i saw that! i remember it too! thats where we met too, dont you remember stephanie? it was about 1978, i was 12 and you were 10 if i remember correctly,

i was in one of those for nearly a year, my best friend stephanie from the hospital came to talk to me everyday tho, i was 15 and i remember the first night i was in it, the staff actually let stephanie sleep on a cot next to me because i was so scared, the only reason they let her do it was because i was threatining to start screaming, i was already crying which was not good for me since i was frail and couldnt breath very well at all on my own

as did i, Kara Sunshine, as did i,

seeing these children's things reminds me of my own childhood, scary, yet almost seems normal because i never knew any other way when i was a child, being institutionalized sucks

i have been locked in a similar room before... its not any fun, lynn is right, when you're in there, you dont want any company, your troubles and issues are enough to crowd the room... :(
