(The translation is too bad!) I watched it a long time ago, and I didn't get it at that time. Recently, I remembered in my struggle that after she finally took medicine and got better, she told the doctor that I was fine, but I felt that I was no longer me. When pain is romanticized into the aesthetic texture of life experience, or rationalized into ego traits, even technical means can change the "inner voice", it cannot free the soul-believer from the abyss of ego.

Elizabeth: I feel so stupid sitting in therapy. A lot of people had much harder childhoods than mine.
Dr. Sterling: We're not talking about other people. We're talking about you.
Elizabeth: [narrating] I'll give her that much, I'm the problem.

Elizabeth: I just keep thinking that, if I could just be normal, you know, if I could just get out of bed in the morning, everything would be OK.
Dr. Sterling: OK, well, what do you think normal is?
Elizabeth: Most people, you know, they cut themselves, they put a band aid on, they keep going.
Dr. Sterling: And what do you do?
Elizabeth: I just keep bleeding.
Dr. Sterling: So you think that being normal is having a wound, putting a patch on it and then just go on with your life?
Elizabeth: Isn't that what functioning is? Isn't that what living is? You know, you keep going no matter what happens to you.
Dr. Sterling: Is that the way you want to live?
