Blank Slate - EPRHA 2.0

[Shannon]

I decided to only give him the sub if he wants to use it. I am willing to set it up so it's no extra effort on his part, but if he's not willing then I'll let him have a choice in the matter. Even if I trust Shannon and his products to a certain degree, I also know the feeling of not trusting in something that can't be directly verified or checked like the content of the subs. I was very suspicious when I first stumbled on this site and I will keep questioning things like everyone should. However until proven otherwise, I believe Shannon's subs are trustworthy and seem to deliver what they promise.
It's like eating in a restaurant, they won't tell you the exact ingredients but if people are still alive after walking out and the food tastes great, they won't have a reason to distrust the restaurant (this is without taking into account the long term effects of certain foods).

Trust aside, I think you're letting an opportunity to make a big positive impact on his life slip away. If he's threatening suicide, that's a red flag, even if he's not serious enough to do it. It means something is very wrong regardless, and he needs help of some sort. It means he is, for whatever reason, miserable.

Now I don't know about you, but I have been suicidal during my teenage years, and genuinely so. I was diagnosed with severe depression and the difference was like night and day when they put me on antidepressants, and it only showed me just how much pain I had actually been in emotionally. I have since figured out what the cause of that issue was and fixed it myself, but regardless, he's in pain and he is suffering. If you were in such a situation, wouldn't you want someone to help you?

When I was like that I was deeply agoraphobic and socially anxious as hell. I would probably still be, if some of my best friends had not dragged me out of my bedroom to see what it's like in the social world for those first few times.

Help the man. Regardless of what you get out of it, regardless of how you do it. I happen to think wasting an opportunity to help with EHPRA 2.0 is hard to understand, but it's not my choice or my life. All I can do is urge you to help him in some way. Whatever way you think is best.
