of my room?

No.

Come in.

I want to talk

about the whole pajamas thing.

What's the problem?

The problem is I've been forced

to wear pajamas in the middle of the day.

It's health board regulations,

to distinguish you from day patients.

It's f***ing ridiculous.

They took my clothes.

They're too small. I look like an idiot.

You look fine, Jonathan.

Everyone is wearing them.

We can look at these sheets in a moment.

So, therapy sessions.

Three times a week at 2:00.

This must be the nutcase class, is it?

Come in. Grab a seat.

We're getting started.

Fantastic.

I haven't missed anything, have I?

This is Jonathan Breech, everyone.

He's joining our group.

So, why don't you all introduce yourselves?

- Rachel.

- Toby.

That's Leslie and...

...Nick.

- No, you haven't missed anything.

- Well, that's good news.

Yeah, my name is Jonathan Breech,

and I'm 19 years of age.

And I'm really looking forward

to the next few weeks...

...to all I learn about everyone.

But more importantly,

about myself and my own problems.

Thanks. Next?

We've all been together here as a group

for a few weeks now...

...and we've been sharing

our thoughts, so...

Let me just ask you

how you feel at the moment...

...and whether there's anything

that you feel you want to tell us.

She's cute.

Do you have a boyfriend?

That'll be a "no," then.

Okay. Let's just look

at this list then, shall we?

On your sheets,

you'll see a list of situations...

...that some people find difficult,

things we're somewhat afraid of.

I don't know about you.

Doctor, I don't know about him.

- It's okay, Nick. He's a patient.

- I wouldn't trust him.

It's fine. Fine.

What I want you to do

is to tick off any of these items here...

...that particularly trouble you.

Excuse me.

Filling out forms really scares me.

That's okay, Toby. You can just leave it.

It's not that important.

No, I was joking.

- You're funny.

- Thanks, Doctor.

Actually, it was quite funny.

All right. I'm out of here. See you.

You're not going to help yourself

by running away, Jonathan.

No, you know, you're right, Doctor, no.

Why don't you show us how it's done?

Tell us a bit about yourself.

What scares you?

I want to know if there's anything

in particular that worries you.

I'd be happy to go through it with you

sometime if you're really interested, but...

...we're not here to talk about me.

You know what I mean?

- Sounds like denial to me.

- No, it's not denial.

- Now you sound angry.

- I'm not angry either.

Sometimes it's good to be angry.

I don't think it's

an appropriate conversation for the group.

Fine. If you don't feel comfortable

talking about it.

But I believe you said I was running away.
