2nd May 1991

After the mental release the chemistry of drugs really began to take effect and though I had now cut back to my dose when I started, 6 mg. Depixol, 60 mg. Tryptisol, I was almost completely without energy.  This explains the simile technique.  I hadn't the energy for  anything else.  This is expressed by the pupa.  The torpid state in insects. The spirit, expressed by a bird is crushed by the maggot.  My Oedipus complex is represented by the hooded phallus.  My conflict of thought expressed by the man with two heads, one is a nose.  The clothes line is to say that all my dirty washing, or thoughts are on display.  The split crosses are a reference to schizophrenia being a type of ego crucifixion. The man with the hat is watching me and keeping everything  under his hat. Additionally the split in the cross expresses lack of real direction, of a split in the will, as with the man with a nose head.
