OK so, my pal just left the house in cuffs today....
Im not really sure if I want to get into the whole thing, but its bugging me so maybe I will. My friend has walked a troubled path for most of his life. The kind of fellow who almost sees personal success as negative thing, for success equals less stress, and it has been such a factor in his life, things are not COMFORTABLE when the stress is not there. Destructive, self-sabotaging, sub-conciously laying his own booby traps. Ive been there. It takes on to know one and all that......
So he has been in a vicious cyclone for most of his life, just when things start looking up, something else goes wrong. Sounds like every day life to some, but for him, he is the orchastrater, he sets up his own fall, because after a whole life of CONSTANT stress, constantly being without a home or a meal, in trouble with the law, it has become normal to him. Life to him IS stress, and uncomfort. So when things start becoming "comfortable" it doesnt ring as NORMAL to him.
But you must understand that this is NOT a rotten member of society, that this man is TROUBLED and has been all his life, he is an example of a failure. But not only his own failures, but he was failed by his parents, failed by the social systems, failed by society. I know this man, he IS a good person, he is just troubled. I know that with the proper help, he can realize his path of self destruction, he can correct things that went awry. I know because I have been there, set my own traps, and to this day it still happens once in a while. Only now, I have a family to be successful for, responsibilities to others than myself, I have learned that it is OK to leave that shit behind and succeed in life.
He came to my house today to say goodbye.....
He came and told me he had swallowed a bottle of pills...
He left in cuffs....
Under the mental health act, someone who is suicidal can be detained and assessed because he poses a threat to himself and others. He was in tears, but we convinced him it was the best thing. We convinced him, that he wanted to live, he wanted help, he wanted to break free. So he is now in the hospital, under police supervision.
I hope the best for you bud.
Hang in there.
I'll be here when you come back....
