Progress from Hospital

I am getting better, slowly but surely!!! This poem is a sign of progress for I used to go to the psychiatric hospital every 2 - 3 months and basically lived in Wichita Falls, Texas for 2 years. I owe a lot to my psych while there and the fact that he put me on "Cymbalta", the anti-depression capsule.

 


 


In the past, I thought
of suicide every waking
moment.
It never left me.

My depression got
much worse.

Since almost two years ago,
I have been on Cymbalta,
a fairly new anti-depression
medication. 

My life is much better.

Now, I only think of suicide
in spurts and not near
as much as before.

I saw my psychiatrist today
for my monthly check-up
as well. He is a good man.

I go to the psychiatric
hospital when I start to
think of a plan to carry
out my “suicide plan”.

When that happens,
I check in for two to
three months.

My life is getting better though
and I have not been in a
psychiatric hospital since
December 2006.
