Jun 17, 2022·3 repliesanyone ever had to cut off a schizophrenic friend?
best friend of 15+ years, filthy rich family and no drive to achieve. both into writing but he was much more into it than me. eventually becomes convinced he is “the nobody”/the actual main character in the anime that he’s convinced is his life. i had been pretty much telling him the same things for 9+ years - family just wants to see you commit to something and they’ll help you out - doesn’t do that, perpetual basement weed smoker, stirs up s***, gets cut off
thinks people are communicating to him on /x/ threads and accuses this girl I was friends with when we worked at a coffee shop together of being “sent to befriend me.”
eventually moves to texas with his paranoid dad and we text pretty much every week about music and stuff. four months of me texting him with no response goes by until one night texts me at 11pm to talk on the phone. we have a 2 hour phone call about the same oscillating s*** the past decade has been about. reveals to me that he blocked my number for 4 months over something remembered from like 5 years ago. then goes back to texting me about the same zero accountability s*** the next day.
his problems are always impossible to overcome and I could never understand them. i point out he’s been stuck in the same spot for a decade and has never taken my advice. tells me my advice is useless because I can’t understand how it is to be estranged from family and the kicker is: “why did you even reach out,” as if that’s the sole purpose of the friendship in his eyes. told him to f*** off and think he blocked me again lol
i feel free but a bit guilty, wondering if anyone has been through something similar and how you felt with those conflicting feels

very hard for people with BPD to keep relationships. Also unrelated my cousin has BPD and she's been to the psych ward over 300 times.

this makes me feel worse cause the person I cut away from also had trouble keeping relationships. But some s*** is not easily forgiven.

That splitting s*** is real. Depending on the day he either thought I was the greatest friend ever and his brother for life or Satan. Always taking any little thing as a betrayal, which would trigger a massive meltdown. It was extremely tiring and he burned a lot of bridges because of it.

Never healthy to self-diagnose brother. If you really think you might have something close to BPD you should see a psychiatrist broski. From what I understand, BPD and Bi polar are two of the hardest things to diagnose and treat properly. Met quite a few people in the mental health ward for those kinda reasons

@Galaxy it’s unfortunate and wish I realized sooner like all our other friends, but it’s such a weight off. I know it goes without saying but man does it catch you off guard when you realize someone believes you exist in service to them

Worth a listen. His most concise album since NWTS. His lyrics haven’t changed one bit though.

Young kids need new music to feel like they’re a part of something. Also helps that it’s a great album.

I have no idea who "The Nobody" is but it sounds like you did your part in being a good friend to this mon. Sometimes a person will never know what friendship is until its gone, we can never understand it. Our lives are but dust in the wind and beating yourself up bout not doing enough isn't it broski
