Boring gossip from the psych ward/partial hospitalization

It's my hole so go frick yourself.

Okay so psych wards are basically divided into two: regular butt people who just have depression & actually crazy people who hear things etc. It has people from all walks of life but there are usually a lot of high achievers who have burned out.

Here are some of the more memorable characters

Scott: socialite, gay, broke. They let him out after 3 days because he was just being dramatic (He sat on his balcony threatening to jump 6 stories) He was being evicted and is like 20 months behind on rent. Was desperately trying to get his rich friends to pay for his bills while inside. He told me how to become a socialite and I'm 100% going to do that this year but it's a multi-year project. #2024goals

Marci/Marsey: black crack head prostitute with a tattoo of “repent” on her forehead. PLOT TWIST: her family is fricking loaded? I heard the doctor saying “I'm not sure your family can pay the $40k rehab cost” and she was like “that's no issue”. Doctor was really confused. I asked her about it and yeah, they are. She makes like $900 a day as an escort btw (they don't enable her). Her dealer/pimp was trying to get her to go clean. She actually had a heart of gold and a great personality and I wish her the best.

Pretty girl whose name I don't remember: okay this one threw me for a loop. She was a pretty late 20s blonde with a really good job. I assumed depression/burn out like the other normal looking people. Holy. Shit. She was like “Everyone thinks I'm paranoid but there really are people after me”. I just nodded and agreed. I was too shy to get the full story of her delusions. Nice girl. Was at the age female schizo starts.

PHP:

This is partial hospitalization. It's 5 hours a day, 5 days a week of group therapy, individual therapy and meeting with a psychiatrist.

My manlet psychiatrist here refused to give me the good shit (benzos) so hopefully my hot psychiatrist at Northwestern will be more accommodating when I leave.

I have to give my pronouns literally MULTIPLE times a day. It's usually 3 or 4. I am so tempted to do “frick/this/shit” or “build/the/wall”. Maybe on my last day.

We have both depressed people here and also addicts. The addicts are WAY MORE FUN. My group, I'm sorry, it's filled with a bunch of downers.

It mainly girls, gays and theys. A lot of genders I've never heard of. Those people are actually pretty cool and easy going oddly enough?

I'm on lunch break and heading back soon. Love you guys 💋
