The thing is he has a huge number of great friends and is a really loving person. We suspect that he had some delusions as he was starting to think people were doing to him behind his back (fantasy, not reality) and his housemate said that before he disappeared he was spending days in his room, come out looking white as a ghost and say he was imagining the unimaginable (? Possible voices or hallucinations?). The day he disappeared he was apparently supposed to go for a mental health assessment. He has been a long term cannabis user as well as some other drugs but generally an overwhelmingly happy, loving person who loved his friends and family and loved socializing. The pain of him being away is awful, I can't really describe it but at the moment, not coping very well and just hoping everyday that something in his condition changes.

Darknessismyfriend: I'm sorry to hear what you have been through - the only advice I can give is that you are always free to go and live where you want and include those you want in your life and exclude others - for example, I live abroad, I believe people are free to do what they want but I also think it's good to tell people you are going to live elsewhere - the last thing you want is people searching for you if you want to avoid them
