Hi guys,

Well my friend is threatening suicide; by mixing weedkiller with some coke or something :confused: because he thinks he has aids/hiv.. Here is the backstory :

My friend Jim and a couple of his mates went out to a strip club and for some unknown reason figured it was a good idea to pay the girls to give them extra service..
Now he was apparently a virgin until this happened and got home and started freaking out.. thinking he is losing weight because he has something etc. Basically just wigging out.
**prime example of how some people in my opinion aren't ready for sex.

Well over the course of 6 weeks he took and paid for over R3k in HIV test's and psychology to get him through this. He told his family what he did and promised not to do it again.

Two weeks later, he end's up back at the club with the same mates and does this again. So he goes through the motions again, paying for HIV test, after HIV test and tells his parents again.
It's now week three and he is still wigging out but this time he said he know's he has it this time and his life is over, so whats the point of living..

Now my friend is always a attention seeker, not really the brightest guy around or any of those things but I really doubt he would go this far and truth be told after doing this a second time, I'm kinda rethinking keeping him as a friend.

I'm planning on giving his sister a call tomorrow morning to let her know whats up.

What would you guys do in this kind of situation?
 
This situation is so ridiculous I'm not sure whether to believe it.

While normally I'd be one of the first folk to take any suicide threat seriously, from what you've described I'd say he's just looking for attention. Maybe he even wants to get HIV so that he can manipulate people's emotions to get whatever he wants out of it.

Perhaps he's bipolar, perhaps he has some other mental disorder... Who knows.

All I know is that the guy sounds like an idiot who can't learn from the mistakes of others, let alone his own, so stop caving to his attention-seeking and get on with your life.

If he ends up killing himself, it would ultimately be his choice. Don't beat yourself up over it, but don't let his antics drag you down with him.

Simple.

while I agree with this there are more questions that I have:
how old is he?
Does he work?
Does he study?

I suspect that he's ''transfering'' some insecurity or another & the paid-sex & threads are his way to deal with it. Then he regrets that & then can't deal with that regret.

He does need to see a head doc or he needs to sort the shyte in his life out himself...
 
Your friend sounds like a drama queen. Someone who thrives on drama and creates the situations for there to be drama in.
 
My maths teacher used to say that if your friend threatens suicide and they tell you they plan to use a rope for the job, stop them and instead offer them a chain and a steel cross beam to stop them failing due to rope or beam breakage. One of my cousins threatened suicide over a girl dumping him and they neighbour pointed out he use the bigger thicker branched tree instead of the small mango tree he wanted to use. Needless to say my cousin is very much alive today.

Sometimes the gene is better for it (not my cousin being alive)

That sure is gonna help him get on the road to recovery.

Your mother must be proud.
 
Nobody draggesd him kicking and screaming the second time so yeah, though not to judge, sounds a bit of a drama queen and yes you should re evaluate your friendship with this individual.
