i was committed to the psych ward against my will.

Against your will?

yup! that happens when you're extra bonkers. at the time i wasn't delusional but i was amped as fuck and i was rambling about shit the cops didn't understand. but it wasn't the cops' decision to lock me up, that was the doctors' call

That's called a 5150 here in California, although that's only up to 72 hours. I hope you're doing better now!

much better! i'm stable, sober, and on my meds.

same here! the only problem is that coffee makes me so amped i seem manic, and i have a 12 cup a day habit. also there's the fact i had a traumatic brain injury that, as far as i can tell, has made me permanently hypomanic. the only reason people didn't realize that earlier was because i was overmedicated on lithium, which would make anyone a zombie, even someone with permanent hypomania.

A 5150 can be extended if the Psych Ward doctors see it as necessary, but I think it gets a new name
