Mental Illness and the Psych Ward

[Shell B]

I have OCD and probably GAD, though the latter is kind of redundant when you have Pure-O. I have had to go to the hospital a number of times to treat dehydration from being unable to eat and drink, but that is about it. They had to put me in the weirdo half of the ER so that I could be processed by a therapist once. It was totally my choice. While there, a fucking totally creeptastic hairy guy wearing only pants kept walking past my room to the bathroom and staring at me. Finally, he started trying to walk through my door and the totally awesome guards (who kept bringing me magazines and helping me with my equipment so I could go to the bathroom. I was the only person there who was being treated medically as well) got up and made him go back in his room and leave me alone. That gave me an anxiety attack, but said awesome guards kept checking in on me. I was only there for two hours while I talked to a lady so they could be sure I wasn't going to hurt myself and they finished hydrating me. I avoid going to the doctor like a plague most of the time. I tend to research shit and try my own methods of coping.
