Thanks, Costello, Sometimes Psychotic, and Silent Void.

I think it is good advice to not see him, but I know I won't take that advice. I thought about it quite a bit last night. I wish I could just get out of it somehow, because I don't really want to see him and there is risk of psychosis and risk of real harm too.

So he is flying to visit over a weekend. I plan to take him to some tourist spots like museums and eat some meals. I don't drink, so probably he won't drink either. That seems fairly safe.

Last time I saw him we went to the zoo and then saw a movie. He had brought a can of Red Bull that had a special wrapper on the can from a convention. He wanted to split that can instead of drinking alcohol. We were in his motel room waiting for the movie time. He poured the Red Bull in a glass for each of us. Then he came over and sat beside me with his arm behind me, and it made me uncomfortable. I got up and surreptitiously poured my drink in the sink after only a few sips.

When we went to the movie, it was a Sherlock Holmes where the bad guys were a magic cult. I was sitting there in the theater wondering how I had the bad luck to pick this movie with my paranoid feelings about my friend. Then when I drove him back to his motel, two cars seemed to pull-out in front of me and divert me into the parking lot of a strip club next door. I drove out of that parking lot and into his motel, but it just seemed weird. I suppose I was starting to have psychosis.

Oh well, thanks for all the advice. I will be careful and try to stay relaxed. Exercising helps me, so I will try to exercise in the mornings before I see him.
