House's Baggage | House M.D. 

You completely nailed it.

But as the Philosopher jagger once said, you can't always get what you want.

Nope, Black Guy hit The nerve and got closer to real House than people normally get . Hes guard went up so he got angry

@@kekerosberg1654 He was making progress. He was finally accepting he was miserable and needed people...he was so close.

Sam Vidas - Pretty much since that one episode in S1(?) where he gave a lecture to a class based on when he "lost" his leg

YeahNahHowYaGoin three stories

I know right

yeah because someone is proding at his mental health...

House has, on multiple occasions, called himself a hypocrite and has said, perhaps not directly, that he is an awful patient. In the favorite episode Three Stories he outright calls himself a moron. Just because he thinks something is how it SHOULD be and what does the MOST good doesn't mean he'd actually go through it himself.

The saying is that doctors make the worst patients. Some of the same qualities, (like how their brains work, and their personalities), that make them good doctors, tend to make them difficult patients.

+SlyJMan Hurting body and hurting soul are 2 different things tho. Swallowing pill to cure a virus is easier than dealing with mental well-being.

@@JustSomeGuyLV dualism isn't real. All pain is physical because your a physical creature. A electrical water carbon Golum.

That wasn't the only reason. As another post points out; House was also frustrated. He did everything he was supposed to do - he made sacrifices; he put others first - and ended up even more alone than he was before. The only woman other than Stacy he'd ever loved was about to slip through his fingers for good, Wilson was gone, the members of his original team hated him, and the pain from his medical condition was the worst it had ever been. It seemed to House that nothing he did worked; all his sacrifices, all his suffering gave everything to others while at the same time robbing him of the very things he wanted.

@@tek512 That's true, but if that was his reason to leave, he would have left at a different point and not hidden the fact that Cuddy was with someone else. He specifically blew up right when he and his therapist were about to address a source of pain for him. He ran away because he couldn't confront it. One of House's biggest psychological issues is that he is constantly afraid that everyone is going to abandon him, and this presents itself in obscene jealousy and constantly "testing" the people he cares about by hurting them to see if they'll abandon him for it. His fear of abandonment is the elephant in the room and the second his therapist tried to talk about it he noped out of there.

@@Kat-xy7fm I agree with you. He was frustrated but it was his fault that therapy wasn't working. He wasn't being honest with his therapist. He didn't wanna confront Cuddy problem (which has bigger underlying problem), hence therapist couldn't help him because they were trying to resolve less important problems.

@@Clartred So he was in fact acting like some of his patients.

@@jacob5395 Everybody lies including House

Not quite. I love the character, but like House usually does, he was focused on the puzzle, when House is focused on the struggle. House very much understands the why at some level, but if he admits it, it means he has nowhere else to go because people are moving away from him.

@@enkiimuto1041 There will come a time where there will be nowhere else to go. Where there is only the rock bottom and you have to face it. Question is.... what happens afterwards ?

House doesn't want to be helped? He did everything he asked for.

He said "How do I be happy" and the shrink said "Like this"

@@unnamedtheanonymous763 when they got to the core of the issue, House left because he didn't like the answer. "That would be pathetic" he said.

@@Fif0l Yeah, it would be pathetic, because he wouldn't go out and get hammered because a woman he's not even with is moving in with someone. I sometimes wonder if people actually listen to what's being said in shows. House left because nothing the psychologist told him to do was working for him. He left because everyone was happy besides him. You can call that being impatient if you want, but that's about it. You'd probably also leave if you were paying $100-$200 an hour and getting no results.

@@827Drew I get your point. But psychology is complicated. What people say is never the full story.

He had it, it’s house that was scared that someone else found it for him and put it in front of his face harshly and truthfully ❤️

@@CapitanTavish Except that Dr. Nolan didn't have an ''answer'', he had theories and suggestions. It's naive to think that anyone EVER has an answer, especially from the outsider's perspective.

Honey, it's the story of everyone's life. Most people for sure. So many people suffer in silence.

@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849because you can only find the answer yourself. Therapists are there to help you find it. There is no 1 right answer that will fix everybodies issues. What makes 1 person happy will make another miserable. Treatment that works for 1 person could be completely ineffective on the other. Nolan got too close to the source of Houses unhappiness and he couldn’t face it and ran away. He didn’t want to look “pathetic” as he said himself. He was unhappy because everyone in his life was changing but him. Moving onto the next stage of their lives. Finding new people. While House was stuck watching everyone else be happy but not being able to get to that spot himself. He had really built up his relationship with Cuddy and had to think that she was a person who could finally make him happy. And he screwed it up. Seeing her move on with Lucas was what was destroying him

It's been 3 years since your comment, how are you?

