I don't know what to do!!!

I suppose we'll see. She has her little heart set on getting stoned, and she said if I let her do it, she'd talk to the doc tomorrow, so here we go. They're in the oven.

I shelled money out the ass for a nice mid grade Indica. Pot lovers should appreciate that. I normally go for Sativas, but Indica will be much better for her, I think. It's a calming strain.

Well, I am talking out of my own experience, friend. I think it's best to talk to doctors before doing anything, let alone giving her marijuana, which won't help.

I don't disagree that it can hurt. However, I know that it can also help. There are some preliminary studies that support this. There are even more studies that support the former. It is a case-by-case thing. It is not like tylenol, which is always a pain reliever. It is more like an anti-depressant, in that it only works for some.

Now, I was only commenting on your choice of the word evil.

Well, I sometimes form sentences in my own native tongue before writing them down in english, but not always.
This time I did that.

I thought it was something like that. It didn't sound like what you meant to say, so I figured the benefit of the doubt was in order there.

It's too bad you don't live in Forida. There, apparently, you can shoot her and say you felt "threatened."

Well, when you say in Turkish..."birine kötülük/yaman etmek" you mean like you're doing something not always in their good interests, but literally, it means you're "doing evil" against someone.
Of course, I know aleia would never mean to do evil to her friend.

I'd be in Angelina Jolie's shower.



Waiting for Brad Pitt, Dayaaamm.

Good thing we're ghosts - plenty of room for me then. Budge over - that's my woman.

There was a young man in college who was very outspoken and became more so. He was about 20. You youngsters have to watch out for schizophrenia and appendix. A common time for each. I naively thought I could help him reason his way out of his problems. Turns out not to work that way.

Now a days, even if you get her diagnosed properly it doesn't mean she'll get any care. Not here in the good ole I've-got-mine-fuck-you S of A.

I've had this friend since the 7th grade. She's always been a relatively fearful person, but lately it's been getting worse and worse. Ten years ago, when we were 18, her 23 year old sister was killed in a car accident, leaving behind 5 small children. Because of this, my friend has never driven a car... she's nearly 30. She has never had a job or been to college, and has always lived in the projects, where she collects welfare.

About 6 months ago, a really close friend of hers committed suicide. Since then, I've noticed a steady decline in her already fragile sanity.

The other night she called me at 3am, so scared I could barely understand her. Her computer started playing music, full blast and for no obvious reason. She was convinced it was a supernatural force that had made it happen, and wouldn't come out of the broom closet. I tried to convince her that it could've been anything, telling her it could be a computer virus, or the cat- anything. It didn't have to be a ghost. She wouldn't listen.

The next day she went out shopping with her mother. When she got home, she saw that her bedroom dresser had fallen forward. She freaked out again, and of course, she called me. I go down there, and examine the fallen dresser. It was one of those $15 Walmart specials in a box. The top drawer was completely full of all kinds of junk. It was really ridiculous, actually. There was nothing in any of the drawers below it. I asked her if she had left the top drawer open. She couldn't recall. I tried to calm her down by explaining that if she left that full top drawer open, it would have tipped the whole thing over. She wouldn't hear it. Swore it was supernatural.

She said it was either her dead sister or friend that had been causing all of this. So using logic to subdue insanity, I asked her what the big deal was. If it was the ghost of people she loved, why be scared. She couldn't explain, she just continued to rock back and forth in the fetal position and sob. In the meantime, I found and killed the virus that had infected her media player.

Now she won't go back to her house. She is staying at my house, and every noise she hears is the ghosts. I am at my wits end! I don't know what to do. What would you people do? She won't talk to any doctors, and I'm fucking lost. I have no idea how to handle this kind of craziness. If you don't have any suggestions, please just make me laugh or something.

She needs psychological evaluation and therapy. IMMEDIATELY. Find some way to convince her it's what her sister would want. She needs professional help. Left alone, her condition will continue to decline. WILL. Not might. WILL. You must be firm but kind in convincing her. Contact a good recommended psychologist in your area and ask them for advice on what you can do to help get her to see them.

You can always trust the internet for some good ol' medical advice from the slightly informed. For me it looks like a bunch of people around a roulette wheel telling each other how they know which number is going to come up. I say bet on black but realize that there is also red and green that could come up. I think Niacin can be used to abort a drug experience gone wrong. Good luck with your spin on the wheel. Really, I hope it goes well.

Hey! Don't forget about those of us who said it could come up any color.
