It took a couple episodes but holy damn is it good <| sep |> Yes , fortunately for me I do know this which is why I don ' t do it too often , but I don ' t think he really cares about himself enough for this to change his mindset . I have found that he tends to be very emotive towards me , but never really releases his own feelings or emotions unless he is on MDMA . I think this is one appeal to him he has learned to be so emotionally closed off unless he has that boost of serotonin . This is why it is so hard for me to propose an ultimatum I hate making excuses for him , but he uses drugs as a form of escape I suppose like most drug users , and to interact on a very deep emotional level with people . I unfortunately have a few family members who are the same , which is why I am probably more tolerant towards it . With this being said , however , I do agree with you . I think he needs help , but I think he will be quite closed off towards this idea due to the stigma particularly surrounding men and mental health of psychiatric help . Do you have any advice to how I could gently suggest this to him ? I see someone for anxiety , and he knows this and is very supportive , but I think he ' d be quite resistant seeing someone himself .
