Getting into serious trouble at age 30 and spending about a year locked up in a few different facilities.
I had a psychotic episode that I was trying to numb with d***s and alcoholic to the point where I blacked out and committed some pretty serious crimes. It was the first time I'd been in trouble other than a DUI and getting caught with pot at a much younger age.
Because of this episode, even though there are people who will never talk to me again, I was able to finally get the help I needed and was properly diagnosed.
These were some of the darkest times I've ever lived, but I wouldn't change a thing.
