This Is The Most Public of My Many Humiliations

Monday, December 06, 2004

Yesterday I spend the day in the psych ward of the hospital. It was not really cool. I was not prepared for the things I witnessed. The people there have a lot more problems then I could ever have, it really opened my eyes, and showed me that life is worth living.
There were many different types there: the girl pumped full of so much lithium, that she doesn't even notice that she is walking in circles. The man with 7 personalities, he has music pumping on headphones, as to drown out the voices in his head. Occationally you can still hear him yelling things at himself.
My friend who is staying there is calm compared to the rest. She looks like a delicate flower, but don't let that fool you, she is more deadly then the bride in Kill Bill.

They want to discharge her today, cause she was caught stealing drugs from the X-Ray room. They think she was going to use them to get high, but she was going to use them to off herself.
I have to go in today and talk to the doctor and explain that she is not ready to be discharged. They are treating her like a junky, not a patient, which I find to be very unfair. She had no privileges when I went to see her yesterday. They let some real crazies come and go as they please.

Dance for me please.
