yesterday i was discharged from my 3-week stay at a mental hospital. it started by telling my psychiatrist that all i thought about was my own death. so she decided since the medication wasn't working, she would sent me to an in-patient institution. i spent two days in a psychiatric emergency room called CPEP, waiting for a bed to open at Mohawk Valley Psychiatric Center, also known as Pinefield Institution. i was there for 3 hellish weeks and they let me out this early basically because i have a supportive, two-parent family and i was really well-behaved while i was there.
i can't talk about this anymore. the memories are really painful. my only escape is my nightly shower, which, oddly enough, reminds me of the showers we took nightly on the Ward while i was in Pinefield. i can say that i'm not suicidal anymore but to elaborate would mean typing for another half hour and i just don't think i could handle that. i'll probably tell more about my little adventure tomorrow.
