Ayo Story time y’all me and my best friend mad close and cool obviously but he got a older bro who’s like 28 (we 23) and he’s slightly off mentally and really immature emotionally mentally all that and might even be a little slow idk but we all smoked one night and he had a heart to heart with us about how he’s very depressed and suicidal and from there I agreed I’d go out of my way to befriend him and hang with him more since he has no friends at all
But this man is so insufferable to kick it with
He will roll up wait til after we smoke to say I owe him for it
Nigga is never considerate is the point
We just got into a big ass argument because he lost his last job because bruh was always off percs and leaving to long and s***
So bro hits me up today and says I gotta go to my job to pick up some papers turn out this nigga ain’t been at his job for 4 hours and just been high off percs and got mad at me for calling him out on it
Idk what else to do guys I wanna be a good guy but this s*** to draining on me at this point and my best friend even said he tired of trying to help him but I don’t wanna see bro be suicidal or nothing what tf do I do

he sounds complicating to be friends with but you shouldn't be telling him what he should be doing regarding his job tbh

Don’t be cool with people out of pity

As hard as it can be to face, his mental state is and should not be dependent on you. Don’t lose yourself for the sake of this person, it might sound cold but you’ve done what you can. He needs actual help at this point

If it’s f***ing with you mentally it’s not worth it. Unless he changes after you call him out or w/e just fade it out

Bro I’m trying to look out and be a good friend if I was high off percs and not going to work I’d want my friends to help me not be a bum

I just don’t want to see him ever die or Jill himself he’s already od’d before

not how it really works though

he has to figure it out himself

what if he gets off them then he starts doing better than you?

also there are people on percs in a good place

do you want him to start giving you life advice?

your heart is in a good place but it's more complicating than you'd think

I’m okay with him doing better than me he’s older than me and I expect more out of him and he’s already od’d before

You need to be honest and up front with him. Your help means nothing if he cannot take your presence and do something with it to make himself a better person. If he can’t help himself as well, then he’s simply wasting both of your times. He either has to make a change in his lifestyle and seek some professional help, or you need to take ur hands off him

sometimes people who aren't on d**** get a bit of a superiority complex

he's just a person don't expect more out of him

when you try to correct someone dealing with s*** it pushes them farther away

Ay if niggas wanna kill themselves they gonna do that s***. I ain't gonna cap. Maybe that sounds insensitive but I think it's insensitive to make me a last hope ass nigga.

I ain't responsible for what another nigga decide to do.

Bro I’m not a sober person I do d**** too but When I did them so much that it started affecting all parts of my life his bro my best friend helped me get into rehab so I don’t think I’m on a high horse becaude I do d**** too and my friends all keep me on point and wanna do the same for him

your heart is in the right right place like I said but you gotta realize you can't infringe upon what people want

Even if I just cut this nigga off ima still see him or hear about him f***ing up and it gonna hurt 😞

it’s not your job to fix it him though. Yeah you can be there to help but you said it’s draining you and personally I don’t think it’s worth your own health especially if he’s giving you s*** about calling him out on it. You can be there for him but not have him rely on you

Best of luck man you’ll figure it out

U probably right bro but so just let him kill himself slowly? He’s already od’d twice and lost 3 jobs in a month and I want to help but it’s so hard

best thing you can do is give him some naloxone and the people he's around

don't worry about his job situation that's the least of his issues tbh

if he's gonna do d**** make sure he does them safely, get him some fent strips to test s***

Aye man u tried

Some people dont want help. It's not your responsibility to be this niggas emotional support. You not even blood if anything his brother should be trying to help him not u

get them off dancesafe for pretty cheap

this is the best way to help him but in a way that doesn't come off as condescending
