Hey!
Tonight I watched an amazing movie, called "Awakenings". It made me appreciate life so much more. There was a time in my life when I lived in a mental hospital for 8 months. It was in 1997-1998 when I was 17. My dad always says that I always talk about my time in the mental institution as it was some kind of army. Well, in some ways it was.
Here's a part of my history.
I was bullied in school. From the first time I stepped in class and ten years on. The only reason they stopped bullying me was that after the last summer I suffered from a psychosis. I was 17 and served a mini mission for the church. I have later come to an understanding that both having been bullied for ten years and the mini mission contributed to my break down.
In the hospital I suffered from both mental illness and from side effects from the many different types of medicines they gave me. I gained 30 kilos in the hospital. I suffered from extra pyramidal syndrome. That is where "Awakenings" steps in. I had many of the problems and symptoms that the patients in the story also had. Of course it was based on a real story.
More later!
