CyCreek Mental Hospital. Cali Dr., Harris County, TX. Ring any bells? Anyone been there, before?
Here's the story. Friday on the week before last week, I took someone else's pills at school. I didn't intend to kill myself, they were antidepressants (clorapazem), and the girl I was talking to had nothing but the best intentions, both of us wanted me to feel better, I was having anxiety and falling far down into my mind like hell that day. Well, by second period I started feeling woozy, falling off to one side as I walked, and the room spun. I told a teacher whom I was familiar with and they rushed me down to the nurse's office. They discovered that my blood-pressure was way too low. Calling an ambulance, I was rushed to the E.R. It wasn't as bad as it could have been, I freaked out like an idiot, understandably, and once I was confirmed to be alright I all but passed out asleep in a bed with my dad in a chair by my side. That was all in the morning and noon, we didn't get home until five p.m. or so.
I found out that numerous people, from school, from C.P.S., from the hospital I was taken to, recommended that I go to the adolescent ward of a mental hospital. So that's where I get signed into the following Wednesday. Just got discharged earlier today, 10/28/13. I met some interesting individuals there, one whom I'm trying to stay in-contact with via our tumblrs, and one who gave me her Facebook. And I don't even use Facebook normally. That's how much that place impacted me. I feel motivated to pick the pieces of my life up which I myself broke and making something new out of it. Starting with cleaning this goddamn apartment, getting that goddamn dog we've wanted, and being responsible, hopefully getting a job.
No more having my vitals taken every single morning for me.
Here's hoping that this update answers some questions for you on where I've been.
P.S.: I have major depression with psychotic features. Forgot to mention.

Great things are going better with you and it's great you have motivation. Medication isn't to make someone feel better or fix depression, I know better than anyone, medication is meant to lessen the saddens, but not make you happy. It turns a steak knife into a butter knife as far as issues go. That way people with depression can deal with things better. Ultimately medication needs to be taken and help needs to be sought out. Talking is a great way to deal with things and glad you have people that can listen :)
