Institutionalized
<p><strong>Episode 4</strong>. In less than three weeks at the hospital, I had become institutionalized. When I was finally discharged home (because insurance ran out, not because I was doing well) I realized my whole world had changed. Home didn't feel like home anymore, I felt like a stranger in this world. I didn't have my mom to lean on because she was sick from going through cancer treatments, and the rest of my family was stressed out and not in the mood to deal with me. One thing led to another and I was admitted back into the hospital on an emergency basis. </p>

Medication is for Sick People
Episode 2. In this episode of involuntary I talk about my first week at my first inpatient psychiatric hospital. The year was 1991 and I was convinced I was going to catch AIDS from the shared bathroom. Even though I knew logically that was impossible. To combat this I began washing my hands repeatedly to the point of bleeding. This did not go unnoticed by the staff. Soon a doctor who talked to me one time had placed me on the heavy duty anti-psychotic Trilafon. Oh, I also survived a strip search and tried my first piece of bacon ever.
