    Entry #6

    Hello, my name is Toby and I was recently diagnosed with OCD, ADHD and PTSD.In today’s entry, Emotions run high as I’m struggling a little more with my mental health than usual, experiencing unhealthy and unwarranted aggravation directed toward small things.I cover the panic attack that cause me to batter my face into a black eye and swollen cheek and how hopeless you feel when attacking yourself.Being taken to the hospital via ambulance only for security to take my personal items and treat me as though I was some dangerous addict all the while I lay on a bed in the fetal position exhausted and terrified.Being used by people I considered friends and turning a blind eye to the reality that it was never me they liked, but what I could do for them or what they could get from me.Finally, realizing no one is going to swoop in and fix my life for me, this is no movie or book where everything is written to work out and it’s up to ME to fight for what I want.There’s a lot to unwrap in this entry, but know that it’s real and happening to good people who just want help and guidance, and because of that…I’m still recording.
