I finished!

[stargaze89]

So I finished The Bell Jar yesterday. It was certainly an interesting book, detailing the horrors of psychiatric hospitals for women in the 1960s. I had read articles before about shock treatments and pill pushing during that time, but this book made it much more real. It ended a bit abruptly...maybe Sylvia Plath died before she truly finished?

Hey...fear not, I'm an "old Maid" too. And, technically speaking even "Caffeine intoxication" or withdrawal is classified as a mental disorder---even on a simple level many more have "mental illness" than they even know. I know quite well that I have bipolar, but it's still weird to say. XO

I'm not married. No plans to get married anytime soon, barring needing to for student housing at med school. Even the boy has quieted down about the concept. You'll probably beat me.
