I was hoping to go home today, but the doctor claimed that we had already agreed upon that I should stay for a couple of days more, and that I can't "check out" in the weekend. So here I am. They have loosened upon my restrictions a bit. Previously I was offered guarded walks in the park if I needed fresh air, today they allowed me to travel home unacompanied to get some stuff. I wonder what would happen if I did not return back within the time we agreed on. My days are empty. I sit in a chair and look out of the window. All day. Every day. They drug me down, heavily. My arms feel weak, my body is heavy. I don't have energy or will to read, or entertain myself in any way. My thoughts are slow. My mind feels heavy. In the morning I have to sit in front of a lamp for 20 minutes. There is a wall of strong lamps, with a row of chairs in front of it. Each morning patients are placed in front of the wall, while the nurses keep time. 20 minutes, and then back into my room. This is my third day in the mental asylum, soon I'm going to bed. - lindus
