I use dictionary.com thesaurus.com and rhymezone.com when I'm feeling it. What really helps me is not to focus on negative people. I can write on negative situations but it's very hard for me to write about negative people. It's hard to write elegantly about the people you hate, or perhaps ought not to hate.
Put it all out there, your first emotions when going through those metal doors, the first nurses look, the prick of the need that gave you pins and needles, the medicine and how your stream of consciousness wade too and fro. Make it sound like a journey into the underworld where you come out alive. It is after all that isn't it?
