Been there, done that - lost the Tshirt.
I had 'self induced' psychosis when I was 18 doing this drug that awake for 4 days and this girl I liked at the time was pregnant with another man's kid and she lost the baby dumped me and asked out my brother while the girl I fell in love with for ages was with her B/F and I was in her neighbourhood auditionining for this movie the director said I'd be perfect for, I'm a musician, not an actor, but I did all anyway... I ended up thinking I didn't need sleep and I could save the world, like Jesus or something. I guess I went around feeling like Jesus haha towards the end, and that was cool.
I spent like the better part of 28 days in a mental hospital in 2005, that's also when I got diagnosed as Bipolar.
I've never been back but the whole trip/ I was auditioning for this movie in July after that girl lost her baby and I was in the Mental Hospital in August and by September 2005, I was like... 'Fuck it' got myself out and about again and enrolled into Lambeth College and started in September... I guess I felt like myself again by October/November and, 2006 was cool.
When thing happened to Charlie Sheen, I was like...
Fuck Charlie Sheen, 'Bi-Winning', I was Bi-Jesus.
Also, when I went into hosptal and half the town knew me as my street name 'Slash' because, that's what I was running around calling myself, my sister at the supermarket over heard two guys talking about me saying
'Have you heard, Slash went crazy'
or, something like that.
I know 2 people who went to the same mental hospital as me after I went and, because I went, they called on me. I only went there once, other people went there like 2, 3, 4 times, and for some reason, they really need it too, I think.
I've never been back 'except to visit those people' and... I'm 25 now. But I've been over the edge and came back stronger, I think. Also, a part of me feels really old for it, like... Time meant nothing as I waited those first couple of days I was in there.
Ohwell.
