This is a journal of a suicide attempt. Its pretty graphic. Please be kind and leave comments and thoughts. I am hoping to spread awareness of this issue that plagues our communities and the burden it brings on both survivors and suffers.

Oct 9th. Day 9 in the hospital. Psych Ward day 1.
Whoa, nine days in the hospital first day in a psych ward. Its a nervous day. There are about 16 other people on the ward. He sorta knows what to expect because he has done this before just no inpatient setting. So what to expect group therapy. Group therapy and more group therapy. If you have never been in this setting you would think 90% of your day would be spent in a group setting trying to figure out how to get coping skills and figuring out how to turn your life around. Well you would be correct depending on where you go. His days spent mostly of trying to figure out what to do and waiting for there to be group so most of the day was spent watching tv, playing cards, reading, showering and exercising. He decided to start exercising to get back into shape after spending most of it in a bed. Wasn't much a few push-ups a few sit ups. But enough to build a sweat and get the heart rate up. This is how he would spend the next 8 days spending most of his time like this.
