I've been quite ill so that's sort of ruling my days. Not much else to report.
It is the unit at whatever state hospital or equivalent facility your state has that houses the most dangerous psychiatric patients. Murderers, serial killers, violent rapists, kidnappers, etc. Just to be clear, I was sent there for an Adderall relapse. I don't have a dangerous bone in my body. True story. Absolutely crazy system my state has. It is a very long story how someone like me, with zero criminal history other than a car crash I had when I was psychotic, could end up in a place like that for a very long time, indeed.

Anyway, Oregon is a bit different than lots of other states in that we still have a gigantic state hospital here that is completely full at all times. We actually have two that are completely full at all times.

Sorry that you have been ill. Hope you feel better soon!!!!
