You get a brand new perspective of these issues when you have to see them from the inside out, rather then the outside in.

I once was in a ward for crazy adolescents pretty much, and I had to share my room with a guy who hated black people and called them niggers all the time. All he would talk about is how much he hated niggers, nigger this, nigger that. I was surrounded by these people with whom the only thing I had in common was the fact that I was deemed a malfunctioning unit, just as they were

I went into the ward sane and suicidal and came out scared, lonely, still suicidal,and felt like I could relate to no one BUT, I was putting on the face they wanted! I got out in three days because I was normal and they knew it compared to alot of the other people there. Three days felt like a year there. I had to pretend so much.

Those places for the mentally ill aren't really there to treat them it seems, but more to contain them without killing them. Very little brain stimulus, nothing good to read. I could color in coloring books.... I was fucking 15 and they wanted me to color in coloring books and they're wondering why I was weird. -laughs- A 15 year old and they give me the option to color or stare at a white wall.

Those places are the worst of vicious cycles.

Anyway, there's nothing you can do about it. It's definately sad though that the mentally ill get treated like dog shit/a 4 year old.
