TRIGGER WARNING: 5150/su*cide

“Down is the sensory experience of my psychiatric hold, after an attempt to take my life in 2018. My visit, for a multitude of reasons, was incomprehensible; being discharged and able to go home felt like a rescue mission. The song touches my difficulty perceiving the world around me and returning to a new normal. How could I return without traumatizing friends? How could I return without breaking my family further? I felt more alone after than I did before going in.”
