Yeah, that's what my other girlfriend and I were talking about. I cannot (Nor can she) take on another person's problems, as selfish as that sounds. Our families have to come first, especially the special babies.

that sounds like straight up paranoid schizophrenia - I assume people have had him checked for that, there is a lot of medication that can help people with it now days

Your family/children first. Never waiver from that, or allow anyone to convince you otherwise.
My first wife was an addict which caused our divorce and ultimately her death at age 36.
The anger displayed to you tells me that your friend isn't ready to accept her problems and doesn't really want to improve her life at this time.
Trying to help her at this moment, will be futile and will only lead to strain on your healthy relationships. Hanging around "crazy" people will lead you to do "crazy" things. I'm not saying that you will develop any addictions but you could easily begin making decisions or taking actions that you would not have previously made.
I just said a prayer for you and your friend. Best of luck.

Losing people to addiction is a hell of a thing. You sorta feel like you're standing on a shore and watching them drown.
I've had more than my share of problems with benzodiazepines, it's a stuggle, which sucks because life is already fricked up enough to begin with.

know how you feel. One of my closest HS friends is borderline straight jacket insane. I went off to college while he started working out of HS. He got into some real hardcore drugs that did something to his brain I can't even fathom. He is to the point now where he stays in a rental duplex owned by his parents. No furniture except a filthy chair and a mattress on the floor. Trash all over the place. Just abhorrent living conditions. One side of his face looks like he had a stroke and he has a constant tic in his neck/head region. Scary thing is that he is fully delusional. He has created some strange secret code in his head that he applies to names, song lyrics, etc.. For instance, we had a mutual friend named Trajan. He will nervously scribble the name Trajan and assign some weird looking symbol to every letter and translate it to mean "death to all." If you are brave enough to go around him now....you have to endure the entire time with him translating stuff. He spends hours upon hours sitting alone scribbling stuff out per this code that he asserts was given him by supernatural means. And in his warped mind, he thinks we (his former friend who have tried to reach the old him) are living in his reality and that it all makes perfect sense to us. I am not frightened of much but being around him made me extremely uneasy. So much so that I just gave up hope for him and stopped personally checking on him for concern of my own safety. I do still speak to his mom on occasion but her updates are never good. Eight years after he snapped, they have given up hope for him. They just let him stay in their rental duplex free and pay his water and electric and groceries. They stopped renting the other unit for fear of what he might potentially do to harm someone. They are broken hearted to a degree I can't imagine. I have suggested to her that she have him institutionalized and she knows in her heart that she should. I think she just can't pull that trigger...hoping that she can just hide him away from society and provide for his basic needs. I have seen mental illness in several people but never anything remotely approaching what has happened to him.
That is very sad. Sounds like he might have schizophrenia.

If you think she is a threat to herself take her to the ER. Also check out Baton Rouge Behavioral. The coroner can hold them for up to 14 days. They are a psych ward, but have a lot of addicts as well. Sounds ideal for her. They will adjust medicines correctly and set up out patient treatment.

Just keep being smart about it. You have to put your family first.

Sex Drugs and Rockin Roll are hard to compete against.

No. You have to get psychian ordered there. You have to be a threat to yourself. Not just anyone.
Posted on 4/19/14 at 7:35 am to tigah0001
You can check in as anyone, but they won't hold you as long if you check yourself in.

You could intervene. Those that want help: they go to a treatment center on their own behalf. Those that don't but need it: they go to a state run facility under protest. Either way, she would get help.

Plenty of worse phone calls to be had than that. Keep your head up kid.

Then she disappeared for 15 years.
tss
i worked with a hot chick once that everyone desired to have sex with. she went to work somewhere else and i had lost contact with her. about 7 or 8 years later i get a tap on the shoulder at a grocery store. it was her and she says "hey skillet"...i was amazed at how undesirable she had become in those years and i almost vomited when i saw her.
i guess the moral of my story is that 15 years is just too many years for a chick to overcome.
hope this helps
