I knew Prufrock Before he Got Famous - Frank Turner
|
|
|
On
Wednesday
3rd
I
was
written
up
at
work
for
saying
things
to
employees
that
made
them
upset
at
management
and
made
them
say
nasty
things
to
the
owner
about
their
job.
So
because
they
were
the
ones
who
got
upset
I
am
the
one
who
got
written
up.
It
was
the
last
straw
for
me
and
on
the
ride
home
I
lost
it
and
wanted
to
drive
my
car
into
a
tree.
I
did
have
the
presence
of
mind
though
to
drive
to
a
friends
house
and
from
there
it
was
suggested
that
I
go
to
a
mental
hospital
for
observation.
So
a
hospital
visit
and
tons
of
people
touching
me
later
I
ended
up
at
a
mental
hospital. I
was
terrified
the
first
day
but
everyone
there
was
very
nice
and
welcoming
and
I
made
some
life
long
friends.
I
was
also
diagnosed
with
COD
co-occuring
disorder.
Which
means
I
have
both
OCD
and
Bipolar
Disorder
type
1
with
substance
abuse
problems
that
mask
it. A
week
and
a
half
later
and
a
few
med
changes
I
am
finally
feel
balanced
out
and
I
am
not
having
anymore
manic
episodes
and
I
let
6
people
hug
me.
It
was
not
an
experience
I
would
like
to
repeat
but
it
was
helpful
for
so
many
reasons. I
have
a
lot
of
work
to
go
through
before
things
are
settled
but
it's
getting
there.
I
have
moved
in
with
one
of
my
friends
and
I
am
going
to
be
all
OCD
and
clean
her
place
tomorrow. The
most
important
part
of
this
story
is
that
one
of
those
6
people
I
hugged
was
my
mom.
If
you
have
this
particular
OCD
problem
then
you
realize
how
emotional
that
is
and
how
much
you
miss
it.
So
when
I
say
best
thing
that
ever
happened
I
mean
it.
