Call from Johnny.

Hello?

Johnny, what's going on?

Well, man, I'm chillin, I'm breathing.

I'm doing all right. You know, yeah's that's pretty good. It's pretty good if you can

breathe. That's like a good sign of prosperity in my book. Yeah thankful for it man. I'm glad to be here. So what's up, Johnny, what'd you want to talk about?

Well, I had a pretty rough three years since graduating high school.

I've like lost a lot of friends over the past three years,

been in a pretty terrible relationship just like going through my 20s you know.

And you're what 21? I am 21.

Why did you lose a lot of friends?

Um Why did you lose a lot of friends?

So I kind of just gradually stop talking to them because I don't know if it's just like a standard with high school friends that you know over time you just lose them but um I don't know I kind of felt like like I don't know. I was disrespected a lot and I wasn't the most, I don't know, I wasn't the best guy either. But I've kind of get made fun of a lot like I'm a pretty big dude and they kind of make fun of me for that and say a whole lot of other terrible things and

you know I I just felt like I grew out of them, you know. But, um, I don't know, like last year, uh, I was on a three-month drug binge and I was just like holding grudges all the time.

Like my friends would kind of do things that slightly annoyed me and I think with the drug use and like my

I just stopped talking to them I really pushed everyone away and it led to me

having a manic episode.

I went to a mental hospital, spent about 10 days there.

So let me ask you this, when you talk to real therapists about these issues, what do they tell you?

Um, well, 20 has actually had two therapists and we kind of talked about the present moment and what I'm doing at the time you know there I I guess the weird thing about therapy is when you've talked to therapists you're always talking about what's going on in the present time so that you're okay now and you know I don't think I really talked about a lot of the crazy stuff that happened in the

fast more like just the reason why it happened and how I can understand it.

So I guess they just kind of try to help me understand it more.
