You know that shit about institutional ptsd being worse and less useful than the homeless kind?  Well, now having experienced a bit of both - can 100% agree.

Shit learned from (semi) homelessness (and being housebound in a non-institutional way)-
How to call cabs and uber
(drivers can make good friends)
when to call one
How to use a computer in good ways and in moderation
new ways to get food
The uses of free condiment packets
takeout/delivery can be very useful
Sleep and shelter

Shit learned from institutionalization -
Follow orders
Dissociation
Anhedonia
Dissociation
How to use a computer to dissociate
Traumatizing yourself more even after you get out due to being afraid of yourself
How to not take care of yourself
Anorexia
Dissociation

hmmmmm.....
