Carolyn is with me in the psychiatric emergency ward for a suicide attempt.
She let go of the wheel in the rain with her heart pounding in her ribs.
She said she doesn't know why, because she's not depressed.
She says she just didn't care if she lived or died,
and laughs and says now she needs a new car.
From my most recent psychiatric hospitalisation. I was psychotic (due to type 1 bipolar disorder) and also had lithium poisoning, which was very dangerous.

Carolyn was another patient with me in the emergency room.
