so that was that was nice like the kids there made a poster for me they like made it feel like were the kids there like welcoming you yeah yeah they were super nice and then yeah the first day there was pretty hard um all the days there were super hard it was super boring the place there they didn't allow so i thought they would have allowed phones and stuff like that because what i understood i was that night that i found out i was being um i was going like being transported there um

I thought that I was going to be allowed to have my phone.

I thought that I was going to be able to have my phone like going there, like, and like be able to like talk with people while I was being like, like taken there.

Um, but no, so we can't, we didn't have any electronics except for computers, which had like heavily restriction, heavy restrictions on them.

So we couldn't do anything.

i guess so in a way but it's also like that's my job is to be on my phone 24 7. so you're also kind of addicted to your phone loki yeah but so it probably felt a little good to just be like unplugged it might not have felt good but sometimes things that don't feel good are the best things for you yeah yeah um but yeah it was it was hard and scary and stuff like that um and then like

and then, um, yeah, I was there for 61 days.

So around two months, but, um, obviously I didn't want to be there, but if I was going to be there, I had to put in the work to leave.

So I tried really hard to put in the work to leave and stuff like that.

And I did, and I did learn some stuff there, like some coping skills, but

it's kind of the same stuff that i have learned over and over again for the past six years just more intensive yeah just more like i'm literally doing this every single day so mondays we would have group therapy wednesdays we'd have group therapy fridays we'd have group therapy um every day we had breakfast lunch and dinner sometimes the chefs would forget to come in so we would have to cook ourselves something

No, I didn't cook actually.

I just ate cheese sticks and yogurt the whole time I was there.

Hey.

I swear.

Like they would make like enchiladas and stuff like that and I was like, I don't eat that.

Yeah.

So I just had yogurt.

uh smoothie bowls and um cheese sticks and then they would have us weigh ourselves mondays and like do checkups mondays just to make sure you're healthy they took good care of us there but i just didn't like it that much and then um

We got to call our parents Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, Sundays, but only for 20 minutes at a time, so that was pretty hard.
