Hi Jai,
If you check my most recent post under "Crocs, 1987," you'll find a pretty detailed account of my psychiatric history, and a bunch of autobiographical details behind the events in the poems to boot (except for "Atomic Cafe," which is just a long, sustained metaphor brought on by an uncomfortable conversation with my mother on Sunday, and not a recollection of anything that happened to me; I sort of explain where that one came from in a brief response to your comment about "frisky atoms" under "Atomic Cafe.") And yes, I was released from the psychiatric ward of a hospital after the suicide attempt just over two months ago. I found this Web site purely by accident; I Googled "Effexor," and the third entry was a thread about Effexor at the Psycho-Babble site. I've been here ever since, though I've switched neighborhoods. Instead of talking about meds, now I mainly hang out with the more bohemian crowd at the Psycho-Babble Writing page. The people here are pretty cool (especially you), and their work is fun to read. :) Atticus
