Best friend has a TBI and is completely different
Hi, back in January my best friend was in a car accident. At first he thought his only issue was his shoulder which he was going to P.T. For. He was getting chronic headaches and basically started to isolate himself from our group. To help with his headaches, he was self medicating with weed gummies. In early April he went off the grid completely and ghosted us. Turns out he had a psychotic episode. After about a week and a half of us all trying to reach him, I contacted his mom and she told me what happened to him.
He wound up in the hospital and finally contacted us and said he was getting the help he needs. Well a week later, his gf who we never met, helped him get out of the hospital. He then flew to another state where his parents live. He has been bouncing between hotels and drinking all day and not acting like himself according to his family.
I’m the only one from our group who he has cut out entirely from his life and is starting to talk about me to our other friends who have been defending me.
I guess I’m not really sure what to do. At this point I removed myself from the situation and have been only reading the updates his family sends to our group. This guy was the best man at my wedding I know he needs severe help. I guess I just needed to vent and write it out. My wife has been nothing but supporting. I just hope I get my best friend back and he gets the help he needs.
