Worried

I was on my way to school this morning when I got an incoherent text from Narc. I wrote back with a question mark. Then he called. He couldn't speak. His words were so slurred that I could barely make anything out. I asked if he had just gotten home. He said he hadn't been to sleep yet. He said he couldn't go to sleep because he was "surrounded by movies," (or something like that.) Then he asked me to come down there.

"I can't. I'm teaching," I said. "But are you sure you're okay?"

"Um, no," he answered.

Now what was I supposed to do?

I told him that if he wanted to see me later that he should call me when he wakes up.

"Why don't you call me?" he insisted.

"Okay, if that's what you want..."

"We're done now, Hyde," he said. And then he hung up the phone.

I'm worried about him. I really wish he weren't doing coke with James. It's so dangerous given his circulation problems. And he had really pretty much stopped doing coke until the past six months. I wish I could say something or do something, but I know how I used to react to people who had a problem with my drug use. It's not going to make a bit of difference.

I wish I weren't thinking about this right now. I have five minutes til class and I'm going to get reviewed today.

Yuck...

I just had to get it out somewhere...

love,

Agh! Hope all turns out well. By the time you read this, it will be over. Hang in there.

You need to make a decision.

I know you are his friend. So you need to decide if you want to get involved 100% or 0%. There can't be a middle ground.

Take him for the help you think he needs if you are that worried.

If you don't think it will help, then don't take him or his phone calls.

Maybe you should only take his calls when your schedule is free.

How are your incompletes coming along?

How is the rest of your life going outside of Narc?

As often with your posts about Narc, I find myself not knowing what to write. Your relationship with him reminds me a bit of your relationship with alcohol, and it worries me.

I do hope that your review went well despite your worry.

Ergh. I have no advice, and definitely no judgment. When I was in that situation, I dropped everything and went running.

I hope your review went well!
