Asylum
Beth and I spent the day at Central State Hospital in Milledgeville, GA. This place is full of both tragedy and hope. It's one of my favorite places to visit, especially with a video camera. I honestly feel as if I am visiting my ancestors, possibly myself from a past lifetime. There is something very healing about visiting the memorial. The energy is sacred and beautiful.

Hey Jayme, I also live in Atlanta and am labeled as having a psychiatric disorder. Between my 2nd and 3rd year of law school I (among other things) quit taking all psych meds. My 3rd year, the year without meds, my grades improved dramatically and I graduated in 2004 but the Georgia Bar won't let me take the bar exam. Long story. I'd love to met ya sometime. Sally
