Lucas' downward Golden Spiral really did accelerate exponentially during and after his breakup with Suzanne, partly because that's about when he swore off drugs (i.e: his psych meds). It's also where his hatred of older women comes from. I screencapped one of the earlier things he posted that I don't think has been put on the thread yet and it's actually truly sad, since he's got glimmers of being semi-coherent in his begging for help, but his insanity is still overwhelming. I almost feel bad for him. Almost. Except even his semi-coherent begging is still a good deal manipulation and lies and delusion, from the information that
@QueenBurritoSupreme and
@SheWolfOfWA have provided about him. His extended cousin tried to help him out, but I don't know what happened with that. All I know is that he didn't stay in that situation for very long, despite her help (or attempt to help).
Shortly after begging for help, Lucas swears off older women, and then immediately is befuddled by the lack of young women that want to jump on his dick.
Lucas is convinced he's already made the first move. By giving girls Starburst. Now it's all up to them to repay him with sex. Wait, they won't? THOSE SELFISH BITCHES.
Lucas, regarding why he thinks he doesn't have a mental illness and why he refuses treatment/medication: his family wanted him to seek help. He humored them and got a response he either liked or (possibly willfully) misinterpreted and has been using it ever since to justify not trusting psychology/psychiatry and why he doesn't need to check in:
I think this might have been posted before, but here's an early instance of Luke formulating this idea that Suzanne cheated on him (which went from "probably" to "definitely" within the span of a few days, in his mind) and the seeming start of a lot of his posts about hating other men for having girlfriends/being around women:
