I can't see how it'd be a problem... but you never know… especially after that bit about strangulation by teddy bear. <br /><br />Also, I do recall that James Taylor spent time in a facility after his girlfriend (or, it may have just been his friend) died in a plane crash on her way to visit him. His friends had planned on surprising him with Suzanne's visit... but obviously, they had more horrific news than they originally planned to share with him. He wrote the song "Fire and Rain" as a grief testimony. I'm assuming this all to be true, or it could be something that someone thought up to explain Suzanne's part in the song. Either way, he did spend some time recovering from some sort of problem.<br /><br />Cat Stevens also wrote a lot of his hit songs while in the hospital recovering from TB. <br /><br />I wonder who Matt was thinking of...<br /><br />Maybe your recovery will encourage you to write a bestselling novel? <br /><br />Take care, and know that I am thinking of you! :)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04680126268043179695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485729541580426717.post-41604189859835446482010-10-17T13:57:35.406-07:002010-10-17T13:57:35.406-07:00Matt,

He said it's unlikely ever to be an issue with the security of the place, but that he doesn't want to chance anything. I'm hoping they allow me to blog. It will be interesting.<br /><br />Thank you for your kind support and for your validation of my feelings.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />AlexisAlexisARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797016673203467911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485729541580426717.post-44871019221167624902010-10-17T09:45:34.362-07:002010-10-17T09:45:34.362-07:00Alexis, what you said made perfect sense.
By the...Alexis, what you said made perfect sense. <br /><br />By the way, you can look upon this as a research opportunity. There was someone (very famous in later life) who spent time in such a hospital when he was young for depression. I am darned if I can remember who it was...<br /><br />Anyhow, if they allow you to blog, that'd be wonderful. If not, well, see you in a couple of weeks time!<br /><br />By the way, the stuff that has happened to you is very real. That's clearly why they call it PTSD! DOH! <br /><br />Incidentally, if what had happened to you (the accident, the plagiarism (with the whole thing created by that damn fool principal) and the other bad stuff that followed on because the principal was playing a rather weird game (WHY? What was happening there, in the background, I wonder?) had NOT caused you to be very upset, that would have been a sign that something was not right. Your reaction to the events seems to me (a layman) to be perfectly normal and totally proportionate. <br /><br />Have a good time. Well, have as good a time as you can, under the circumstance.<br /><br />Catch up with you later.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17774822085901274565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485729541580426717.post-71465834063552182672010-10-17T03:29:17.764-07:002010-10-17T03:29:17.764-07:00I obviously don't know any more than you know ...I obviously don't know any more than you know about what your treatment is going to involve, but I do know my niece was treated for bipolar disorder, very possibly in the place you're going, and she didn't find her stay unpleasant at all.
