You are free to e-mail if you choose.
Since we don't have any direction of inquiry at this point, I would suggest caution in wording.

 		I sent an e-mail inquiry to admissionsSPLATklepsydra.net, stating that I was interested in entry info b/c I'm running an intervention on my wife's drinking problem. Got this response back:

Thank you for your interest in the Admissions Process at Klepsydra.net.
Our Intake experts are reviewing your message and will get back to you
as required.
Klepsydra.net
"It's never too late."

"It's never too late." might be something? I don't know. I'll keep this thread posted if they "get back to [me] as required."

 		Dunno if this is a trout or not. Forgive me if it is.

Under Testimonials it says "Before my wife went to Klepsydra for help, she couldn't even leave the house. Her delusions had completely crippled both of our lives. Thanks to the wonderful treatment she received at Klepsydra, we can freely walk around Aglaura without her worrying about the "creepy men" hiding in the shadows. I can't thank you enough."

Sounds to me like she just played a few too many ARGs Wink

Ooh, they have an out-patient center in Lancaster, PA. I'm headed up there in July, I'll have to check them out Smile

It's a shame Phyllis hasn't been coming to the meetings and participating in JD's place, as she has a right under Aglaura's strange by-laws to do. We could use her help to rally support for the APL since she is so popular with many of the residents. I hope we can convince her to take part by next month's meeting, since I'm afraid the pro-development camp might press for a vote next time if they feel they can win. I know JD's situation has totally consumed both her thoughts and time, but his recent commitment to Klepsydra (I still can't get over the ironic coincidence of that little tidbit) may have given her some small measure of relief. I need to speak to her soon.

I don't know why I feel as if I should be able to get through to him somehow, that I should be the one to make sense of the craziness he is spouting almost non-stop these days. But I failed once again. His words made no more sense to me than the events of my own life have lately.


I wonder what exactly got JD sent there. Maybe something similar to Dale from the first CTW? I'm going to see if I can pose as a family member (once or twice removed) and see if I can get any info.

 		staffSPLATklepsydra.net
When I heard the news about the jumper at the park, and spec'd that it might be JD, I felt badly about not trying to send support to him via email.
So, I sent a quick note to admissions with 'Please forward to JD Willingham' in the subject line.
I received the autoresponse, and noticed this in the header:
Quote:
admissionsSPLATklepsydra.net <admissionsSPLATklepsydra.net> <snip timestamp> Reply-To: staffSPLATklepsydra.net
(bold is mine)
I think that's a new email address.

I re-sent it to that staff addy...no autoresponse, no bounceback, no reply.
I thought it might be a way of finding out if JD is still there.

 		They have a live chat with a mental health professional coming soon. Also an outpatient facility in New Orleans (my city), wonder if I could get an address for it & check it out.

 		OK, this might be going out on a limb, but I sent this for the fun of it:

Quote:
To Whom It May Concern,

I am a sociologist gathering statistics for the states of New York and New Jersey. Currently, we are in need of adult suicide statistics following the precedent set by the following article.

Danish Institute for Clinical Epidemiology, National Institute of Public Health, Copenhagen. mkSPLATdike.dk

This study describes the prevalence of suicidal ideation and attempted suicide in a representative survey among adults in Denmark and gives the proportion of people reporting a suicide attempt that results in contact with the health care system. The data for the 1994 Danish national health interview survey were collected by personal interview and a self-administered questionnaire. A subsample of 1362 individuals participated in the part of the survey that addressed suicidal behaviour (64% of the random sample). The results show that 6.9% reported having had suicidal thoughts within the past year. Averaging across all age groups the overall prevalence of people reporting ever having made a suicide attempt was 3.4% and the one-year prevalence was 0.5%. Suicidal ideation was more prevalent among young people than among older people, whereas ever-attempted suicide showed no age gradient. Both suicidal ideation and ever-attempted suicide were more prevalent among economically inactive people (e.g. unemployed) and among unmarried or divorced people. We estimate that 50-60% of suicide attempts reported in a representative, national survey become known to the healthcare system.
Kjoller M , Helweg-Larsen M .
PMID: 10817315 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

I would very much like to send you our survey to be distributed to any of your adult male patients who have attempted suicide. There are three criteria for eligibility to this survey: 1. The subject must be male . 2. The subject must be over 18. 3. The subject must have attempted suicide within the last 6 months.

All information is confidential. No names must be given, only the pertinent information asked on the survey need be answered.

Please contact me if your healthcare facility will take part in this cruicial analysis. I will then send you the appropriate paperwork.

Thank You For Your Time,
R. Greene
Institute of Statistical Research


How many male suicide attempts in the last 6 months could they have? IF they respond, we can then construct a survey to identify our subject and give us the info we're looking for. Twisted Evil Muuuahahah.

 		I Don't Get It??
I don't get it. The only suicide victim we know of in CTW2 is JD.

1. JD was having problems but still at home in December 2005 as confirmed by Dale's journal entry here.
Quote:

I can't help but feel sorry for JD. As bad and as crazy as my dreams and screwed up memories have gotten sometimes over the past few months, it seems minor compared to what he's going through. He literally seems completely detached from reality lately, and I know poor Phyllis is scared to death by it all. Especially since she seems to be one of the lucky ones who hasn't been affected by all this craziness, unlike many of us.


2. As of February 18, 2006, JD still having problems but still at home as confirmed by Dale's journal entry here.
Quote:

I wish I could say the same for JD. I visited with him for a while today. Phyllis is at her wit's end with the whole situation. She puts up a strong front but I can see right through it. She's crumbling inside and can't take much more. I don't know why I feel as if I should be able to get through to him somehow, that I should be the one to make sense of the craziness he is spouting almost non-stop these days. But I failed once again. His words made no more sense to me than the events of my own life have lately.


3. JD tried to commit suicide on February 28, 2006 and was committed to Klepsydra as confirmed by Aglaurs News
Quote:

News archive

February 28, 2006:

Local official hospitalized

Local official hospitalized. J.D. Willingham, the Borough solicitor and councilman, has been hospitalized at an undisclosed location. The exact nature of his illness was not revealed although his wife, Phyllis, has told reporters that his condition is "very serious." At present there is no word as to when Willingham will be able to return to his duties as attorney and councilman, or if his wife will assume councilman responsibilities as allowed by Aglaura Borough laws.

And Dale's Journal entry here.
Quote:

It was indeed the police at my door, just like in my dream, but they weren't looking for me. Instead they had come to tell me that JD Willingham had just tried to commit suicide.


4. We get confirmation that it is Klepsydra from Dale's journal here.
Quote:

I know JD's situation has totally consumed both her thoughts and time, but his recent commitment to Klepsydra (I still can't get over the ironic coincidence of that little tidbit) may have given her some small measure of relief. I need to speak to her soon.


5. Since JD was admitted on February 28, that means that in 3 more days he will have been there for exactly 4 months. Therefore, he would not be included in the survey anyway.

6. As to why he attempted suicide, look back at number 1 above.
Obviously his memories and dreams of the past are just more than he can handle. After all, he did die a horrific death back in 2003.
And being detached from reality must mean that things just aren't the way he remembers them to be, in other words this reality just isn't real at all to him.

7. I'm putting seven here just so that I don't end this with the previous number which seems to be very unlucky right now. And to say, did you notice the fingers on the hands of those nurses at Klepsydra in the comics? I think that Phyllis should get JD out of there. Maybe, if we can find him, she should hire Keith as a private nurse for him at home.

8. Oh yeah, and one more thing. At this point, we don't know if Mark Dunn actually fell, jumped or was pushed. It's still up in the air on that one.

Eh, I think MG mighta screwed up a bit there, thinking it was 3 months instead of four. Perhaps if she sent an addendum, asking for everyone in the last, say.... 6 months?

And we have the cryptic message on his page from Keith not to believe everything we read. Does he know more about the "suicide" than we do?