Hoping you're better now friend 🙏🏼💌💞

Same this has been me since 9th grade. I just turned 31 and I still feel like House does. Alone and depressed.

Yes! I agree this season is very intense, keeps your eyes on tv and not blinking lol lol.

Right, I wish the therapist around a bit longer

Maybe Captain Wuntch was somewhere here

Holt

I just came from 99 clips And that hurts my mind

Wuntch rhymes with lunch this opens a whole world of possibilities

Trust should be earned, not granted. If a therapist doesn't have the answer, then to hell with it.

@@nuary120896 Because a therapist isn't there to give you answers. They are there to help you find them. If it was the case that they knew, mental health all round would be high. It's meant to be a way for YOU to give yourself the answer you want. House's lack of trust in anyone but himself is a clear hinderance, along with his mindset and also horrid actions to others. It's why he's in therapy in the first place and he even aid so himself that he's seeing everyone else have better lives. But rather than reflect on his own actions and want to have that same effect, he lashes out and runs away. He wants to be happy, sure, but he doesn't want to have to go through the pain of treating it. "It's better to be clean than comfortable" - Joshua Graham, explaining why he always replaces his bandages all over his burned body

For a year....

Actually this isn't an issue. House just saved loads 'a money. Therapy doesn't work, its just an expensive friend.

@@Sup3rman1c Ok then, just ignore the thousands of therapists that have successful careers that have helped millions of people.

Right, finally I see the reasonable take on this.

Not exactly. House is looking for the answer, they just hit on a big part of the answer, and it's clear what it means. House wants Cuddy, and I think that was obvious. So what does he have to do? Either blow up her relationship, the one that's taking the next step, or find a way to come to terms with the fact that he will never be with her. He dislikes either option, because in a way, they both require him to bury his pride and be vulnerable. He would have to be pathetic and he doesn't want to. He's right in the sense that what therapy has done so far is make everyone else happy. Whatever he's done hasn't made him happy, and he's not on a trajectory to be happy. What could the therapist tell him at this point? Let his relationships fall away as everyone else moves on from him? Completely reengineer his personality, becoming the kind of person that knows how to be vulnerable? That would require... faith. A conversion. He doesn't want to change like that. It's much more in line with House's personality to, say, drive a car into someone's dining room. The therapy had done all it could do.

Agree, hard to find that balance!

@@catboyYuta But a terrible ending, sad.

@@Max-fb5bm When I first watched I hated the ending too, but now years later I kinda get it and I think it was well-fitted for Don Draper to end up like that.

He need to BONEEEE!!!

He cant get any hugs, he only pays for an hour.

he'd stab you in the back with a sedative

That's what Cuddy gave him... And a whole lotta more 😉. Too bad he pissed all overvit. That's the House way I guess.

Hypnotic Siren he needs a good happy relationship, someone who won’t walk out on him when he needs them most... that’s what he needs...

If he did, he wouldn't have run away. It's not a pill you can swallow or a couple of exercising you can do. It's not a quick fix and requires introspection and maturity.

​@@MrBell-iq3smMost people can't even sit with themselves in silence much less scrounge up what it takes for long term therapy.

Exactly

But that's House's fault. The therapist can show him the right path, but House has to do the emotional work to walk it. House refused to change, he looked for shortcuts. The therapist had to spend most of his time fighting with House's refusal to be serious or open up. Of course, this will lead to little to no progress.

U nailed it! Ty

Good take.

Wrong, he did, he tried his best, at least in season 6. But one can't change his whole personality, that's naive to expect this.

What are you talking about? Hugh is nothing like House, and that's the point of being a good ACTOR. Fans often want to think that their beloved character is somehow alive through their actors but the truth is that House is FICTION, and Hugh is not him. Open your eyes to reality.

Not really hypocritical. Its one thing to have a drug addicted friend, its another to have a drug addicted romantic partner that is around your child. House showed a lot of improvement, but in the end when Cuddy needed him he couldn't be there. Maybe he could have done better if given another chance, but what if the next crisis was real? She couldn't take that chance. The real issue is her getting involved in the first place. That was selfish of her. Was selfish of him too, but he's always selfish.

addictions only get worse.

The actress that played cuddly ended up leaving so they had to change the script...

Yeah true that

After watching that episode i think it was just the straw that broke camels back

Yeah that's exactly what happens with Cuddy and other people, House can do everything right so at the end not get any reward for it and end up more hurt than at the beginning, literally in the next episode he did everything right to save a patient but still dies anyway

Have you tried LSD etc (monitored by doctors, etc?

