So Tony, you were asking the golden questions, man. It's no surprise to me whatsoever that Your show is as popular as it is because you were asking all the right questions, man. It just is. So yeah, they put concisely, which if you've been listening to me talk up to this point is not my brand. I do my best to be concise, but dude, there's just so much to talk about, man. So yeah, it was like this.

The first hospital stay, the first of three in total over as many years, about two and a half, three years. The first day was three months inpatient stabilization immediately followed by step-down care after I was no longer meeting criteria to remain inpatient. I did a year of court-involved outpatient care, assisted outpatient treatment, and I was taking my meds as prescribed.

I had next goals already lined up that I was working towards, and I was taking my meds, as I say, to emphasize this, exactly as prescribed. They stopped working. So I had to be brought right back again to the state hospital. Another three months where I'm stabilized on a different regimen of medications, and I am released again into court-involved outpatient care, assisted outpatient treatment.

After several months of me doing exactly what I'm supposed to do, taking my meds as prescribed, going to my hearing, seeing my doctor, my social worker, my treatment team, all of that, the meds stopped working again after being out of the hospital for just several weeks. So I go back in for the third and final time of my hospitalization.

And about halfway into that hospitalization, I am at that point now being given above maximum recommended dosages of antipsychotics because they're just trying to do anything to bring me back to reality. And that was what they tried.

So after ruling out, this is such a golden part of this story and like of the journey, I want people to know after more than 10 years of chaos due to a bunch of failed antipsychotics, I remember sitting across from the table from my psychiatrist in that hospital. And she says, I see her looking at this paper and she's crossing stuff off.

And it was this long list of antipsychotics that I had been tried over the years that all just failed. There was one thing on that list that did not have a line through it that that doctor had not crossed out. And she passes this paper to me across the table. And I'm still full on psychotic. Like I'm in the middle of a hospital.
