Jackass star Steve-O is blogging from the psych ward. The thirty-three year old has been placed on a fourteen day psychiatric hold at Los Angeles’ Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after threatening suicide over the weekend. The comedian is also facing felony charges for possession of cocaine.

Steve-O blames his condition on the lasting side effects of years of abusing drugs, writing on his Myspace blog:

“‘Before the day when Johnny Knoxville, Jeff Tremaine, Big Regg, Swizz, Rick Kosick, Dimitry Elyaschevich, Cordell Mansfield, and Trip Taylor came to my home and, physically, forced me into the hospital, I had thought of ‘bipolar’ as a ‘good’ thing. I rationally deduced that, with our time in this life being so limited, it was productive to stick to nothing but extremely high ‘highs’, and extremely low ‘lows.’ “I figured that, since I am an extraordinarily ‘tough’ individual, I could handle it. “After four days in a psychiatric ward… I am no longer ‘5150-status’ (which was the three-day ‘hold’ on me, resulting from suicidal behaviour). I am now ‘5250-status’ (which means that the ‘hold’ has been extended to 14 days, for the exact same reasons). “I’m not getting out of this ‘insane asylum’ any time in the immediate future, so, I’m going to learn as much from the experience as possible. So far, I’ve figured out that I did a great deal of damage to my brain by abusing drugs and, now that they’ve all worn off, I’m facing the consequences.”
