Hey guys, I recently started offering a 7-day free trial for anyone who'd like to listen

completely ad-free.

Just go to patreon.com-drno-sleep or click the link found in one of my recent episodes

which will take you right to the ad-free podcast on Spotify.

After your 7-day trial ends, it's only 5 bucks a month and you can cancel anytime you'd

like.

Again, that's patreon.com-drno-sleep.

Now time for the story.

Freak, for-I'd creep, retard, dickhead, nerd, douchebag.

That's what they used to call me in school.

It's not that I couldn't fit in.

It's just that they didn't allow me to.

Always an outsider, and never in the cool kids' groups, I didn't have any friends growing

up.

My family moved around the country a lot, so I just had to follow them to whatever city

they headed to next.

It was exhausting, but there was no other way around it.

You see, by the time I was 15 or 16, I had already changed 12 different schools.

My folks always said, it's gonna get better, Danny.

It never did, though.

I was verbally abused, made fun of, beaten up, you name it.

I was a constant target for the bullies of whatever school I found myself going to.
