Unstable Energy and Trust
We had the oddest interaction with a would-be filmmaker the other night. This “former addict” who claims to be six years clean, was, I am told, decidedly not clean when he approached a certain publicist just three years ago and told us on THIS call he’d just “had a Xanax” so he’s calm, anxiety in check. Um. That’s the drug he’s claiming to be clean from.

Coming Back Up
On a perfectly miserable February afternoon, I walked out of a Michigan psych ward, clutching my plastic bag of possessions in one hand and my mother’s arm with the other, and blinking like a baby animal in the snow-gray light. My retinas burned. It was a significant change from the sterile fluorescents that had been my only source of light for the past several days.

How I’m Learning to Help Myself
I was about 19 when I started to really put together that I was mentally ill and all the words thrown at me started to make sense. However, I kind of just left it at that. The things going in with me had names and now I could put a word with my actions. They kind of just became a crutch. I’m doing this because I have this or that, but there was no action. I kind of just let everything fester, and didn’t have any proper self soothing or help techniques. I was vehemently opposed to taking medication, and looking back I’m not sure I had any valid reason to be so opposed. Perhaps it was the stigma of being labeled “crazy” but I absolutely refused to get medicated or go to therapy regularly. I turned to hard drugs even at one point, struggling for years with them even. I was definitely using everything but actual help to help myself.

We went on a few rides together. After the trip, we kept on talking. Then we hung out at his house a bit.
