You gotta be careful, because if you don't go far back enough, you'll end up lobotomized in some kind of haunted house. Go too far back and, especially as a woman, you'll be labeled "hysterical" or worse then exiled or killed. You gotta find that sweet spot when you could walk into Wild West CVS and take home a bottle Morphinecocainemeth to help wash down the Bovril.
They're exactly looking to be treated for hysteria.
While the word know just means frantic and sort of crazed and can be applied to anyone, it's originally about having a womb. From the greek word for a womb.
You're obviously right that them getting sent to an asylum or getting their brain poked through their eye (although lobotomy wouldn't be invented for like 30-40 years from their date) would be horrible.
But she's also right that they did indeed used to "jerk off" female patients as a treatment for hysteria. Then the doctors got lazy about rubbing and fingering women until climax, so they invented the vibrator. I may be taking a few liberties with the story so Google it yourself to verify the historicity.
Is that why hysterectomy is removing the uterus is it tied to being hysterical?
I'm thinking a bit of both, but "definitely" to the first.
I really wonder about what people thought of that then. Did people really think it was a medical thing, or was this just a socialy respectable way for a man who couldn't get his wife off to pass the task on to someone who could perform the task with an air of medical respectability?
Or Hell, maybe it was a 19th century kink or swinger thing. People have always been freaky. At times in history they just had to hide it better.
I actually googled it a bit, and idk when "hysteria" widened to include men as well, but the very first inventor of a vibrator for medical purposes said he wouldn't use his "percuteur" for women as that would not be fitting. But he was a religious man afaik.
There were all sorts of galvanic stimulators and whatnot so I don't think they were all as prudes as we might think.
So would I.
Cocaine, famously great for your mental health
Freud was a fan, and he basically invented therapy
Freud was wrong about most of his therapy related ideas.
Also, he was wildy depressed, solving none of his issues.
He did shake things up with a lot of new ideas. I'd like to think that proving him wrong has gotten us to a better place; it's the fin de siecle version of being wrong on the internet, everyone writes to correct you. Kind of sucks for everyone that got the bad advice in the meantime, tho.

Do I get coke too?
That’s for patient use only! You’ll have to transition first if you want to use it.

Best I can do is some mushrooms (possibly magic) and a washing machine on spin.

Fun fact, vibrators were invented as a 'medical' tool to aid women.
Well yeah. These women were suffering from extreme bouts of hysteria.
Thought it was a facial massaging device... until "facial" became optional.
Me at the sex shop checkout:
"I... I have a prescription."
And bicycles were discouraged, because they could promote hysteria.

It's really sad but also kinda fascinating that there are definitely people who could read this and believe it's evidence of the downfall of modern society caused by equal rights, instead of realizing that this bitch was just understandably tired and making a humor joke in an attempt to lighten the burden of having to face another day trying to roll the boulder back up the bullshit mountain created by the people who want to take away her (and everyone else's) rights, dismantle society, and cause it to collapse.

That does sound a lot better than therapy. Why don't we do that anymore? Cocaine and jerking off are still S tier relievers.
