Living in the hospital

[nchauf]

I am currently in a state hospital. I got NGRI which is not guilty by reason of insanity because I robbed a home when no one was there while in a manic episode. I have been in the hospital for a year and a half. I expect to stay here for a while and have to go through a step-by-step process before the doctors let me out. I am recently getting out of a depressive episode. I had some suicidal ideation and felt like I had no hope for the future. However, I am looking on the brighter side now and want to go back to school. I am working with the providers here at the hospital in order to figure that out. Pursuing school is motivating me. The next step I will have in the hospital is being able to go out into the community on passes. I can't wait for this, and I am looking to move forward with my life.

Hi Nchauf,Thank you for the effort you are making to make the changes in your life.

Being in hospital can be the circuit breaker we need to reset.
