Hi /kind/
Was hoping someone could offer me any advice.
My best friend is an internet friend I've had for about 6 years, he has been a NEET for all those years and he's always had anxiety issues (and obvious OCD), though he had been doing better over the past few years, applying for jobs, working for his father etc.
He's been seeing a psychologist funded by his father, and also a "life coach (obvious hoax much inferior to an actual trained professional to waste money on)".
He's taking psych medications, and even though his anxiety has been mostly cured, his OCD obviously hasn't been (it's been getting worse if anything.) he is not taking any steps to change that though.
Last year he decided that using chat clients made him anxious as responding to messages would make him feel the need to drop everything else, without being able to multitask, this cut into his videogame time so he decided to just stop using chat clients completely.
I felt pretty abandoned when he randomly logged out for 2 months, so I finally decided to e-mail him and tell him how I feel disappointed in him randomly disappearing and not telling me everything after basically 4 years of speaking to me daily, I got back an e-mail that basically said that "he feels very sorry" and "will try being online more".
Right now he logs in once a week for a single hour to speak to me.
The same hour every Friday, at 4 AM in the morning for me.
Should I just cut things off? It's just painful to go on like this, and if he truly feels the need to behave this way out of obligation there's probably nothing he wants to do with me and another friend we have in common anyways.
I've spoken about it with him a few times but I always get "I'll try harder" or something similar, even when I'm just discussing my feelings, or trying to get him to actually get himself fixed.
