| Narrating | CA: Is there something that you would like to bring up in the conversation today? |
| Primary narrator: Yes, people invite you to their homes and you wish to go |
| Conversational leader A: mm |
| Primary narrator: and you think that you have to be there in time, but this illness… |
| Conversational leader B: mm |
| PN: you can start in the morning and make plans for the rest of the day and at evening, you have done nothing |
| CB: mm |
| PN: you are not able to finish it |
| SN: it’s terribly hard for example, if I start to remind you at eleven o’clock that we are supposed to be ready at three |
| CA: mm |
| SN: we will not make it to three anyhow |
| CA: no |
| PN: you can, you think, today I will do that and that |
| SN: then she finds out other things to do instead of focusing on what needs to be done. So I say, only do what you should and nothing else. And it doesn’t work |
|
| Exploring | CB: has it always been like this? |
| PN: no |
| CB: is it something that has appeared now? |
| PN: yes, before, I managed to do everything |
| CB: yes, but you have always had many things going on simultaneously? |
| PN: yes of course, I used to have many things going on simultaneously but suddenly... Now days, when I wish to do something then, I just do it. But I don’t get more than halfway and it looks like a total mess but you are supposed to be on your way somewhere. And you got so tired just thinking about it. You become exhausted, thinking about your failures all the time |
| CA: yes, do you demand too much of yourself? |
| PN: yes… I don’t know |
| CA: that you should be able to do as many things as before? |
| PN: yes I think so, you can’t but you do that…you can’t but I do |
| SN: yes and that becomes distressing. And she has, at times…sometimes she is blocked, she can’t move, and sometimes she becomes hyperactive with tremor and twitching |
| PN: yes, maybe I should, just as you say, accept everything |
