Woman, 70, back pain.
She is not comfortable in her own skin and feels insecure about herself. She is not physically strong, and as a child she could not join in with others. She doesn't feel at home anywhere.

She is given Lorazepam for this and cannot stop.

She married the second one because she felt she had to marry him. He was very honest but also very inter world intellectual and that didn't suit her. That is why she later decided to divorce again. The close relationship was with a nice, warm and original man. But his affairs often went wrong, he had other girlfriends and drank a lot of alcohol. That's why she stopped the relationship with him.
Her mother was a very creative person who loved dancing, singing and painting. She was more into art and paid little attention to her children.
