Ask Ben Young about being in a mental hospital/Being bipolar

[Ben Young]

Near the end of last semester I was obsessed with a girl at my school and went off one of my meds(Zoloft) for a week, because at the time it was being shipped to me by my mom, and I didnt realize I had ran out, so I called her and the soonest it could get here was, you guessed it, a week later. I started having horrid suicidal thoughts, that I did not want to act out. I went to the hospital(Western Psych, in Pittsburgh). I was there for ten days. The food was terrible, phone access was limited, and some crazy things happened. Smoking happened either every 3 or 4 hours during the time you were allowed to be out in the open. I met a girl that I later dated which I regretted. Crazy girls do give the best head, though. Fire away.

What was the crazy girl's affliction?

[Ben Young]

"Are you perfectly 'normal' when you take your meds?? "

no, I still have swings and my meds are still being adjusted.

"do they not have fedex where you or your mom is?"
No, they have it. I forgot to mention that there had been a few days where I forgot to take it.

If I checked myself into a mental hospital would I have a good chance of getting laid. What would a crazy bitch want to hear?

[Ben Young]

"is Donnie Darko your favorite movie because you can relate to him? "
Maybe. I'm not really sure why it's my favorite movie.


"What was the crazy girl's affliction? "
She says it was severe paranoia, which I agree she has, but I'm betting there was something else in there too.

"If I checked myself into a mental hospital would I have a good chance of getting laid. What would a crazy bitch want to hear? "
I've only been there once, so I have no idea what your chances would be. My play would be just be consoling, tell her you understand what she's going through, etc.

EDIT:
No way could you get laid while your there though, no one allowed in others rooms unless they are room mates/of the same sex

Can you say a little about your manic states? Is it an enjoyable state to be in a manic state? How much sleep do you typically get when you're at your most manic? Have you ever done any weird things while in a manic state?
