My essay about institutions was not meant to scare anyone just to just to let them know how I felt and way I was in an institution. I am sorry if my essay offended anyone or made them unease. That was not my intent I just wanted the sane to see what it was like on the other side no more no less.
Thank you

"What is an Institution?"
Going
in the smell of alcohol woof over the senses, and as one looks around they see
white walls and sometimes gray or white floors. There are gray racks ware the
white linen is stored. To find what a Mental Institution is we must take a look
on the inside. First off there are nurses, orderlies, than there are the
doctors. The rooms are about 12 by 12 and two to a room. There is a large
common room, and several conference rooms. So what is a Mental Institution?
A Mental Institution is a place
for those who are Mentally Ill to get help to get better.
There are also Institutions for the
criminally insane. These places are there to keep the mentallyill medicated. Most all mentally ill people need to stay on these medications for the rest of their
lives. These places also deal with electro-shock treatments. Some patients need to be
restrained either by leather restraints or by strait jackets or even restrained chemically. There
are some who even need to be put in a padded room.
Being mental ill I have been in and out of these places
a lot and I can tell you they are on
fun. They serve bad food, some of the people smell because they do not know
what a shower is, and they soil themselves. Even so I have never experienced electro-shock treatment but I know
people who have. All I know about electro-shock therapy is that they hock your head up to
electrodes much the same way as they do for an ECT scan. Electro-shock therapy seem a little
barbaric to me I am glad it is getting used less with the invention of new and better medications.
medication and psycho analysis are the wave of the future. I just went and saw my psych Doc.
and he changed my meds so that hopefully I can concentrate better on what I am doing and not
the voices. The voices are so bad at times I just want to give in to them and start killing everyone
I see but somehow I am able to keep it together. I does bring me to tires though. I cannot stand
the voices sometimes I even want to kill myself. For these reasons I have in and out of
institutions and hospitals since I was nine.
In closing I would just like to say that institutions are good place for the mentally
Ill like myself to get away for the rest of the world, and have time, and medication to recover
from the stress of life.

First entry I would like to quit smoking. My plan in to cut back one to two cigarettes a day or so if I can
cut back a little each day or two I should be able to quit in 32 days.
April 10, 2014
I cut my smoking down to a half a pack form a pack and a half I think I am doing real good.
April 11, 2014
I am still on track I only smoked 8 cigarettes and I fill really good about that. At this rate I will quit
before the 32 days and will just be giving reports on how I am doing.
April 12, 2014
I have only smoked 8 cigarettes today like yesterday still doing good I think anyway.
April 13, 2014
I only smoked 6 cigarettes and I feel really good about that. I will more than like quit by the end of the week

April 17, 2014

April 20, 2014
Same as above nothing new to report.
April 21, 2014
Slipped up a little bit smoked six not proud of it but it happens.
April 22, 2014
Got suspended from normal classes. This has me really stressed out so I am coping the only way I know how by smoking more I am sorry to say, but smoking helps me deal with stress, and it is better than listening to the voices
April 23 ,2014
still having a hard time dealing with being out of school so my smoking has increases I am now back to a pack a day I need to get back in school it was one of the things that kept me sane I need the home work and the class time both to help me quit smoking and to keep me sane.
April 24, 2014
same as April 23 except that now it is a pack and a half that I am smoking> Get me back in school please for my own good.
April 25, 2014
Still not going very good still smoking about a pack a day.
April 26, 2014
The same as the 25th still not going well.

May 3, 2014
Back up to ten a day. That's half a pack. I am smoking way to many, but with my best friend and all my other friends smoking around me it is really hard to stop. Like I wrote earlier I will not stop trying to stop smoking even after this thirty-two day commitment is over.
May 4, 2014
Not as stressed only smoked six that's better that I have been doing.
May 5, 2014
Holding at six I think CUTTING BACK ON MY SMOKING IS A MORE REALISTIC GOAL. I only smoked six so I think I am doing good if I can stay at six or less a day than I am doing good.

May 15, 2014
Got an appointment with psychiatrist tomorrow so I will talk to him about my stress level and smoking and see what he has to say about how my quitting smoking may effect my stress level.
May 16, 2014
Went to see my psychiatrist and he said I was putting to much pressure on myself that I should not try to do so much at one time that the pressures coming form school where probably more then enough for me to handle. So he said I should not try to quit smoking at this time.

personally I do not think this is a good idea because it invites plagiarism and someone will get sued. I for one cannot afford to get sued. If everyone used this then they would not develop there own writing style everyone would write the same. This in it's self would create problems in that the teacher would think that one person wrote all the papers, and everyone would fail the class, and possibly be expelled.
