continued Thatfucker discussion

Since we've been kicked off FFA for the week, please feel free to continue the anon discussion here. Apologies if this is a big flop - I've never made a DW community before!

The rules are vaguely the same as they are over on FFA. Please refrain from being too much of an asshole, making personal attacks, posting identifying information or engaging in transfail.

ETA: If there's information you'd like to see archived (journal/blog posts related to Andy, etc.), please dump it here and link to it from the main post for discussing.

Hello, I'm the OP, the one whose friend was a member of the posse. I'll try to answer your questions to the extent I can.

First of all, you are all very correct that Andy's word means nothing, esp, since he uses it to manipulate --incl., as I said, saying different things to different people or even the same people as a "Gotcha" tactic. (It's pretty horrifying.) Re: his mental health "care team": My friend was deep enough in to *know,* from what appts he went to (or not) and what meds he was taking (hint: small doses of antipsychotics are often combined w. other drugs to treat depression or bipolar illness). She definitely knew there was no care team of however many drs with their dozen degrees studying Andy b/c he's he's just so damn fascinating, and that's not mental illness on Andy's part, just self-aggrandizement. I do believe he's sick, but not in any way that a therapist would help unless he *really* wanted to change. He doesn't; his behavior and sheer joy at manipulating people tells us that.

As for the idea that said care team monitors his FB & tumblr & even has the passwords, one hardly even needs proof this is untrue, although evidently Andy did mention it was. I mean, seriously--was his therapist going to go into his tumblr & edit the "WalMart fat lady" story with "Attn Readers! This is Andy's whatever, & the above story is a steaming pile?" What legit therapist would have time? But from what I heard, Andy enjoys bragging about his manipulations, and at least on this point I believe him.

But I *do* trust my friend's observations & her ability to put things together, and that's why I say I *know* what I know.

If there are any other questions, I'll try to answer them to the extent I can, and the mods are free to verify that yes, I have VA IP. As I mentioned, I just thought it was important to mention that Andy was *still* abusing people, and not even much differently than he was in the beginning. I find the man frightening,

Anxiety and insomnia, too. "Have troubles falling asleep? Your thoughts keep running? Here, take this. Yes, it's an anti-psychotic, but don't worry, it only has a sedative effect at this very low dose." I invite anyone who doesn't believe me to just Google it.

So yeah, Andy may very well have a prescription for a low dose of antipsychotic meds. But the problem is that he should be stuffed full of STRONG doses of antipsychotic meds if he were really as badly schizophrenic as he pretends to be. He claims to have lived an entire decade or so completely out of touch with reality (never mind that he would have been utterly non-functional if that were true). You don't treat that level of delusion and hallucinations with low doses of meds; he would need very high doses, and it would show. How many times will the Caps have to explain this before they are believed?

Thanks for the info and clarification, nonny!

I almost want to laugh. What was his excuse for lying about this when he said this to your friend?

You mentioned that Andy is abusing people in a very similar way to Abbey & Brittany, and that "gullibility" is a factor. Does this mean he is still claiming to channel, or that supernatural things are occurring around him? If you can't get into specifics to protect your friend, I understand.

Thanks again, nonny!
