Anyone had to do an intervention with a family member or friend?
I have a childhood friend of mine that off on another fucking planet. At minimum, he needs a psych eval, possibly rehab.
This friend's dad committed suicide 2 years ago, and ever since then, he's been going down hill. His friends and family are very concerned about his wellbeing at this point. He's been using at least one hard drug recently, and his brother suspects more than one hard drug. But he's gone nuts. He wants to quit his job, move to the middle of no where, and he's paranoid as all get out. He asked his sister for a DNA sample because he was convinced his dad wasn't his real dad. Well yesterday, he told his sister that he thinks everyone had been stealing from him, the NSA is spying on him (which, who are they not spying on), and a family that he sees at a local restaurant is his real family and they know it, so they quit going there because they know he knows that he's their biological child. He's been saying all sorts of creepy shit like "I am my own darkest secret" and he sent me a text saying "tele talk about me bf to bf." He told his brother some shit like that, in person, saying "I know you tele talk tele contact about me to people that have no business being tele talking about me." We don't know what the fuck that means. At minimum, he might be a schizo.
But the guy is 27 years old and has lost all of marbles. He's using some kind of hard dope, and is probably gonna need meds for the rest of his life, and live in a half way house.
I guess the question is - how do tip toe around egg shells but him the help he needs? Because he's a loose cannon right now.
