Wicked Director David Stanley: 'I had my first full-blown nervous breakdown (and all i got was this lousy blood soaked t-shirt)'

He writes on MySpace April 23, 2006:

thursday, around 3 in the morning, i'm blogging about how i want to kill myself. i have had a huge fight with my neighbor, gotten some disappointing news from work, and been smoking too much pot, and watching "hostel" waaay too much.

i had slashed open my hand so awful that the muscle popped up in between the skin flap, as if i was squeezing it between my fingers, and white, maggot-brained little nodes and a severed nerve took a shot to wave to me and say hello...

blood is spurting, orgeysering everywhere, spattin' the new copy of the LA Weekly, the one with L-ke Ford on the cover . . . hitting the floor, flying all over the white shirt I bought in Chicago with Ally.

...they sent me over to the Northridge Medical Center to meet with a team of skilled psycho-analysts and social workers. So i went there, to the most depressing hospital waiting room I've ever been to. And I waited. Six hours.