Not to take away from your experience, but that isn't what happened here. I mean look at how much shit the doctor had to go through to get to the truth, and once he gets there House literally nopes his way out of there. He wants to claim that he is walking out because he's not happy, but he wasn't happy yesterday, he wasn't happy the week prior, wasn't happy last month, he wasn't happy five minutes ago, but as soon as the therapist touches a nerve, now the whole thing is bullshit and he is over it. He left because the therapist was actually getting somewhere, and that brings up a lot of negative emotions House has spent so long trying to avoid. I mean a lot of mental illness comes from trying so hard to numb themselves from feeling negative emotions(I mean they still find away to leak out of you). And so therapy becomes confronting all those emotions and that isn't pleasant for anyone and it is especially not gonna be pleasant for people who've spent so long running from it. And House totally fits that category. And for someone has damaged as House and has foster all these negative habits for decades, to unpack all that is gonna take way longer than a year. It took YEARS for him to become the person sitting in the therapist office. And House thinks all that can be unlearned and undone in a year? That is just not realistic at all. House making the point of therapy about his "happiness" also showcases how House is trying to avoid feeling negative emotions. Because happiness is fleeting. Even if therapist gave House happiness, literally anything both in his control and out of his control can come in and fuck that up. And then what? He is back where he started because he did not develop any skills to deal with the negative and he will fall back into his self destructive behaviors. That is the only way he knows how to handle it. Therapy for him would be to first identify these patterns, get him to be comfortable experiencing all the painful crap he wants to avoid, and how to properly manage them in a healthy way. He needs to realize that he isn't happy because of his self destructive behaviors and he has a lot of emotional baggage/trauma that is just sitting there. Sidenote: No shade to House, but just because your friends hit relationship milestones does not mean they are "happy." I mean they really can't be that happy if they are still friends with you. You're not happy if you have someone like House actively involved in your life. You just aren't.

Go see a physician (GP or psychiatrist) for a real diagnosis since you might have other medical problems exacerbating your condition which could explain why psychotherapy didn't help you. Then they will suggest the best treatment available based on the diagnosis. Going to a therapist as soon as you have psychiatric symptoms is like going to a physiotherapist as soon as your leg hurts, it could be a simple torn muscle that requires therapy but can also be a neurological issue, a cancer, a bone density issue, inflammatory conditions, etc. Same with psychiatric symptoms, it could be depression but could also be hypothyroidism, anemia, Vitamins deficiency, inflammatory conditions, etc.

Cruz Diaz completely agree. It's the season that he's most human

@@pranayvenkatesh8815 Except that multiple people have said it, rendering your moronic statement invalid.

Well I loved season 3 because of all the chaos!

😂 I see what you did there! 😂

Can't you blame the fox? If he cannot change his reality, at least he can change his perception of it. House is right in this one, what's the point of making others happy if that doesn't even bring a little bit of joy into his own life.

@@nuary120896 The issue, in this case, is that House isn't accepting responsibility for his actions. The fable shows how one can shift reality to make themselves feel better in the short term by looking at the negative emotions. Rather than saying "I cannot reach the grapes because I failed so, if I want the grapes, I need to try a different method", they place blame onto the grapes themselves. With House, he's placing blame not on his own actions but rather the process of becoming better. And, as we've seen and the reason he had to be committed was due to his actions leading his mind into a dark hallucination. We are able to change our reality but its extremely difficult and painful.

@@hk1371 NO, we are not always able to change our reality. I have clinical depression which I can't treat or cure because noone believed me for ages and now I'm too exhausted to even try doing something (which I did, FOR YEARS). Not my fault. Now I have plethora of other complications and resort to off-counter meds to make it subside at least. There is war in my country, noone will pay attention to people like me. No, I don't enjoy suffering, I'm just resigned to it. Then, people who live under constant shelling, in occupied territories, they CAN NOT change their reality. People who are ill with terminal/chronic disease CAN NOT change it. We can NOT change our DNA and often our circumstances. But please, go on and lecture others that they can win over disease, armed invaders, and unforeseen circumstances.

Well, that's the normal defensive mechanism for many people. Why try if it's constantly out of reach? He doesn't have contempt for others, he has contempt for himself, it's obvious. Also, most people know the fable but I'm sure it made your ego sing to lecture strangers on the Internet when noone even asked.

I believe this in my opinion very well stated ty

He is like Tony Soprano when it comes to therapy. Always looking for a quick fix, while defecting and running away from the real issues. That's their problem.

I think he feels he's sick because he can't be happy and if he can solve the difficulties of others maybe he could fix himself

If he wants to change then he doesn't need you.
