23M (me and my friend). He’s been addicted to ADHD meds for about 2.5 years now. He’s not done anything that crazy, but he left college at the end of fall semester 2024 and is back at home with his parents, doing nothing except using ADHD meds, drinking, and endless social media use. All my other friends and I graduated spring 2025 and I’ve gone on to do a masters and all my other friends are doing something or other (jobs, more school, etc.). I’ve found it’s easy to remain friends with all of the others who are doing something rn whether it’s school or a job or whatever, but with him it just feels like a complete drain. It’s not like he’s done anything to me necessarily, but I don’t look forward to calling him (we didn’t go to the same undergrad, but used to call nearly every day). I texted him telling him I need some space like a month ago and haven’t called him in like 2 months. But I’m going back home this weekend and not sure if I even want to see him while I’m there. I feel like such a piece of shit for abandoning him while he’s going through this, especially since it’s not like he’s actively done anything bad to me. But the constant emotional breakdowns from him and just seemingly no effort to make any changes have made it so I don’t even want to hear from him at all. Any advice for this situation would be appreciated. It’s almost as if I don’t wanna put any effort into the relationship anymore and just wanna “ghost” him during this time. But I know that’s not right… I mean we used to be best friends since freshman year of high school. submitted by /u/ItsJustLitBro
