to die i've become suicidal that should scare me but it didn't i'm too far gone to care so i ended up taking a bunch of pills i left the shelter in bakerville the money i saved because we had to get part time jobs living through to the money he saved i went ahead and left the shelter, this person i didn't like i wanted to god bless of it i make made a plan to go into a hotel for a few weeks and left the hotel then he went and took a bunch of pills that evening and then a.d. dell from starbuck's walked other than from across the street and

parade with me and gave me coaxes and called 9-1-1 and i was rushed to the emergency room and there for 3 days i was there for 3 days and then he moved into a mental hospital for 7 days then went into an inpatient facility and that who helped mentally illness people and drove me all the way down here to jasmine's place the only lgbtq in san francisco with a friend of mine it was mind blowing and not just that they have decided to allow straight people into there and a lot of hmo phobias especially the transgenders they get picked on
