SO HAPPY THAT ATIVAN IS HERE!

Your presence grounds me. I don't know why.

I'm not grounded right now. My therapist is worrying , my foster mom knows it's getting critical.
First thing they do today is put more restriction on me. Like I'm some little kid. I'm surprised they haven't given me a final boot.
Something to do tomorrow. I'm all pointed in the direction of the hospital, and I don't think I could take a 7-10 day fun and games. Maybe I can talk my way into a 3day weekend. Then I could just lay in bed and draw psychotic pictures (that everyone likes for some odd reason). Maybe I won't have to go. I should just hide in my room here and not answer the door. Ahh, it would just be hell to pay later. Kind of like how I'm being treated at a more street level. Thats it! On my level, I feel like ->-bleeped-<-, on a street level I am ->-bleeped-<-, and on a higher plane I'm just another turd to not step in,I'm the big turd that doesn't want to step on any turds, lest it shines the light on them and the realization everyone will have that it doesn't matter how big ya are, you're just another turd that nobody wants in their yard, let alone step in it. long disjointed trains of thought. a bad sign. A bad sign......

Horrible.

I can't let YOU run around feeling horrible! Nuh-uh, sister. Talk to me, let's move this to the salon or something (grabs her and wanders a bit out of the forest).

Like emma i'm glad to see you back Ativan. Do whatever you need to do to keep yourself healthy right now.

emma - i like your new avatar pic.

I too am glad that Ativan is here. Really glad. I like to know you're still around. My gut reaction was NO NOT THE PSYCH WARD ANYTHING BUT THE PSYCH WARD but it really comes down to doing what it takes to keep you healthy. To be fair, it also comes down to the fact that my psych ward stays have done much more harm than good. If it's good for you, please go.

Really? The psych ward for me was like a vacation. Cost me 8 grand, but I met some really cool people and straightened most of the way out. It helped me put the knife in denial's back.

Oh no. I've established myself as the messed up one at university. Yay.  :-\ I'm not even that messed up.

Edit: I should clarify that it's not a campus-wide reputation...just with the person I'm 'working' for in about two months. Stupid me, it's a terrible idea to talk about anything personal with people who are in essence your boss. *sigh* She contacted me out of kindness, concerned that the work next term would be too much as she hasn't seen me around. I think she's worried that I'm skipping classes due to personal issues, and therefore can't take on the load right now. But I'm actually fine. Not perfectly fine and perfectly happy, but it's nothing that will interfere with performance.

Damage control time.

my last hospital stay, along with all the damages, narcotics, ECT,more restraints and then some more restraints and more injections (that was all they would call them) after I started to get bloody against the restraints, more injections, then on a bed with restraints, more destruction of hospital equipt, I think the total bill, in fact I know, was over $800,000.00 and I don't really remember being there. Then on to the transition area of a state hostpital. I either calmed down to get to a less violent unit or I kept going until St Peter, home of the criminally insane. By the time my stay was up, I could walk the inside grounds (Flight risk), but I had also aqurired enough credits that I had the most privileges of anyone they had ever had there. That's also whre I discovered that I am what I am. If I wanted at the time they would have put me through the entire treatment of meds ,psychologists and surgery. no charge to me. (Joe Satriani is at about 100db in the background)(wow...that was fun). My life has really been a series of gifts from life. I always land on my feet (even when it breaks them), well once I didn't, but I don't remember it , so its like it doesn't count.
Anyways, I'm scared to go back. I will have no control over what each day will bring.It will be the same people, different faces. what will happen? I don't know either. I think I overheard them talking and they think it will be less than 30, week -10 days tops. (Stevie Ray Vaughn, Texas Flood)*turn it up some more*.......Anyways, the decision won't be until tomorrow late morning, Maybe a Latte`Morning! I just have to play it out. Bye!

I guess the decision won't be until next monday, unless of course figuring that things won't get worse. Right now I'm pushing for two wks

I can hear the rocks as they careen down the sides of the black abyss and my fingers are growing tired.

Two weeks seems like a sensible stay, if you must stay. What am I saying? Perk up friend!! Don't let them drag you under!!!

(On another note, I can not believe they would even deign to charge 800 grand. I'd just hand the bill back, what are they gonna do? Make life hard? Put me in prison?  Psh, whatever. Not like they can do worse to me than I can.)

Bwahahahaha!!! A woman just called the house and asked for "the female registered voter of the house" (which I thought was odd...but whatev..) and I responded that that's me. She paused, stuttered...and asked "you're female?" and I was so shocked that I hung up on her! That's literally never ever happened before. I'm kinda pleased with myself...I wasn't even trying. (to sound male)

The thing is...I'm on the phone all day! At work where I"m not out...so I have to work my voice and keep a female tone. I sing on my way to work to warm up, I know how to sing song...while I'm not in the least upset by her "mistake" I do find it strange. I'm shocked really. Pleased, and find it funny, but confused.

This after a *VERY* hard day...complete with tears at work and feeling like I can't really do this life thing...but also feeling like not playing this "game called life" out...also isn't an option.

To come home and settle, snuggle, relax and then have the perplexing phone conversation...well I've officially experienced likely every feeling there is to feel...*today*. Yea...that'll do.
I'm also the spouse to the fabulous Mrs. Cynthialee.

Partner and I almost broke up. We're okay, for now, I think.

Aw. :( Relationships feeling rocky completely sucks. *hug*

IIII am having what is amounting to a horrible realization. I think I made a mistake wanting to work in social justice...cultural studies...crazy! I care about people, but I don't know if the group-based, activist, hit the streets and inform the masses thing is for me. Neither is theory. Too impractical. I've often thought about the possibility of being a psychologist but wrote it off as "too hard" or wasn't sure if it was something I cared enough about. Seriously, how short have I been selling myself? *sigh* But I've come up with a clear plan of action. Finish this master's, as the funding is so high I am profiting, and use the time to audit psych classes, volunteer/work in some form of counseling to get a sense if this is truly what I want...and if push comes to shove, work full-time in my current field and educate myself to become a psych.

Ugh, why wasn't I honest with myself about this earlier? Blindly pushing through something I had doubts about.

So, the previously mentioned haircut has finally happened. I ended up buzzing it all over, 3/8 inch. I have to say, I had my "worst fear" in mind, in terms of how I'd look, but it turned out nothing like expected. It's decent! And it feels nice and clean, as compared to the animal that was residing on my head pre-haircut.

my mom almost cried when she saw it, which made me feel kind of bad for her. Welled up and said nothing for a good 5 seconds and tried not to show it. But then she said "So I guess you were too cheap to get a haircut?" and then that she felt it would look better longer in the future.

Despite being overall happy with it, I may wear a hat to school for a week or two while I adjust. Not used to having relatively dramatic, overnight physical changes, haha. I'd also post pics here but I'm a bit insecure about my acne lately, sooo.

Like a fish out of water, a spinning top, vulnerable, simmering, completely out of my element.

And still a bit afraid. My anxiety has spurred me into this. I'm sorry for scaring people.
Loved.
