I have asked him even just this past Sunday when he admitted that he cannot buy anything to make him happy. I commented on how it sucks to be so unhappy, not sleeping,etc that maybe he should talk to someone...
He said immediately, angrily,
"I am NOT going on pills, I don't think there is such a thing as a 'get happy' pill"...........
He had previously said he just doesn't have time to go to IC. I can mention it again, what do I really have to lose? This tentative friendship thing we have going?
That is what my thoughts were on giving him the book. What do I have to lose? And I got myself one so I can review my thoughts/choices, too, because it is not just 'up to him'. He specifically said Sunday he is absolutely afraid to make a decision, doesn't know how to make a decision, I thought the book might help make those things a little more clear to him...if he won't go to IC then maybe something can help him sort out his thoughts...
