Many have mental illness issues before they start using. It's a nasty cycle.

UPDATE ON ERNIE….. After seeing this a few weeks ago, prayer was made for Ernest that he’d safely return home here in West Monroe, Louisiana. I hadn’t really thought anymore of it this week but I walked into our church tonight (Wednesday 6/15/22) and there was Ernie sitting on the front row! He looked as if he’d lost even more weight since this interview and had the look of a homeless person. He didn’t remember me from before when he used to attend church but was happy that I greeted him and sat with him. I asked him where he was staying after church dismissed and he said “nowhere.” Then I asked where his family was and he said that he had no more family in West Monroe and asked if I could get him something to eat, which of course I said “sure.” On the way to the fast food place, Ernie told me his nearest family was in another town about 60 miles away. I ordered him a bacon double cheeseburger and fries, which he pretty much inhaled. I told ernie that I’d take him to his family’s house and he lit up with joy and said thank you for what seemed a minute straight. On the drive down, I told him about seeing him on soft white underbelly. He asked for my phone so he could see the interview. It was his first time to see it. We talked about music, religion, the lack of compassion in this world, mental illness and life in general. There was some grandiosity in his speech but he was coherent, intelligible and in his right mind and definitely not on drugs. I asked him when was the last time he’d used and he said “just before I left California.” He’d said doctors diagnosed him before with schizo affective disorder and bipolar but says he was definitely not crazy! We stopped about halfway to our destination and I got him some toiletries, some comfort items , socks, towels and a backpack to put it all in and he was very thankful. I gave him a Bible too of course. By this time we are in extreme rural central Louisiana. A very long way from Hollywood, Santa Monica and LA in general. I’m talking dense pine thickets and roads that go for miles with no houses. We pulled into the little town and I safely delivered him into the hands of his great Aunt. I know where she lives and have her number. They also have my number. So Ernest is alive and well and has a roof over his head for the moment but says he will absolutely go back to California as soon as he can.

I had a friend who was brilliant, probably had a 130 IQ and could have been anything, but he did meth, like LOTS of meth, and before we knew it he was inventing his own language and talking about cameras hidden in everything--even birds. He confronted a neighbor about a "robot parrot" (was just a regular parrot, sadly, a robot parrot would be cool) that was spying on him and he was sent to the nuthouse for a week. I picked him up and his hair was all chopped up (he "shaved" it with scissors...) and he was wearing a burger king crown. At the fist stoplight, he said "GOOOO!" in the most insane voice I ever heard and it turned green. Then he turned to me and my brother and said crazily but 100% seriously, "I DID THAT...." and just stared at us. Long story short, he stopped doing that crap and was 100% sane again. Meth can literally make you like a schizophrenic person so there is no way to know if it's drugs or mental illness.

What I heard was a lot of excuses and him feeling sorry for himself. I do believe in 2nd chances though, but everything starts by first getting CLEAN. He did admit to 'touching' his little niece and going to jail for it, so there's a good reason why his family disowned him.

@@heatherh.197 I don't think he's in psychoses here.. He's just still high on meth, which is making him say some silly things (about Kurt Cobain etc). But it's not psychoses, just 'normal' meth high when done in big quantities, which wears off as the drug leaves the system..

1\400 psychosis patients(meth) remain in psychosis absent the drug use. And sadly,leave a wake of destruction not always confined to themselves

My nephew used to speak like this when he was deep into meth. If he can escape this nightmare of drug use, he can get closer to reality.

Just like a lot or us we start doing drugs to ease the pain but he’s in denial to think he’s not addicted. Hope the best for him

Your a kind human for sure Mark and thank's for taking us along with you and also maybe bring some light on the situation at hand.
