So, odd request. But I've found a friend who describes his mind and his world uncannily like you describe yourself 5-10 years ago. Would you have any advice for him?
Andy makes this post:

Good. It should scare him. I was in a bad, scary, and harmful place. If his mental state is anything like mine was, he’s a brilliant creative extrovert idealist with wonderful intentions and a rampaging form of undiagnosed paranoid delusional schizophrenia on top of PTSD and other personal traumas, and he’s a massive fucking danger to self and others until he gets treatment. So the advice - the very, very constructive advice - is that if he wants there to be anything of value in the good parts of that description, he needs to get the clinical shit under control like YESTERDAY.

What sticks out to me is that Andy appears to be claiming he had PTSD 5-10 years ago (between 2003-2008), long before the shooting ever occurred. Every other post by Andy I've ever seen on the subject seems to imply his PTSD was brought on by the shooting; ie, being triggered by gun shots or similar noises.
Andy claims to have had PTSD as far back as 2003-2008
