It was okay, I grew up in there so that was my life until they let me out. I didn’t even want to leave, that’s how institutionalized I was. I am still in ways, I’m very violent but that’s been my defense out here while dealing with the symptoms. I know it sounds strange but I don’t really care that much about living any more and I’ve almost ended it a few times (thank God I didn’t) but now I’m like if my voices are the death of me, let me die talking bacc to them. Forgive me, the voices made me that way but I still love myself so I’m not completely bitter. I’m happy to have found this site, I read all of your post and it really hurts my heart to know this disease has affected so many people in a negative way. I wish I could do more to help then give subtle advice and remind you to keep taking your meds. But I guess that’s life???
