I have dissociative amnesia. It's a lot better now though, the amnesia. They didn't rape me or anything like that, if that's what you're asking. They left and didn't lock the isolation door so I went back to my room and hid under the covers. The guards came in and ripped the blanket off me, got...

\ By standard, does that mean you think it was right? The psych ward one, I mean. Because I don't want to be upset about something that I deserved. But I don't know if I deserved it. I don't think I did. I just went back to my room. Do you think there's a difference between sexual assault and...
