I just spent the last 5 and a half hours listen to a crazy person. Somebody that was a friend. Not a close friend but a friend. Listening to him tell me that people are after him, and that his family was moving into the two protect him. Listening to him tell me the he is here to help me. And that everybody around me is in trouble. My work is going to be shut down. But not to worry I am going to be OK. His family is part of the Masons, Hells Angels, some union, and Satan's Choice. He then asked if I have ever been camping, when I said yes he said good that he might need to take me away for a year in the woods to hide out. I am thinking buddy, if you think I am going anywhere alone with you, then you got another thing coming. That just screams horror film. All this as I am trying to work. 10pm rolls around and I am thinking FINALLY home time. He asked me if I wanted a ride home and I said no I am OK with walking. Just wanting to get away from him. Of course that did not work. He proceeded in following me home. I get home and there he is. I question him and he said he just wanted to make sure that I got home OK. He asked me if he could come up and I said that I really wanted to go to bed. He said that he would not be long. So I said fine. 2 and half hours more of listening go on and on how people are out to get him, how he cannot go to coffee shops to get coffee because he gets drugged. That I need to make sure that I get a carbon monoxide detector close to my bed. To watch what I text on my cell. And to light candles so I can see if somebody is leaking gas into my apartment. I was like umm if there is a gas leak in my place then those lit candles are going to make me go BOOM. He even made me turn the volume down on my cell convinced that people are listening through it.

So I ask how do I tell somebody that they have lost it?

This is not the first time I have had to listen to this. But he seemed normal for awhile so I figured he got meds or something. But nooooo I had to go through it all over again tonight.frustrated

Tell him you love him with all your heart and that you want to talk about establishing a "Future" together cause you will need to know that he is a capable provider for when you have kids....ask what his goals are for 2 months, 3 years and 10 years......(really hammer on the Goals aspect)


Believe me....that will freak him the hell out and he will drop off the radar.

Ask him why he has a duck on his head. Then he'll think you are the crazy one and leave you alone.

Somebody needs to call an ambulance to take him away so he can be properly diagnosed and medicated.

The first step is for you to convince them that they are...when they can accept this the healing will begin....My 2nd exwife was convinced that everyone in my family including myself was crazy. Unfortunatley I could never get her to wake up to reality thats say.....You can only do so much..Try to talk to him in a loving way and help him to realize what is actually going on....If he is suisidal or could hurt anyone you need to get him to professional help....good luck I will pray for you and your friend

I started thinking that next time he comes over I should have a tape recorder and record what he is saying. Then again a lot of the things he was writing down, cause remember her was convinced that people are listening in on us. But enough was said that if I did record it, it would sure give enough evidence to the local mental hospital to get the men in the white coats to come and take him away.

Actually, that probably wouldn't do it.

In my experience, they have to have made some sort of threat, or BE a threat to themselves or someone else.

As long as he doesn't do something physical to anyone, or get hit with stalking charges or something like that, the mental hospital wouldn't take him.

Honestly because he is a fiend. And i do not turn my back on my friends. I knew that if I was in my house I know where things are that could help me if I needed it. And I knew that he would not hurt me.

yeah see, I have this one friend. He keeps telling me to "GET IN THE BLOODY CAR". I think there is something he is trying to tell me.

I think you should talk to a very strong muscular man and have them come handle the, um, not normal person.
