Sorry if this is kind of long ... I
have a lot on my mind at the moment and so
kinda have difficulty expressing myself!
I used to run an anti-racist website where
we used to allow opposing views, meaning
we allowed racists to post. One of the
people who joined was a girl about a year
older than me. She seemed a nice
enough person except that she was really
obsessed with race and getting racist
groups to accept her and believe she was
white, despite the fact that she was
obviously not going to be accepted by them
because of her family history. I began
speaking to her on aim in an effort to get
her to change her mind, however I soon
discovered that she has a lot more
disturbing behaviour. When she was
younger she used to be in a lot of trouble
with the police and she tried to tell me
how to make a bomb. She is also
hysterically religious, not that there is
anything wrong with thid as I am religious
myself, but she tried to tell me that it
was ok to do things to abortion clinics
and believed she was on some kind of
mission to stop immorality. She also
can be quite reasonable (by her standards)
some days and others not, but seems to
have problems holding a conversation with
someone, she will just completely change
the subject out of nowhere, or log off or
whatever. She is on medication but
refusing to take it. I don't know what
she has but I think it might be
schizophrenia or schizotypal personality.
She seems to forget or take no notice
of what you say and she frequently asks
the same questions to me almost all the
time I tlak to her. However, she has
met a man on the internet who is as racist
as she is and who happens to be 39 years
old, she is 18. She asks me all the
time whether she should sleep with him and
sometimes several times in the course of
one of our conversations, she will ask
whether it is ok to do thins like get into
the back of the car with him, etc. She
has not met this guy and she is being
taken advantage of. I am no longer
involved in the running of the site but I
continue to talk to her, and it seems to
me that her ideas about their relationship
(he has told her all these lies which she
believes) are delusional especially given
the othe things which she is obsessed with
and given the circumstances. She also
has other delusions such as that there is
a secret jewish soceity that controls the
media and that white people are being
"destroyed" by the jews brainwashing them,
I am jewish and yet she continues to say
these things to me all the time. She is
also obessed by the thought of black
people having sex with white people and
constantly talks about how angry she is
against all kinds of people, sometimes it
will be racists, sometimes it will be
blacks, sometimes it will be jews,
sometimes it will be her family.
Although she is a christian, she told me
once she wanted to convert to islam.
She has a strange way of talking, repeats
herself a lot, uses very limited
vocabulary and some people have said she
might be autistic, but she writes far too
simply for that and I thought that
autistic people weren't normally nuts like
this.
I am worried that this man who she is
involved with will hurt her as he has a
history of violence and writing about
violent ideas, she has not told her
parents about it and although I dont
"know" her in real life I am one of the
only people she regularly talks to and I
would feel terribly responsible if
something were to happen to her.
I wnated to know if anyone had ever come
across someone like this before, whether
she is schizophrenic or something else and
whether there is anything that I could be
doing to help?
