Georgetown Behavior Health Institutions

April 21st

Normal routine as it has been for the last 2 weeks. But this time after everyone woke up, a new guy came out. He just stood there, looking around seeing where he could sit, he was in a hospital gown, i thought it was kinda strange, so i called him over to sit with me. He walked over and i asked him about the hospital gown, he told me that his pants and shirt had a bunch of strings on them so they didn't allow him to wear it, so they gave him a hospital gown. I asked him why he was here, just like everyone asks each other, majority of the people say because of suicide thoughts or actions, his was because of homicide and suicide thoughts, which was crazy, because on my charts it also says homicide and suicide thoughts. I then asked his name, he replied with "Addison" Then it hit me, i knew from there and then Addison was going to be something in my life that is going to make me smile and laugh but also make me cry my self to sleep and just want to jump off a bridge. Later then haddon came over and so did other people because they all wanted to meet the new kid, they do this with alot of new kids. Addison was very tall, he had to have stood at 6'3 he has pale skin and blond hair. he wears glasses and had blue crystal eyes. At this time, i was allowed to leave the unit, but of course Addison being the new person, couldn't. so he had to stay in the unit. After spending the day with him, i didn't feel too bad about being in there. He made it okay. Time seemed to fly by.
