Sorry for the rant, this isnt something i like to discuss with my friends and so i may vent a bit too....
I smoke weed, ive experimented with psychadelics a long long time ago, and i drink once every six months...
BF however is a heroin addict. He used to use meth HEAVILY, but for the last 7 years has limited his use to once every few months. In the past when he has done some, he would come home and get super super paranoid (sat on the roof for 5 hours in november to make sure the people running on it would stay off... third story of our house... quiet neighborhood....)
Ive let him know if he does it thats fine i cant control his choices, but he needs to stay away when using it. Not cool when i have to go to my job on 2 hours of sleep because I was woken up to be informed about the people living in the tree outside my bedroom window.... repeatedly.... Or when my mother stops by to visit and his eyes are bulging and hes talking so fast hes out breath about painting a skateboard...
So last night he goes to buddies to keep up his H habit, and scores some meth. He smokes it there, comes home, is up all night in the basement trying to catch the people sneaking in the house. Noon, it is revealed that he still has some on his person, he proceeds to IV the rest so no one can catch him with it. This has been followed by him trying to beat up shadow people outside with a bat, to patrolling the house, to a slew of insults, rants about how shitty of a person i am, and he is now patrolling our yard with a flashlight.
I dont know how to interact with him. Hes aggressive, hes mean, and ive been researching this so much im fairly certain hes going through a degree of psychosis (ive seen him talk to the invisible man and try to shake his hand then blamed me for the man climbing over the fence.....). Also in the past, when hes used even a little bit just one time, its DAYS of him being awake. So knowing that he did more than usual over the course of 24 hours, I have a long few days ahead of me....
What works when interacting with someone whose in this state? I would leave but i cant bring my dogs over to my bffs house and hes already let them loose in the road twice while going out to talk to the invisible people....
Is there anything I can do to promote him to chill the f*** out?
