This morning started, oddly. Cyberstalking, of course. So, I woke up about 30 minutes before my alarm and went on my phone. The phone was a lot more glitchy than usual; so very unusually glitchy. Certain apps were stuck on the horizontal position, and no matter how much I jiggled the phone, the apps wouldn’t resume to the vertical position. When it was time for the alarm to sound off at 5:00 AM, it didn’t; weird, but a usual “glitch.” Then, the oddest glitch ever; the 5:00 AM alarm sounds off at 5:24 AM. That’s a whole 24 minute delay. … Read the rest

Since Thanksgiving just past, I thought about how I spent my last couple of Thanksgivings. Growing up, my family mostly spent Thanksgiving and other holidays with my stepmom’s family. Then I started driving, went to college, and started doing my own thing, but I’d say still, most Thanksgivings were spent with my stepmom’s family. Then eventually I started to distance myself from people in general, mostly because of the cyberstalking culture, and there were a lot of times I spent Thanksgiving by myself, on the Internet, and I really enjoyed it. Eventually, I was simply not invited to holiday gatherings, … Read the rest

Twelve blog posts later, and I finally got through writing about the last day at the hospital!
I have an interesting story to tell. I already mentioned my sister and I were recently talking about clothes, and it’s because she wanted to buy me something. So I guess she wanted to “surprise” me, so she bought and sent me something. Living at the barracks on this base, it’s kind of difficult to get mail, and there’s a lot of information that the address needs so that your mail is correctly routed to you. My sister didn’t put the full address; … Read the rest

So, again, continuing where I left off with the last post: So now I’m on Day #8, and I hope this is the last post I’ll need to write to explain what happened at the psych ward. Alright, so I mentioned in D Talks #22 that I haven’t spoke with the lawyer since that phone call, and according to my notes, that isn’t entirely accurate. What is accurate is I haven’t called the lawyer since that last phone call, but the lawyer did actually call me the morning of Day #8. I told him that the medical team told me … Read the rest

So, again, continuing where I left off with the last post: So, now it’s Day #7, a Monday, the start of the week. Like I mentioned in the last post, I said what I needed to say, and I wasn’t going to continue to repeat myself or stress. So even though I was being held against my will, I decided I was going to take a carefree approach. They would have to let me go eventually, it wasn’t like I was sentenced by a judge; although, I do think they kept me there much longer than necessary. I didn’t have … Read the rest

So, again, continuing where I left off with the last post: The last post was still on Day #5, and then I went on a tangent talking about other stuff. Since it has taken me more time to write about this whole experience to my blog than the time I actually spent at the psych ward, I’m going to try to focus on just what happened, without going into too much detail about my experiences or diving into other stories; I’ll revisit those experiences and stories after getting through writing about the psych ward, and writing about my current state. … Read the rest

So, again, continuing where I left off with the last post: The last post was mostly focused on Day #5, and I wrote about a couple of realizations and some other topics regarding my experience there at the ward. According to my notes, I spoke with my sister around 1145 on Day #5. I didn’t talk on the phone as much that day. I told my sister that my effort to leave the psych ward went from a sprint to a marathon, and I wasn’t going to stress out about being there or missing school. I also mentioned the lawyer … Read the rest

So, again, continuing where I left off with the last post: So the morning of Day #5, I wake up early. Since it’s a weekend day, patients are not required to be out of bed until later. I was hoping to leave the hospital a day or two after being admitted to the psych ward, but since I reached the weekend, I figured I might as well start reading a book, so that I wouldn’t get bored. I get a book from the bookshelf, was asked if I wanted to take my prescribed medication, which I said “no” to, and … Read the rest

So, again, continuing where I left off with the last post: Alright, so we’re still on Day #4. After meeting with the one-to-one and reviewing the contracts I signed, which was around 1500, I eventually get a call from my sister. My sister tells me that she finally got in contact with a lawyer who is willing to speak with me. Understanding that my sister was being fake with me, I wasn’t sure how much I could trust this lawyer she contacted; but whatever, at this point, I had nothing to lose. I also mentioned to her the signed contract … Read the rest

So, again, continuing where I left off with the last post: So after speaking with my sister, the day was starting to end, so I followed the daily routine, which included speaking with my second one-to-one of the day, and then called it a night. So, morning of Day #4, I follow the daily morning routine, which is roughly: vitals, breakfast, hygiene, and then the morning community meeting. After the daily morning routine, there are optional groups to participate in and a meeting with the medical team. After lunch, things are usually very relaxing, and patients can watch movies, read, … Read the rest
