Diary from a psychiatric hospital patient.

Day 7

A full week has gone by, and I'm already leaving, now I am not going home, just going to the other hospital that is closer to home. My mom bought fancy candy for me to give to the staff tomorrow before I leave.

Had many fun activities today, like physiotherapy where we just sat and talked, and some dance therapy where I laid on the floor and listened to her talk, and finally – art therapy. She said that she thinks I never had a strong male role model and im just sitting there thinking, thank god I didn’t, no way would I have been able to skip art school, get drunk and smoke with my friends before the age of 18 if I had had a strong male role model.

Either way I think my dad and mom did okay with the situation that we were in, sure they were never the best, but at least I learned from a young age to look after myself. And I got the freedom others my age never did.

I have been re-watching tikc, tikc BOOM!, it is a wonderful movie, and everyone who loves musicals should watch it.

Today was the first day ever in my life where I had to do a written PE test. I cant really run cross country while sitting in a hospital that wont let me even leave for a walk on my own. I am glad tho that I didn’t have to run the cross country track at school, I have running, especially long distance. I don’t know how they expect us to just be able to run 2km in less then 15 minutes with no training, ridiculous.

Everyone needs a friend like Mike.
