As the friend of the said person I don't know how to react. I just started crying last night when I heard him call for his sleep paralysis demon - he was talking which seemed more like mumbling and in pain, wanting to feel what he felt back then like fear, wanting to hear those screams. I really don't know what I can do - I tried to plead him to stop, tried to change the topic too but somehow nothing helped. Luckily after a couple of hours, upon realising it wasn't going to come - he gave up on it. 

As someone that's almost devoid of emotions, I don't understand what I'm supposed to do here. I really care about him and I'm not in physical proximity to him to smack the fuck out of him when he tries to pull shit like this. I'm afraid he's going to start taking his pills again which instead of fixing things up will remind him of his hell hole with the schiz, something he seems to be craving for. He wants to feel and he's simply not able to -i really don't know what to do.
