Gotta keep it vague for privacy but the key details should be enough. We first
met through a dating app. It didn’t work out. We remained friends. Became best
friends. They fell on terribly hard times. They moved in with me. Sleeping on
the couch was not good for the long term. We now share a bed, and eventually
went halvesies on a new bigger one. We became very close over the past few
years. I love my best friend. Sometimes do non intercourse sexish things but
have no interest in a relationship. Hard times are likely to continue due to
external problems that despite our best efforts, will not likely go away. I’d
never kick them out, it would be on the level of hurting a puppy. What kind of
monster would do that? I have been wanting a relationship but it would be
awkward to have to explain all this to any new partners. I can’t even imagine
how my friend would take it. I wouldn’t want to sacrifice our relationship just
so I can start dating again. A room in the apartment is vacant now and they
could move into that one but I dread broaching the topic to them. I don’t know
how they’re going to react and no matter what happens I want to keep this person
in my life. We’re getting older and there’s no guarantee that the “hard times”
will go away. It might even last the rest of our lives. I don’t know what to do.
I can’t face the reality that they might leave rather than watch me do my own
thing. How do I have my cake and eat it too?
I have tried getting high quite a few times now with different products and it always ends the same, poorly. Advice?

I just wanted to relax. But instead, I begin to experience extremely unpleasant
sensations. First is the pins and needles sensation, it’s everywhere, starts in
the back of my throat and then travels all over my body. It sucks! Then I expect
that the next part is from being far too high, despite only a few drags or the
recommended dose of the edible. I think it’s paranoia but I start to believe
that I lived someone else’s life (whomever is in the room talking to me) before
this one and I know what they’re about to say because I have said it. Or that
I’m the center of the universe and so on. As if that’s not bad enough, it
becomes impossible for me to understand time, 5 minutes feels like an hour or
more, and then it’s just me reassuring myself or getting someone to talk me down
until I can function. It’s stressful as fuck and very disorienting. I don’t know
if I want to risk that again but I was really hoping for a fun little escape
from reality and chronic pain and depression. Maybe even a few giggles as I
watch cartoons or whatever, something more fun than this! I am at a point where
I think that this just isn’t for me.
