Episode 4. In less than three weeks at the hospital, I had become institutionalized. When I was finally discharged home (because insurance ran out, not because I was doing well) I realized my whole world had changed. Home didn't feel like home anymore, I felt like a stranger in this world. I didn't have my mom to lean on because she was sick from going through cancer treatments, and the rest of my family was stressed out and not in the mood to deal with me. One thing led to another and I was admitted back into the hospital on an emergency basis.
