I had a friend who went crazy too

just letem do their thang until they're back, and don't do anything to make your quality of life worse just because someone who used to be there for you isn't any more.

i got a friend like that, he seems to be doing better after he got on meds though.

be prepared for the fight of your life if he thinks you're a threat to him.

Update.

My friend returned home after being missing for 2 days. I contacted his father to see if he was ok, he refused to tell me what happened to his son. I contacted JR's younger (step)brother who told me that JR is 'safe' in a mental hospital. It sounds like his family is just going to act like JR never existed. Sad.

Well shroomery, be safe out there.
:peace:

Good luck.  These situations are so hard.  A girlfriend of mine had a 40 year old brother who became mentally ill (diagnosed with drug-induced schizophrenia) during his mid to late teenage years.  The onset was extremely rapid and occurred after the guy went on an LSD bender.  Similar symptoms to what's been discussed here.  His family, not knowing what to do, put him into a state mental hospital which really seemed to do nothing but worsen his symptoms. 

After getting out, he would often run away from home and his mom and sister would have to go looking for him, sometimes hundreds of miles away in nearby big cities (Reno, NV was a favorite).  Often when they found him, he would be in terrible shape, having lived on the streets destitute, malnourished, using drugs (with a particular affinity for meth), mentally insane and at times seemingly close to death.

It's been over two decades since, and he still lives at home with his mom who has to take care of him since he has been unable to progress through community college or hold down a job.  His medication routine has his most scary, disruptive and at times violent tendencies under control, but he is definitely not of an entirely rational mind.  I actually like the guy quite a bit and see a lot of potential, but in these situations I believe the only thing that can really help to repair the damage is the close support of family and friends.

All too often, family resigns and friends slowly lose contact as they become frustrated with how their old friend's behavior has changed and just don't want to deal with the volatility of their illness.  This is the worst case scenario, as genuine caring human interaction will be the best medicine for people in these states of mind.  Unfortunately, it's much easier to say than to do.

All the best of luck, to you and your friend! :heart:

Treacherous fucking faggots.

A mental hospital isn't going to do anything to help him feel more comfortable being himself in this realm.  The only thing a mental hospital will do is make all of the other shitheads feel more comfortable living inside of their bullshit worlds.


You friend needs a teacher and a community to help him with his uniqueness.  This society isn't at all accommodating to those who are different.  As we can see, many people who belong to this fucked up "cultural system" feel like entrusting an inherently tyrannical system with their own "ill" child's care is appropriate.


Your friends father sounds like a faggot ass piece of shit.  Father isn't even a word he's permitted to use in self-reference.

I'd say it depends on the mental hospital. they aren't the stereotypical image of an "insane asylum" anymore, but some of the more conservative ones can do more harm than good. Some of the good ones though can help people a lot. The one my brother went to was the first place he was treated as a human being, and they really helped boost his confidence and get through the emotional toll of experiencing schizophrenia, and once he came to terms with it he improved rapidly. With my family it just got worse and worse because my conservative prick parents treated him like he was just a disappointment and a burden


I sincerely hope that does not happen to your friend, and I'd recommend checking with the place he is staying to see when he has improved enough to go see him. one of the most important things is that he has support, and apparently he won't find that with his family
