Thank you for the replies so far, by the way. I'm sort of overwhelmed with having to deal with my own problems, another friend's, and his on top of everything. His deteriorating health doesn't help, either. Thanks to some genetical diseases he might not live to see 30. Especially if he doesn't take care of himself, mentally and physically.l It makes me worried he'll do something stupid and get himself injured or killed some day if he's wound up getting depressed and foolishly drunk (he had been drinking too much lately, even though we keep telling not to, but now hasn't been drinking for some while), which is why I feel certain problems of his need to actually start getting processed soon. I somehow need to find how to get him to realize that things aren't that bad, and to accept help from others, mainly/especially people who are qualified for dealing with such things. As it is, I'm pretty much his best friend, which is somewhat emotionally heavy, as he tells very few other people as much as what he tells me.
