i desperatly need help!!!!.... my boyfriend who has no history of ever having mental illness, made a friend who is bipolar and schizophrenic, which was totally fine. they became closer and closer and spent more and more time together. then this guy started doing ALOT of cocain, stopped taking meds, and started not sleeping much. This guy has now go to the point where he was unable to live in his HUGE buitiful house out of fear and was instead living out of his car with his dog. he now thinks there are aliens trying to get him, and drugging him and his dog and making insitions in there skin, he also thinks he has parasites and that people around him are getting possessed. he broke up with his gf of 6 years because he thought she was possessed, he thinks people are raping his dog in the middle of the night and abusing her, and that his neighbors are out to get him and surrond his house in camo and night vision. he also thought this one guy was haning out in his yard and spying on him, he then wanted to go kidnap and tourcher and maybe even kill this innocent guy. he even thinks i have gotten possessed and have been steeling from my boyfriend and such, (which i have never done). he has fits where he yells at people and screams profanitys at the top of his lungs. the other day he tried to attack a child with downsyndrome at McDonalds and almost beat the $#%^ out of him because he thought this kid was looking at his dog funny and making fun of him. Last night my Bf found him facce down having a seizure. He is a serious risk to himself and becoming a serious risk to others. and not only that his mental health is starting to seriously affect my bf and his life, they were spending almost everyday together, and now me and my bf have had to temporaraly move out of our house because of mold, and he has been staying with this guy. My boyfriend have gradually started to act more and more like his friend, and althought he is not even close to as bad has started to develop bi-polar behavior, and is very difficult to deal with, he stoped having contract wiht his friends, and now he has cut off all contact with anyone other then this one friend, and he is starting to beleive all the things this guy beleives and act more and more like him, this has caused him to loose his job, become TOTALY broke, not able to pay bills, unhealthy and loose almost everyone important in his life. i am scared for them both!!!!
I have heard that when two people like this spend so much time together that ones mental state can affect the other causing them to show the same sort of symptoms and what not... this seemed to make alot of sence to me because when this guy was out of how for a week everything got back to normal in a few days and my bf was back to being himself and not some person he is totally not!...and when he comes home from being wiht this guy he is increasingly hard to deal with and has abnormal thoughts. i was wondering if anyone else has heard of this? and where i can find more information about it?
Also my bf has already stopped this guy from killing one person, and has been scared for his own safety many times. this guys family have disowned him and have no idea what is going on, and he has shunned his gf because he beleives she is possessed (which she is definatly not)
I am scared for his safety and the safety of others, this guy needs help badly from professionals, (he caries around a meshety and other weapons so i'm not willing to tell him things he isn't going to like to hear) so i am wondering what i can do about this?.. i really think he needs to be hospitalized but i am scared to do anything out of fear for my own safety....
PLEEAAASSEEE HEEELLLPPP!!!!!!!!
i want this guy to be able to go back to his own life, he used to be very successful and have a nonrmal happy life, and i also want my bf back, not returned to be from his friend, but put back to his normal state of mind!!!!!
HHHHHHHHHHEEEEELLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!
