I bind myself in the ways of an institutionalized mind
where I fall from up high, crash, and unwind,
and when I get to the place where there's no where left to hide,
there will only be my true self to find.



In other news, I am his Clementine and he is my Joel in the way that I am a raging psychotic bitch (some of the time), and he is cute beyond words (all of the time.)



Time goes too fast and I need to sleep. It's the story of our generation's life, really.

I'll be home cuddling with Geoffrey and my kittyboys in about two hours.


I have never been more ready to start my life.

Oh hey whats up, setback?

Back in Proctor 2 as inpatient. I don't even have level 2 yet so I cant go outside all weekend. I don't know how long I'll be here this time, but even though I am disappointed, I feel safe here.

I thought my meds were working. I truly believed I was getting better and that I would never need to come back here again, then, my meds turned on me unexpectedly and I ended up with a drug rash covering most of my legs, chest, and arms. I've had drug rashes before, so having it happen again was a trigger in all meanings of the word. I flipped. I wanted to die. I went through four frozen oranges to try to ground myself so I wouldn't dissociate. All of that combined made them send me back to the unit. I know it was the right decision, and it's not like I was kicked out and cant go back. They're even holding my bed and my food so when I do go back, it will be as if I never left.

More than being disappointed in my meds, I am disappointed in myself. I thought I could handle this, but I guess things can happen and I wont be able to control my reaction to them. Happens to everyone, right? .... right?

I'm not allowing myself to go back to the WTP until I am ONE HUNDRED percent sure that my meds are stable, and my mind is as well. I hope my insurance agrees with me so I'm not shipped out of here too soon, and then sent back as soon as something else goes wrong. I want to get better. I need to get better. I WILL get better, and then I will never look back.

So here marks the last day of inpatient on Proctor 2 at the McLean Hospital in Belmont. Tomorrow I will be moving to the Womans Treatment Program which is a residential/outpatient center on the McLean campus. I really don't know what to say..

I've learned a lot by being here, and I have made some amazing friends that I hope will remain in my life forever. These women are the strongest, most amazing, kindest souls I have ever encountered and I love them all.

WTP tomorrow. Here I go...
