it's 9 am and time for my mother to take me to my demise or what she calls it a mental hospital. They are discharging me and all I want to do is stay and never leave. actually, let me rephrase that all I want to do is die. My arms are heavily bandaged for the drive over to the mental hospital. It feels like there's a ton of bricks on each arm and they sting like crazy.

 As we walk out of the hospital people smile at me and say get better soon or have a good day. I can't handle them all being so nice so, I  hang my head and scowl. So I don't have to see all of the super happy people, they just make me uncomfortable. 

After arguing for like 2 and a half hours with my mother. I still have to go to this mental hospital.  She informed me that the place I will be staying is someplace called Lakeview Behavioral Health Hospital. This place sounds horrible and full of wackjobs that were crazy. Great on top of wanting to die I get to go to a place that will attempt to help me and just make me want to kill myself more. 

We walk to the car or should I say Gabe's truck. Gabe's navy blue F-150 truck is sitting right in front of the doors so we can hope in. they are taking me to a new hospital so I can just hate my life more. The drive is completely silent for almost the entire 3-hour duration of the car ride. 

 we get like 15 minutes away. My mother turns around in her seat and looks into my eyes and she says we wouldn't have to do this if you didn't try to kill yourself. Your life isn't even that bad why would you do such a thing.

 Oh, top of her taking me to this insane place she is also asking why I did something. This irritates me.  Mom, you wouldn't even know how my life is. I say to her. 

 She scowls at me she is famous for that scowl it says I'm mad that you just said that and what comes after this won't be good. You could have come to me for help I would have helped you and we could have gotten you help. she says

 NO, mom, you wouldn't have helped. You are so invested in your boyfriend that you haven't even paid attention to me. I snap at her. 

Well, you don't know that I would have put everything down to help you. she says in a calmer tone.

 If you would have put everything down and help me then why aren't you doing that now? You are pretty much giving up on me and saying that I'm too far gone. now you have to put me into a mental hospital. Thank you, mother, for showing me that I am a complete failure and you can't even stand to see me anymore Thank you. I say in an almost shout. I turn around and don't look at her. I'm just so infuriated.

She looks stunned and doesn't say anything. I look out the window just in time to see the giant building that says Lakeview Behavioral Health Hospital plastered on the side of the building in giant blue letters. UGGG, I think this is going to suck.
