I'm sorry you had such a rough time with being in the hospital, Hex. The last time I was inpatient it was for only 24 hours. Nevertheless, I felt I was imprisoned even though I had not committed a crime. The psychiatrist was sadistic. Most nurses were indifferent, only 2 were truly kind and helpful.
Thank you for your metaphor about the windows. Or even one window. It is a beautiful image and an important one to hold in my mind.
