Mentally Decompensated

E_ emotinal outburst
M_ mentally decompensated
E_  emtionally driven
R_  room 21
G_  gurney
E_  enter the white coat
N_  nurse with pills
C_  Cody already passed out asleep
Y_  youthful love gone bad

R_  restraint bed
O_  open door _guards
O_  opportunity for change
M_  mental health gone bad~tragic

(Spent the day at the emergency
room with Cody..They sent him
to a crisis center...Here we go
again with mental health visits
and pills..)

Hon, I'm so sorry you're going through all of this now. I hope Cody gets the help he needs to handle his recent loss. My stepbrother's son committed suicide on Christmas Eve when his girlfriend broke up with him. At least you were able to get Cody to the hospital in time to save his life. Blessings and peace, Carolyn

sara, I can so relate to this. It's happened to me with my hubbie and his severe anxiety, though never to the point of him having to go to the hospital,but I've been many times to ER for his asthma problems and him not able to breathe, and I have others close to me with problems of emotional outburst. It is indeed tragic when also coupled with other diseases. Some people just have it much worse than others and life seems so unfair to me sometimes. U R like me, writing your pain out thru poetry.
