Thanks to my dad, and I mean that sincerely with no sarcasm, I have weekend leave. All it took was a phone call to the doctor informing her of how the previous leave went well and that my parents want me home. I plan to leave there Friday morning and return Monday night. This means I am very close to being released, sorry I mean discharged. She did, however, increase my anti-psychotic medication (Olanzapine) to 10mg at night, for her own peace of mind (my mind is fine). I hate having to take it...
What are the possible side-effects?
Some people taking olanzapine may experience blurred vision, weight gain, sleepiness, increased appetite, dizziness, low blood pressure, dry mouth and constipation.
Well fuck that. Fuck her.
On the flip side I am joyful about my impending release. Everytime I experience the hospital system I come out with a renewed energy for life. In the past this energy has faded but I will not let this be the case this time. I have so many plans... so much to do!

This whole thing sounds like my semester at school.
Apparently, my school (Stony Brook University) is the second most depressed school in the nation.
A year or so ago, I had a dream that I was held prisoner in one of our school buildings. Lol! Back then, when I had the dream, I really didn't understand because I was having fun.
Now I think that dream was a premonition.
I'm looking down at the clothes I'm wearing right now, and I swear, I know it's not an orange jumpsuit, but I see an orange jumpsuit.
And before, I've never enjoyed going back home. Now, I want to cry because I don't have enough money to afford the train. I have to wait for my mom to feel generous and pick me up.
When did school become a sentence???
I know it's not like being locked up in a hospital, but I feel ya in a parallel universe :(
