writes:This isn't really a love question of my own accord, but more about my friend. His name on here is JazzedUp and is really good at answering people's problems from what I;ve read based on cmments. But I'm worried about him. He dated a girl named Kaitlyn for 6 months and was completely in love with her. Then when he told her he loved her, she said she didn't love him and that she'd been planning on braking up with him but didn't want to hurt him. He never got over it. She was his first love and he bottomed out over her. Since then he's become a younger version of Dr. House (no joke). Right after the breakup he totaled his Prudhomme Edition Shelby Super Snake (if you know what that car is you can probably guess how fast he was going) in a head on collision. The wreck nearly destroyed his left knee and he hobbled around on a cane for months despite therapy and surgery. He discovered lorcets and hydrocodone make the pain go away where he can walk freely, and is now an addict, but I know he also takes them because they take away the pain from Kaitlyn leaving. He's an alcoholic (and yes we're still in high school; seniors) and he does everything he can to keep her off his mind. Recently, he did speak to her and got her to admit she reagretted leaving him, but she refused to consider getting back together. I'm conteplating showing her the path of self destruction she set him on. Can anyone hlp me? Yes this is a "poor little rich boy" circumstance, but he's a really good guy. He's my best friend, even if I do have to share him with Jack, Sam and the Captain. He gives great advice on here and many people like his responses to questions. He's not a bad kid, I must stress that. But I need to save him before he goes too far deep into his depression and self pity. Can anyone help???

 You need to get him off the drugs if he is addicted. Get him help for it, try and get him to stop drinking because, drugs and alcohol never mix without terrible consequences. Listen to him if he needs to talk but make no mistake, the depression itself is something he needs to deal with on his own. It will be terribly heartbreaking for you to watch, if your are close to him but it is necessary. He will get through it and he will be stronger for it.
I hope that helps.
