Friend is batshit crazy, therapy a problem.

I tried suggesting that they ask their grandma to mention they are seemingly schizophrenic. Response? "Fuck off."

MY IDEA:
Their family has a history of neglecting them, as well as not giving half a fuck about them. I think their family is purposely rejecting her treatment for whatever reason. I can only assume it's to hide the gross negligence they treat their child with.

They are a great person and I would hate to see them suffer. I care about them greatly and I want to get them help. What do I do?

Bumping before I go to bed. If you have any questions I'll have them answered around 10:30 AM CST. Goodnight.
btw please help i really want to help them not suffer

bump l

If she's a danger to herself or others, beyond a reasonable doubt, notify the authorities

Make sure to inform them of the history of negligence and all the etc

so tl;dr "concerned friend" thinks that therapy is the solution to all problems


Quit stickin' yer nose into where it don't belong

I appreciate the helpful advice. I dedicate my time to two important things. Net Neutrality and the people I care about. The latter is far more important. I have dedicated time and stress to helping them. I am dedicated to helping them.

What's your solution? Ripping them away from their family will send them into a whole new level of panic, and that's a bit extreme and a dick move if they're not being abused.

Typical normie behaviour.
>pretend to care about someone in need only to douse their own guilt
>always offer the laziest solutions possible (half-heartedly saying "I'm here for you" to them over text, recommending that they spend hundreds or thousands of their dollars on therapy, etc.)
And I'd know, because I am a normie who does these things.

Fuuuck you. You obviously have no clue what I've tried to do. I've comforted them, or at least tried to when my methods didn't work. I've watched them suffer through depression, anxiety, helplessness, and a bunch of other shit, and you think I do this for myself? Fuck off. Not everybody's careless enough to say, "This person has problems, but I need an ego boost." Motherfucking news flash, different people are different. Fuck you for thinking I didn't do shit. There's only so much I'm able to do using only my knowledge of their personality and zero psychological knowledge. Go fuck yourself. Seriously.

>crazy friend has abusive insane family that is preventing her from getting the help she needs.

Here's a more likely scenario:

Your friend wants to be a special snowflake and is lying about seeking treatment. Her family isn't stopping her and isn't trying to pretend to be seeking help for her but isn't following through, she's just outright lying to you to try to get you off her back. More likely she's never brought it up with them and her family has no idea that she's "batshit insane" because she's not actually delusional or schizophrenic. She tells people she is because she likes the attention it gives her.

I wonder if you actually know this person or if it's just an internet relationship.

If you're convinced she's crazy and that she's in danger of harming herself (because she's communicated a threat to kill herself, for example) then contact the police or a social worker to check on her.

Thanks for the advice, Anon. I do know this person in real life (or rather did until i moved).
