• I had a friend when I was in college. Her older loser brother who lived in her mom’s basement called one day. He asked if he could stay with her. She knew him and didn’t want to have him staying with her and her boyfriend, taking their sofa, eating their food, and so on. She said “sorry but no”.

    Apparently he called everyone he knew looking for a place to crash because their mom gave him an ultimatum. Nobody would take him.

    After he tried everyone, he killed himself in that fucking basement. 😖

      I hate to say but everyone who said no dodged that bullet. If they took him in and eventually asked him to leave he’d off himself in that person’s house instead.

        If someone would sooner kill themselves than find a job of any kind, that’s a really sad way to live. I’m so sorry for those that knew him and who have to suffer either grief or guilt that they’re not sad that he’s dead. But I’m also sorry for that person whose executive dysfunction drove them to avoid any kind of self improvement and made them suicidal rather than determined to change themselves. I wish for anyone who might end up like this again that they find the courage and means to get therapy, and that said therapy prevents this.

        Unhealthy minds and unhealthy brains are probably the scariest parts of the body to be unwell.
