While in a drug rehab, I have gotten a doctor to prescribe me 120 milligrams of methylphenidate a day, Ritalin, which is like super therapeutic, like way beyond what any kid should ever be on.

I didn't even realize it back then, but I'm dependent on all of this shit. And life at home had become pure hell because, you know, I'm trying to get out of this rehab. And every time they let me go home, I do something crazy, like drink a bottle of rubbing alcohol and wake up in an ER with a catheter and don't remember shit. Like I don't know how any of it happened.

And so when I said my little brother has a lot of resentments, like that's why this started. And I'm taking all of my parents' attention from him.

My parents are having to go pick me up out of gutters or have the police pick me up because I've run from the rehab facility.
