You decide to do a full Freudian psychoanalysis

You get out a big notebook, a nice pen, and just let your roommate start talking while lying down on the couch because it seems like that’s how it’s supposed to be done from the movies. You refuse to take any simple explanations and start developing a full psychosexual roadmap of your roommate because as you started pulling on emotional threads, it felt like you were at the start of something absolutely crazy.

You really start prying into Sarah’s relationship with her mom and dad and how she doesn’t get to spend any quality time with her dad anymore. They’re both retired and vacationing all the time, meanwhile she’s slaving away to achieve her PhD in mathematics.

It begins to start sounding like she has an Electra complex and secretly wants to kill her mother to be with her father. It’s a clear sign that she’s in locked in a never-ending psychosexual competition with her mother over her father’s affection. The more you get into her head the weirder it is. This Dini thing was just the tip of the iceberg.

What do you do?

Okay, this is way over your head, you should tell her to get some help.

You think it has to do with her relationship with her father. Tell her to confront him

You know exactly what drug she needs; you should prescribe her some Tranquilix, something you saw in a commercial. It has the tag line “Find your normal again” which sounds like what she needs (you are not a Medical Dr.)
