I am going away for awhile.

fargon • Aug 2, 2007 11:10 pm
I went off on Keryx to day, for no good reason. My nerves are shot, and I have become a danger to myself and others. The people at the crazy house say I will have to hang in till Monday, then I will go away.
Aliantha • Aug 2, 2007 11:13 pm
Good luck fargon. It's probably a good thing that you're doing this. It's not an easy decision to make, but it's probably the right one.

We'll be here waiting for you when you get back.
monster • Aug 2, 2007 11:27 pm
ttfn don't do anything I wouldn't.....

good luck :)
elSicomoro • Aug 2, 2007 11:35 pm
Hang in there, Fargon. Get some peace and some rest.
xoxoxoBruce • Aug 3, 2007 12:13 am
Sorry to hear you're overwhelmed at the moment. I'll miss your solid gold, republican, red neck. Remember Keryx is the best think you got going for you, so listen to her.
lumberjim • Aug 3, 2007 1:01 am
i love that you recognize it. and i respect the shit out of it. check and you'll see. there is no shit left in it because i have already respected all of the shit right out of it. it's completely shitless.

but seriously, fargon....you ARE the man for loving keryx enough to try and fix what is wrong with you. she's very lucky to have a partner with that kind of objectivity. kudos, and much love to you both.

i just know things will change. I can feel it.
Uisge Beatha • Aug 3, 2007 6:18 am
You take care of yourself, fargon; do what needs doing. You and Keryx will be happier for it. We'll see you back here, soon I hope.
Griff • Aug 3, 2007 7:34 am
You're doing the smart thing man. good luck.
DanaC • Aug 3, 2007 7:40 am
All good thoughts to you Fargon. You are a very impressive individual.
Spexxvet • Aug 3, 2007 9:38 am
Make the most of it, Fargon, and get well quickly. Some advice: don't strangle nurse Ratchet, don't steal a bus and take the guys for a fishing trip, and don't give her a hard time when the nurse says "medication time, gentlemen, medication time".
skysidhe • Aug 3, 2007 10:14 am
wow, respect for stepping up and doing the right thing. It can only get better now!

Come back when your feeling better. I felt like I just started to get to know you so ...:sniff: We'll miss you.
jester • Aug 3, 2007 10:43 am
I hope you start feeling better soon - I'm sure with all the crap you've been going thru with this guy messin' with your stuff, it's taken a lot out of you. You have already taken the steps needed to get yourself back together. Best of Luck and hope to see you back here soon.

I just got off the phone with the mental health nurse At the Tomah Wi. VA Medical Center. It has been decided from on high that it will take an act of uncontrolled rage, or violence perpetrated against persons or property before I can be admitted to the nut house. I cant believe this bull shit.
elSicomoro • Aug 3, 2007 11:07 am
Fuck man...is going through the VA your only option?

The problem is that if you go to the VA and perpetrate violence against some person or property, they'll probably involuntarily commit you AND charge you with a crime. What a fucking catch-22!
theotherguy • Aug 3, 2007 11:20 am
Violence perpetrated against property sounds like a good option. Just find something to tear-up.
wolf • Aug 3, 2007 11:54 am
The VA tend to be overloaded trying to treat drunks and very occasionally actually crazy people.

Go to your closest psychiatric or medical hospital with an emergency service. Get a walk in evaluation. They should be able to find you placement, regardless of your insurance (or veteran) status.

If not, I'll give you directions to mine. Just don't tell them I sent you ... I'll even tell you how to explain your presence in Pennsylvania.
Cicero • Aug 3, 2007 12:19 pm
That's what they told me at an emergency room when I brought in a guy threatening to hurt himself and others. He was turned away from the nut house after the evaluation....

I'm with the tear some crap up at your house camp, and call 911....they like to find evidence at the scene, just don't threaten anyone...look like a threat to yourself. I don't want you pulled in for Domestic Violence......do it alone.

Don't kill yourself just threaten to.
I have the same problem with my brother.....I know it seems rash but really it's the only way. Provide visual evidence of your violence and they have to do it.
limey • Aug 3, 2007 1:57 pm
fargon, good for you in recognising trouble before it gets too big and unmanageable; what a bummer that you can't get preventive assistance.
I'd take wolf's advice if I were in the States ... Hell, I bet she could even proffer a good explanation for what I'd be doing in Philly if I needed her services ...
DucksNuts • Aug 4, 2007 8:11 am
Good luck and take care fargon
Sundae • Aug 4, 2007 8:19 am
Here's hoping you find a way around the red tape. Obviously Wolf knows what she's talking about, so I'd go with her advice.

Good luck, I hope it all works out for you.

Ya know, if you went to Wolf's facility, you'd end up as a story here. You'd be "the crazy Limey guy who came all the way from god-knows-where to check in while I was trying to eat pizza". Are your shoe laces a traditional color? :rolleyes:

Yeah- but she's leaving all the clues on how to annoy people enough to get checked in and stay there. All the wrong things to say at the right time. Like:
"Do you believe I don't want to hurt you?" Say that over and over while they have a mouth full of pepperoni or are trying to make a fresh pot of coffee.....The more you annoy them the longer your stay.
Wear some eel skin pants with lime green shoes. You're a keeper!


Or the worst- refuse to say anything at all...aparently they hate that.
Best of luck fargon. I hope you can get in and stay until you're ready.
fargon • Aug 6, 2007 3:17 am
I don't wear shoes, so shoe laces are kinda moot.:drool: So if a barefoot fat guy shows up at your nut house don't worry he's not really dangerous.
wolf • Aug 6, 2007 11:42 am
It wouldn't be the first time.

You want hard walls or soft?
TheMercenary • Aug 6, 2007 11:55 am
WOW. Fargon you are already on the road to healing if you begin to recognize the issue. Most people can't and that is how they end up in jail or worse. Good luck.
