I'm sorry I haven't been in touch lately, I've had a chest infection and it set my panics off and I have had to start learning stuff all over again.
Never mind lets hope this is just a glitch.
I could really use some advice about a friend of mine.
I have been chatting to an internet friend for about 3 weeks.
We have been in regular contact either by phone calls or MSN.
I believe that my friend suffers from a phycological need to be loved.
Almost to the point of obsessiveness.
Every relationship he has had has been short lived, resulting in him hurting himself or threatening to commit sucide.
He is only ever happy when someone loves him and contantly tells him they love him.
Tonight I had several phone calls after a girl dumped him, he lost his job and was kicked out of the place he was staying. And I made several attempts to calm him down. I ended up calling the police to pick him up because I really believed he was going to harm himself.
He was admitted to a mental hospital.
I really do care what happens to my friend.
But I have no idea what to do. I am at my wits end.
One half of my brain is telling me to help and support him.
The other half is telling me to get the hell away because I don't want to become the next object of affection.
He states that his family want nothing to do with him, and that is making me feel guilty for the half of my brain that tells me to get the hell away.
The last thing I want is to look after this person that I have only known for a few weeks, and no way would Steve tollerate it and to be honest I couldn't tollerate it either. I can just about look after myself.
Not to mention the fact I have this fear of him becoming obsessively attached to me.
I want to help him. But I really don't know what to do.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Love, light and Best wishes
