Description
"If this keeps up, I'm going to blow my brains out."It wasn't until I actually said those words that I realized I'd hit rock bottom. I didn't just say them. I meant them.Think back to your school days. Do you remember the kid in the back of the classroom? That quiet one who was different from everyone else? Maybe he didn't dress the same as most kids.
