Thanks, I am so glad that I'm not the only one who sometimes misses the psych ward. I was there twice early last year, and at least five times before that in 2002 and 2007 and 2008 and 2010 so I know how you feel. Even if the techs didn't always approve, I could be "me", whatever that meant in the manic moment. And there is a severe shortage of people I can talk to about the psych ward now that I'm outpatient (basically just my mom and one or two other people). Sometimes I fantasize about what I want to take with me next time I go. But I'm trying to stay committed to staying home with my family, as much as my children drive me nuts, because they need me more than I need the hospital. Plus I love taking walks outside, kicking the soccer ball around, eating whatever I want to make (including organic fruit!), going to Holy Mass and confession, and of course enjoying and raising my family.
Once again thanks, it's nice to reminisce.
