In the Basement, In the Sky

Jen is trying his best, okay? His best is just... never good enough. His boyfriend thinks he's cheating, his ex-girlfriend wants him back more than anything, and they're all terrible at laying down boundaries, so all that results in is a world of heartache and hurt for everyone. He suffers from depression and ADHD that he medicates with street drugs, which only makes everything worse, and with every step up the ladder he has to climb to get to the top, he slides back ten more rungs.

But at least once you hit rock bottom you don't have anywhere to go but up.

Warnings: Mental illness (depression and adhd), drug use/addiction/abuse/overdose, suicide attempt, hospital (ER), narcotics anonymous
