discovered the infidelity, she resented him. Worst of all, however, was her eldest brother, Jordan. The boy had been battling depression for years and no one knew about it. His mind was so clouded, that he saw no way out. And on the Perry’s annual family trip to Bonny Doon Beach Cliffs, Jordan jumped and drowned himself. No one was paying attention except for Jodie, who saw everything. Even though she was too young to understand what had happened, the memory never left her and onset a series of episodes later in her life.
It began with inconsistent feelings of being disconnected from everything - like having a prolonged out of body experience. She brushed it off in hopes that the feeling would go away, but it became worse. Soon enough it was a few times a week. Then it was everyday, and it never went away. She felt like the world was in two dimensions and that she was seeing everything through a screen. She couldn’t tell what was real and what wasn’t because of the disruption in her perception. Her whole world seemed like a real life video game. Functioning became almost impossible for Jodie, and before she knew it, she was going through her days in fear and anxiety. The old Jodie, who was happy and carefree, now gone.
One day, she decided that she couldn’t take it anymore. What was the use of living when he felt as though he had lost touch with reality? Hastily, she ventured to the highest part of her roof in a final attempt to end it all - just as her brother had done years before. Thankfully, her mother found her before she had the chance to go through with it.
After innumerable trips to multiple doctors, they figured out what was wrong with Jodie. Her episodes were a result of her depersonalization disorder, and it was decided that going to Recupero was her best shot at getting better.
