Switch it off fgs.

Sorry offred I disagree. Bumping into him in a public place would be unfortunate but this guy may get off on the fat he is scaring her.

Chances ar he will get fed up.

Bad luck. Keep any texts and voice-messages and, if they persist beyond tomorrow, talk to the police.

Offred · 02/01/2014 22:00

But I'd be frightened he had been following me and/or would attack me. I really think he sounds that unhinged. If the police aren't aware of any of it and you haven't told him not to contact you it may not be treated seriously.

HairyGrotter · 02/01/2014 22:02

Who the fuck has injections for stress? Is there such a thing? No.

Now, keep any messages, don't reply, and if it continues, contact the police.

His Emotional instability is alarming especially after only 2 weeks Confused

Casmama · 02/01/2014 22:03

Christ offred are you trying to scare her- she said he doesn't know where she lives or works so that would make following her a bit difficult.

Tia2005 · 02/01/2014 22:06

I've looked it up on the Internet and the injections must be for depression .he was sayin he gets then every 3 months

And?

Casmama · 02/01/2014 22:08

I think that is in response to the pp who said injections may have been for schizophrenia

JeanSeberg · 02/01/2014 22:09

Yes but why are you even googling it op?

I think you should text him once more only and just say 'I have nothing more to say, please do not contact me again. Any further contact will be referred to the police.'

And then if he does persist I would at least log it with the police. I wouldn't be surprised if he has done this before.

PortofinoRevisited · 02/01/2014 22:17

What Sandy said. This is just an inadequate twat.

Just ran this by my dh - he's a GP who does a lot of psychiatry. Regular injections like that are only given for schizophrenia! not depression or stress. His behaviour suggests the same. Keep yourself safe and don't respond.

JaceyBee · 02/01/2014 22:21

No, no-one has injections for depression. It'll be a depo for something like schizophrenia. Not really relevant though. What phone do you have? Blocking numbers on an iPhone is easy.

JaceyBee · 02/01/2014 22:22

X post with the other mh professionals there!

JaceyBee · 02/01/2014 22:25

It would maybe indicate a history of non-compliance with takin medication orally. Of course schizophrenics are very rarely dangerous but if he isn't well then his behaviour could be erratic and unpredictable. I wouldn't engage with him any further at all.

JonSnowKnowsNothing · 02/01/2014 22:26

"Hello X, I've made it clear I want nothing to do with you yet you have persisted contacting me. Anything sent from now will be considered harassment and will be forwarded to the police. Goodbye."

JonSnowKnowsNothing · 02/01/2014 22:26

Oops, just seen this is very similar to a PP's suggestion!

Offred · 02/01/2014 22:28

I'm not sure the possible schizophrenia is irrelevant if he is delusional but equally I think it doesn't matter in terms of what you should actually do. He is behaving delusionally, that's all you need to know.

Have you called 101?

Offred · 02/01/2014 22:29

I don't think I'm necessarily over-egging it. Delusional stalkers are known to be quite dangerous.

SandyDilbert · 02/01/2014 22:36

I don't think the issue is schizophrenia, or any other possible illness, I think the issue here is his behaviour and the whole bunting of red flags his actions so far have shown.

Well done for texting him it's over!

You owe him nothing! You've achieved more investment in this thread than you did in that 'relationship'

Change your number as soon as you can!
