I was on Haldol too and then some kind of
muscle relaxer, I remember a doctor coming
to talk with me and we went for a walk down
hallways and my legs giving out. I don't
know if that was from the medicine or
something in my thinking. It was one memory
I didn't forget.
Ron and Mike, I agree with you on a silent brotherhood, something I also came to be aware of was that I can tell when someone is being abused or was abused, it's a sensitivity I have, though I can't tell you who is an abuser.
On girls on wards, I can't remember for sure how that was, I think in later times when I was hospitalized that's how it was, there was no separation of sexes, but we were all adults then. The first time I was hospitalized there was just one floor for everyone, it may be that one side of the wing was girls and the other boys... hm?... it's really hard to remember. I do know we had girls, I remember sitting and watching TV (which I think was done a lot) in this one smallish main area and I remember this girl, an officers daughter who hated herself and she would scratch her self with her finger nails, her face and her wrists, I remember her sitting next to me, or just one person over... she was someone I never forgot. Another person I remember in that same sitting, that same day, was this nice guy, who almost seems like a brother, who thought the TV was talking to him or more accurately that his brain was connected to the TV, I remember this white stuff on his mouth a lot, around his lips, I think that was from Thorazine or some other medicine, he for sure had the Thorazine Shuffle lol, he was a classic case on that lol. I remember a doctor or nurse talking to me that same day, while I was on that same couch, and I remember telling them that "such and such" person, believes his head was connected to the TV, he was sitting right next to me. I learned that he got that way from taking too many drugs, they were very popular at that time over in Germany and we were all so young. Like I said, this guy was nice, I liked him, I remember him smiling too lol.

To me it seems that everyone was either on
Thorazine or Haldol. I'm pretty sure that
either what you were going through at the
time, or more likely the medicines wiped out
large portions of my/our memories.
Also, I'm still reading on page 33 or so, and so, I'm not reading what you guys are writing on pages 40 - yet.

I have went to both of your pages several times, but wasn't sure if it would be appropriate to friend request you.
