Just got out of the Psyche Hospital

Just got out yesterday.  was there a total of four days (short stay because of my job) but was there because of a suicide attempt on Friday.  It was the combat PTSD that got me and the flashbacks (psychotic effects).  They drove me down to despair and I acted impulsively.  You know taking a bottle of prescription sleeping pills will not put you to sleep.   Had to drink that vile charcoal drink and they hooked up some strange IVs.  Very long stay in the ER - 10 hours before being dumped in the psyche ward.

Glad you're out, too, Thor. As a hospital chaplain I visited lots of patients after than charcoal drink. It leaves a big stain around the lips that's hard to get off. My combat PTSD has been acting up on me, too, re that car bombing I was in that I told you about, so you're not alone.
