Let me start with I am not schizophrenic, but have reason to believe the girl involved in this is. I met a girl in college about 11 years ago and honestly have not spoken to her since around that time. She randomly messaged me on instagram about a month ago and sent some messages saying that someone else that I have never met was saying he knew me and said concerning things about me (never learned what was said exactly) and what I do for a living. I was very polite and just told her the truth, which is, I have no idea what she’s talking about as I don’t know this guy. 

Things have escalated quickly and she’s now posting on her social media accounts that i’m torturing innocent women and have mind control powers. Apparently, she believes this guy has implanted a chip in her brain and that I am somehow involved (still not sure how). I was able to get in touch with her mother, and turns out that this guy does not exist and this is all a delusion that has been going on for a year. Her mother didn’t think there was much she could do but I can’t just stand by while these false claims are posted about me online. This girls got over a thousand followers on facebook and instagram and has started contacting my family members too. 

I am posting in here for advice on what I can do and what my options are. I hope that she receives the help that she needs but i’m just at a loss for how to handle this situation. I really do not want to get lawyers or police involved, but I have reason to believe she will contact the police with these claims. 

If anyone has any ideas or has been in a similar situation on either side of this, please let me know.
