Diary of a raving lunatic

Sunday, May 07, 2006

About 7 weeks ago I was admitted into St. Vincents Hospital in a Psychotic State. Since then I have been making a teady recovery. I have beeen off work for this entire time.

I have just started to ease back into work and have started back part time for now. I am working alternate days, 3days per week.

I will reflect further on my psychosis in future posts. It happened exactly the same as last time. An immense amount of stress and a drug binge fuelled by stress. The drug binge ocurred after the breaking point to try and deal with my psychotic state.

I was in the psychotic state from thursday night through till early tuesday morning. It was quite a scary place to be. I then checked myself into a psychatric unit designed for methamphetamine users. Even though I was not using methamphetamine I was still classified aas being in a drug induced psychosis. Personally I don not believe that it was drug induced but that the drugs amplified the symptoms that were present.

The psych ward that I was in was quite nice. They had an amazing control over the environment in there. They regulated the air-conditioning to make you hungry or sleepy. The nurses were lovely as they always are.

For the record, they checked me in as Stuart Lachlan McKellar. How amusing.

I will post more about actually being crazy later on.

For Now,
Sincerely,
