I'm sorry, this might be a very dumb question, especially since I don't know every thing that's going on in his mind or anything. I just know what I see. Here it goes anyway. My father was a paranoid schizophrenic. So my friends behavior kind of reminds me an my mother of my father. I remember my father used to hang out in parked cars with sunglasses on. He would say he was listening to music, but the car was off. I know a lot of this doesn't sound like much, but my mother woke me up one day flipping out because my friends stuff was still here, but he wasn't. I found him in the garage, inside a car that doesn't start since the battery is dead. Ok, he says he was waiting for a call, but if you were waiting for a call, wouldn't you go outside once the call was received? They both share an abnormal fondness of electronics. Like why exactly would you want to turn a microwave on with a cell phone? They both share the fear of the government trying to get them. My friend has a microwave in his room with his back up disks of all these games he downloaded inside of it. He has this microwave set so when he turns it on, not only will the disks explode or whatever they may do in a microwave, but this microwave will short out the electricity in the entire house. They are very destructive. My friend has broke a mug, he has gouged up the tiles in the kitchen. he slapped by boyfriend with our dogs winter coat and broke the buttons on it. I know, this doesn't sound that horrible, but my mother is very sentimental. That coat was our chihuahuas first winter coat. The mug had my name and my boyfriends name on it and was bought for us by his parents. Those tiles in the kitchen were laid down by us on our own. We busted our butts on those tiles. They may not have been perfect to begin with, but that's not for him to decide.

I've looked up some symptoms, just to see if maybe it's just similarities between two weird people, but they make match. Inability to make decisions. He has to ask me and my boyfriend which game he should play ALL THE TIME. To the point where it gets annoying. Nervousness. He cant drive over to my house which is about a 5 minute drive, at night, with no traffic, and no car in sight on the roads. Today he was asking what time gas stations close and if he would have enough gas in HIS gas tank to get here. He stops at a gas station on his way over, but he doesn't get gas. He says that other people came up next to an behind him and apparently the gas station is closed. Strange statements and weird behavior. Well, for starters, whenever he hears anything from the tv, he automatically says "You're a..." whatever was said on tv. Meaning ANYTHING. Like "You're a Dance Your Ass Off" Last night we went for a right in my boyfriends new car. He kept sliding around in the back seat going, trying to shove his head out of the sun roof. At some point he was going off about a "girl getting raped by a truck." He said something about it, then questioned it. "How would a girl get raped by a truck? Does the truck have tenticals?" then starts laughing. He would also go outside quite frequently. He sometimes says that he gets hot, sometimes he says that he gets cooped up or something. A Conviction that you are better than others. Self explanatory. He goes off about how humans are so horrible and disgusting and useless and how no human should exist, but he's perfect. Practicing how to kill people is normal to him. Hold unusual poses for extended period of time. The tv would be on, he would also be playing a video game and out of nowhere, he would just sit there, head tilted down with his cheek on his shoulder. Eyes close. I know that with schizophrenia, you would get religious and or slutzy (lack of better word at the moment). We have had many many conversations about god, and whether he exists, and what is the purpose of live and etc. I don't even know how, but he just constantly get's on the topic of sex or porn some how. Just today he just started talking about some porn he had on his lap top. He always has to make the simplest statements, or comments something dirty.

There are many many more symptoms that I have found that actually matched up. I probably just sound paranoid. I'm sorry if I offended anyone. I'm not trying to do that, but my father had this. I already watched my father throw my mother down the stairs and I don't want to see his mother or my boyfriend or anyone at all at the bottom of the steps in a pool of blood again. I don't want to see precious, cherished items smashed into pieces, scattered across the floor again. I also do not want to deal with cops saying "Oh, you're afraid of him? He's harmless. *turns to him* seems like they don't want you here" again. I may seem a little angry with this, but my boyfriend actually confronted him about this. He only just asked him if he was diagnosed with this. Instead of being like "what? Where did this come from?" he got all angry about it. Hung up on me when we were on the phone. Then he told his mother who now wants to talk to my boyfriend. For what? An honest question? I think that if we're such good friends, we should know. We should at least have a warning that there maybe a "moment." We should be able to try to help. Like I know I sound very mean, but there has been too much pain and violence and evil that still exist to this day even though my parents are divorced. I'm sorry that this is sooo long, but if I could get some kind of feed back that would be great. I think an outside opinion would help. Also, would anyone know a nice way to approach this topic to him again?
