To be honest, the fact that he may be mentally ill is just a speculation of mine. I was in an abusive, controlling relationship for a year. I broke it off 9 months ago because he tried to control how I use the Internet, like he told me to stop watching certain shows (anime) I took it to heart cs Wth you mean I can’t watch anime??? It was just my last straw, like u control everything down to my size and friendships. I was over it, now I’m here and for the past 9 months this man has been blowing my phone up every single day, the messages ranged from severe threats of unaliving me, threatening to leak my intimate pictures, begging for me to take him back, texting me off an unknown number and pretending to be someone else, trying to become my friend or catch up with me. All with fail, I have tried EVERYTHING!!! I called the police and got a restraining order(temporary and sadly it’s long past it’s expiration date) I change my number more than 20 times, I always leave my door lock out of fear that he’ll show up at my door (he’s done this in the past, like wait for me outside of my apartment building till I get out of school) I never engage with the messages out of fear/disgust, and today he texted me accusing me of having a friendly conversation with him last night and going to his house. I was in bed by 6pm and I definitely did not speak to this man. Since I’ve last called the police on him he stopped his threatening approach and just tried friendly conversations. Ones that I do not interact with. I’m just worried because since he’s so adamantly accusing me of seeing him last night, it is clear that he is no longer in his right mind. He’s already unhinged but now he’s seeing things. Should I call the police on this clearly mentally ill man again even though the messages are no longer threatening? They let him off the hook last time considering our age so what should I do? Is it even possible to report someone for bothering you if it’s not technically threatening your life?? Please help, I’m desperate. I’m thinking of ditching this phone, getting a burner and moving out of my moms apartment. Might go as far as changing my name before I end up on a true crime documentary.
