Fake or not - this inspires a story for me to write. :)

Amazing shot.
Really hits some wounds.

I was put in an asylum from the time I was eight, until two years ago when I was fourteen. These places are awful... you're treated like a problem instead of a person. I know what it's like to put under heavy sedation, to be put in straight jackets while you scream... and I know what it's like to be stared at when you hallucinate and seem to be out of pace with the world.

Glad to be out of that hell hole. Too bad the treatment didn't last.

But enough of that. As I said. Amazing shot.

thats so sad. i saw this episode of cold case about a girl in a mental institutaion and the nurse forced them to put on lipstick to be like a "real" lady. its so sad the things they did to those poor people.

holy mother! i don't think that thing had a very pleasant life..

damn. it looks amazing even when its not new.

wow! amazing. i'm sure it was just gorgeous back in the day.

Oh god. I may be mistaken but that looks like the stairwell my brother came down wrapped in a sheet believing he was the second coming oif christ. I was about 8 yrs old and scared outta my mind. My brother was shizophrenic,manic., etc.

That is breathtaking. It's as if there's something crawling along the window, coming to get you.

Great photo. It really makes you think about mental illnesses, and how the patient must face their illness once they come to terms with it.
