Steve-O Checks Himself Into Mental Institution

Jackass star Steve-O announced he's "Back in the Looney Bin" on his Myspace page:

"I've now been clean for 115 days, and I'm, again, in a mental institution. I did so much cocaine, ketamine, pcp, nitrous oxide, and all sorts of other drugs, that, quite simply, my brain is f----d up."

Damn. That's a lot of really major drugs and he did A LOT of them.

He adds that he "frequently suffer[s] from horrible mood swings and severe depression."

"The bottom line is that doing drugs f----d my a-- up, and I'm going to be paying for it for a long time, probably for the rest of my life," he says. "Everyone's going to make their own decisions in life, but nobody needs to make the same mistakes I made."

Steve-O pleaded guilty to felony cocaine possession in June and was ordered to attend rehab for two years.

He says he was inspired to get more help after watching Dr. Drew’s Celebrity Addiction Special on VH1.

We think it's great that Steve-O is so willing to share his struggle so others can learn from him. 

Feel better soon.
