I spent two weeks in a mental facility

[kahljorn]

and now I can't legally own a firearm. I think i dodged any future drafts.

[AChimp]

Were you suffering from Wiener Withdrawal?

[kahljorn]

5250 ;/

[Geggy]

why am i not surprised about this?

[Trippy]

you could always use a slingshot

[Alive]

Well you do fit the emotional profile....

[McClain]

Code 5250? Doesn't that mean you're detained for being an alchoholic with mental complications?

[kahljorn]

No. 5250 is a 14 day hold after you get 5150ed and they decide the 72 hour hold isn't long enough. 5150 and 5250 are both for mentally unstable people, whether they try to killthemselves, threaten harm on someone else or are just crazy homeless people. I have a pamplet.

[da blob]

you crazy homeless person, you !

[Mike]

Kahl what happened? You didn't try to kill yourself did you?

[Trippy]

wait? are you serious? :/

[liquidstatik]

MY SISTER'S FRIEND WENT TO A MENTAL HOME FOR A WEEK AND SHE CAME BACK WITH A WHOLE NEW LOOK ON LIFE

[kahljorn]

Yea I'm serious, I will scan all the pretty pamplets later.. i saved all of them. Some of them have some blaringly hilarious typos.

TEH MENTALS AREN'T SUPPOSED TO NOTICE

I once spent a week in the psych ward. I used it as a chance to learn Italian. Truly fun.

I spent 5 days locked up in the 'Behavioral Sciences' floor of the local hospital. They kept the suicidal onces in a separate section, but let us 'mingle' during certain hours.

I went in on Sept 10, 2001. I'd been living off roughly 25 vicodine, 60 mg Paxil and around 12 dt cokes a day for almost 2 years when they locked the doors. I went from all that to absolutely nothing - complete cold turkey (now I know where they got that term) - not even a friggin asprin. I spent the first night balled up on the floor having convulsions. As the morning light comes up, after enduring some of the worst acid-trip-like headtrip I've ever endured, I can barely make sense of claims that planes were flying into buildings on the TV.

A freaky ass thing, withdrawl is. It was, by far, the most intense and horrific experience of my life.

that's sorta how i learned italian. except my experience involved getting my knuckles beaten to bloody pulps and getting fed the same speghetti dish every night. i learned italian by living with an italian family during my childhood years if you didn't catch that

[kahljorn]

i took 100 asprin, prolly 15 belladonnas, drank a sixpack of beer and took other random household drugs.

My grandmom calls me a coornood.

Was this a planned suicide, or just stupidity on your part?

[kellychaos]

Spring cleaning.

[Perndog]

It was all of the above, wasn't it?

And it wasn't the first time either, right?
