A living nightmare...

Suicide is the coward’s way out, but that is just my opinion. I too, have been made fun of, berated and bullied. I just never gave into it. I guess being a fighter is in my genes. I was kicked out of the house multiple times, though I had never been arrested and got middlin grades. When I was kicked out at 17, I decided enough was enough and struck out on my own. Left it all behind at the time.

I look back on my life as quite the adventure and look forward to more. I have been down and out and on top of the world to many times to just give up when I feel down. I have found that depression will feed upon itself, just worse as time goes on. You must constantly fight it or it will take over. But that’s me, there may be a chemical imbalance in your friend. I would wait and try all methods to fight these imbalances before taking meds though. Once again, just my opinion.

Edit: Glad to see you took that part out, and I hope, off the table.

Sounds like he could go on disability. At least he could survive and not have to worry about eating or a roof over his head.

Just thought of something...could he work at home doing something?

Sounds like he needs to get spiritually connected and he needs a hobby other than substance abuse. Society can eat you alive if you let it. To get spiritually connected I don't recommend church because they will probably judge him and call him a weirdo, but maybe something else like meditation, the art of looking inward and being still. I think that if he could master being still then maybe he could master social anxiety. Good luck with that guy and give him support!
