Another question to ask...

 How about that discharge, that you cannot imagine

why they are keeping you locked up with no deadline

for discharge. What would be a good question when 

and if you find yourself institutionalized? That 

question seems simple right? But who will tell you

all you need to do sometimes is ask the correct 

questions. Like this one: "What do I need to do in

order to be discharged?" Seems easy right? Not on

my watch. They might say, "Well, let's just focus on

such and such for now." This is called dodging the 

question. You need to put your foot down and ask

again. 

I caution you not to get angry. If they think you are

being aggressive and not accepting of your diagnosis

they will keep you longer, until you show good Bx.

This Bx = Behavior. You are not allowed to get angry.

You are not allowed to fight. You are not allowed to

fight back. So, learn the program. Argue by using words

but don't fight, don't yell. And most of all? Don't refuse 

the medicine. These all point to denial. Oh, and how they 

love denial. It keeps you longer and keeps you from

discharge.
