Hello Everyone,

I can best describe the depression that led me to check into this looney bin as "a feeling of uselessness". I was finding it impossible to forgive myself for horrible things that I've done in the past, feeling like I couldn't live up to my new expectations of myself, and like I was stuck being someone that I wasn't proud of being. Depression was kicking my ass, so I went to my doctor for help, and he told me I'd better check into this funny farm. I believe that the best treatment for just about every disease of the mind is to be of service to others, and in order for addicts to stay in recovery from addiction, they must do things that make them feel useful. I've stayed clean for four months now, but, judging by the depression that brought me to this nut house, I need to do much more in the way of being useful. What I'm getting at here is that I think I might just be able to stay clean, and live a happier, fuller life, if I come up with lots of silly little ways (or big ones) to "live usefully". One day, not long ago, when I was deliberate about thinking of others and being useful, it turned out to be a really great day for me, Ryan Simonetti, and a whole bunch of little kids. I turned my birthday into a SKATEBOARD RAGE-O-RAMA! Check it out!:

Just writing this has made me feel much better, now I think I'm going to write up a whole bunch of ridiculous ideas to usefully and ridiculously try to make the world a way radder place. I Love You All,
Steve-O

Sometimes the hardest thing to feel is useful; in a lot of situations, regardless of who you are. And harder yet is seeing what others see in you. None of us are infallible and the people in your life will forgive you long before you even realize you're worth their forgiveness, but in life moving forward is the only option. I'm glad you find expressing your feelings with all of us that love you as being useful. You're right. Even the most mundane thing you could share with us makes a difference to AT LEAST one person, and moves them in ways you'll never even know about. Writing this reminds me of the movie 'Pay it Forward'....you; Steve, have that effect on people. The one smile you bring to someones face is passed on through the day, and the happy feelings you leave us with are passed on and on and on....it's never ending. Depression is such a huge thing, and I don't think for a moment one person reminding you of your positive impact really helps in the long run, if only it were that easy, but if you read this, I hope it at least brings a smile to your face that you in turn will pass on as well.


You are loved, in good times and in bad.


Heather

If you want, you can come visit me, and help me paint the porch, work on the garden, or play with the horses. This place is cool, as it is an artist's house, once in Vogue magazine, and once visited by Grace Kelly.


So, come on down. I'll put you to work. If you work hard, I'll cook a nice dinner and feed you really well. It's chill, come on down. We need some man-power.


Peace.

Your gonna make it Big Boy! Depression is a terrible, wasteful state of mind. You sound like a brand new day....Make someone's day and give them a hug...you'll be amazed what this simple gesture can do for someone and how it will make you feel.
I give at least 5 a day and I AM A HAPPY GIRL!

Big O,

You are 100% right about needing to be useful, dude. For every time you've made me smile, laugh and damn near piss my pants, I wish I could feed back all of that happiness to you now. You've taken me away from my headful of bullshit countless times - when I've been a guest of the Funny Farm myself, I've been able to escape (mentally, that is!) and have a laugh even when there was little around me directly to laugh at.
You did that, even though I've never even met you, a thousand thankyous could never be enough!

The bravery and honesty you're displaying every day now IS useful, it's immense. As an example to so many young men of our generation, thousands who feel lost and useless, who are ruining and wasting themselves.. your strength will show them there are many different ways to be tough. If just one dude sees how you're changing your life and thinks maybe he can go a little deeper and make some changes too, that is incredible. Looking in the mirror and truly seeing what's there without painting illusions for your own comfort can be so, so hard - most people can't take that truth. Bless you for sharing yours with us.


Be very very good to yourself and the people who've stuck by you - perhaps the best way to pay them back for their love is to let them see you happy, well and free. Peaceful night's sleeping knowing they won't open the paper in the morning to find out you're in jail or dead somewhere - that's gotta be worth a whole lot. If you've not yet found the life that is fulfilling and meaningful for you, that just proves you ain't done living! We really need you out here, need to believe that you'll keep on keeping on despite having gone right to the edge and pissed off it while on fire! I'm telling everyone I know who is an O fan (and there are many) to get their asses on here and straight up tell you that you're needed and wanted in this world and when we send you love, it's real.


You're stripping back to the bone now and I hope you'll be able to see yourself as we do some day soon. Stay up Big Dogg, much love.. and take ya damn meds, you nutter!! :P

One thing I've learned about being a life..style.. slave is to be in the moment. I'm not saying "go out and be a slave" but knowing some of the ways may help. The past is over, there's nothing we can do about it now. The future is not ours to be in.
If we're in the future, how can we live right now?

"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
" ~ Buddha

Another thing a slave does freely and willingly is help others. I do believe you have to help yourself before you can help others. Concentrate on you and your RECOVERY. Don't concentrate on you and your WRONG DOINGS. That is over. All you can do is ask forgiveness from others and if they're not willing to give it, then that's on them. You've done your part, move on. Keep busy and keep moving on!!! You're doing great and a lot of people are very proud of you. Now you need to be proud of you! Look at all of the good things you have done and continue to do. Thank God every day that you have what you have because all can be gone instantly ... including something as simple as your health.

Loved your birthday video ....you're such a big kid at heart, it's easy to see why the kids adore you, you make them so happy. I'm a big kid at heart myself and you've always made me smile. So chuffed that you're beating those demons and you have stayed clean for four months...now that is something to be proud of.....Yayyyy!!
Hey..don't forget when u are next 'home' in London, you gotta pop round for a cup of tea and a bag of monster munch. (pickled onion flavour) Hey, it ain't the Ritz but you'll be well comfy and welcome.

Thinking of you.

lotsa love.

The things you described like: "finding it impossible to forgive myself for horrible things that I've done in the past, feeling like I couldn't live up to my new expectations of myself, and like I was stuck being someone that I wasn't proud of being", those are things WE as addicts feel or have felt at one time or another. We can't let those things get the best of us, cause it could throw us off track. DON'T FORGET THE PAST - But- DON'T DWELL ON IT EITHER...you DO need to remember where you came from SO YOU KNOW WHAT CHOICES NOT TO MAKE AGAIN.
Keep your chin up, I have FAITH in you (I hope that doesn't sound corny!) & congrats on your 4 months!

Dearest Steve-O,
I think I can relate to what you are saying. I have a saying "An artist will go crazy if they are not creating" ~just Dahl So yeah I wrote that, but more the point I live it. If I was not creating artwork for tee shirts, creating 2 cartoons, graphics at my job, and finding outlets to help others, I think I would go mad. I think that if you have figured out that helping others, skateboarding or any other stuff to do helps you to stay away from self-destruction, you sir are ahead of the game already. It sucks to have your mind going in about 500 directions, but it sucks worse to have no control over your mind going in 500 different directions.

There is also another saying I try to hold to:
A WISE MAN ONCE SAID... I HAVE TWO DOGS WITHIN ME, ONE GOOD AND ONE VERY EVIL. THEY BATTLE EVERYDAY. BUT WHEN ASKED WHICH DOG WINS, THE WISE MAN REPLIED... THE ONE I FEED THE MOST.

If you need me you know where to find me.

Your friend,
Justin
