This is a depressing read. This Japanese man writes a journal about his descent into isolation, misogyny, alcohol and drugs. The epilogue tells a very different story.
Moderate: Forced institutionalization, Gaslighting, Toxic friendship, Addiction, Alcoholism, Alcohol, Body shaming, Drug abuse, Drug use, Injury/injury detail, Misogyny, and Suicide attempt
