I’m just gonna give examples on why I think this. He’s super paranoid every time we are round each other and he’s always telling me how he thinks people can hear his thoughts and they respond to what he thinks. I told him that people can’t hear his thoughts but I feel like he didn’t believe me. He’s feels like every car that passes is watching him or after him. He came over my house because he’s staying with someone right now and he was telling me about how the neighbors next door keep talking about him and threatening his life. When he came over my house he said he felt like he was being monitored. Every place he goes to it’s the same thing. 

I stayed with him one night at his old apt after he smoked weed and it was a scary sight. He was laying next to me and mumbling under his breath. Telling me how he gets no privacy and that everyone lacks principles. He started to yell things like “shut up” to no one and was just getting really frustrated. He said he was just sleep talking but he wasn’t asleep. I told him I think he’s experiencing something that’s gonna need medical attention and he said I was calling him crazy and that he’s been like this his whole life. He basically just blew me off. I asked him if he heard voices talking to him and he said yes his neighbors were. I didn’t hear anything while I was there. Complete silence besides some bangs on the wall from his neighbors. After I told him I didn’t hear anything he just blew it off and said his hearing is better than mine. 

He just keeps telling me he can hear people from far away and it’s like he’s not comprehending how crazy it sounds. He’s gone three days without sleep. I’ve been trying to do things to make sure he feels better and gets sleep but nothing is getting better. 


The thing is he’s always been a paranoid person but never to this extent. It’s interfering with our relationship now. All he talks about now is these things and I’m so sad and worried because he won’t get help. What if this messes him up? I don’t know what to do I feel hopeless I don’t want anything to happen to him. How do you help someone who won’t get help or feel that they need it? I told him I think he should stop smoking weed cause it can cause psychosis but he didn’t listen to me. He’s been smoking his whole life so of course I knew it wouldn’t be that easy. I can’t stop crying I don’t know what to do. I feel so lost he’s my best friend and I love him I just don’t want anything to happen to him.
