Today I got a call from Andrew's brother, and he's currently in the Yale Psychiatric ward. A little over a week and a half ago was the last time I heard from Andrew. He was having paranoid delusions that a girl he had spoken to over the internet for 3 years was in actuality his father, or step-brother, posing as a girl. He then went into a rant about how since his step-brother trades hedge funds, he is part of some insidious government plot. I kept trying to reason with him, about how he's probably just imagining things and to calm down..... but needless to say that didn't work. He kep claiming they were trying to talk to him in some sort of "code" that he needs to fully unlock. The day after this he IMed me saying "Thanks for listening to my ranting, I feel better now :)" and I haven't heard from him since. Supposedly he just spiraled downward from there.
He left several half intelligible ranting messages on his mother's and father's answering machines at 4 a.m. Knowing very little about his current state, they came to New York to find him, that morning. If you know Andrew's past at all, that's isn't surprising since he's done so many pretty crazy things this year, his parents were very very worried about him. When they got to his apartment (did I mention he lives with a drug dealer?) his room mate said they had given him money to take the train back to New Haven, from Grand Central.
