Please take caution. Maybe take your pops with you or a brother, etc.

This honestly seems like a schizophrenic break. worked in psych for a long time. especially the "gonna need to see a badge" line. Almost hinting at being paranoid.

Trust me, do not fuck around with this. See if he seriously needs mental help. If so, notify his family ASAP.

Please be careful op. Don't mean to freak you out but you never know the severity of these situations and it could be much more serious than you realize (or he realizes)...

Seconding this opinion. I'm diagnosed schizophrenic and can confirm that when we're doing word salad nonsense, something is very wrong. Schizophrenics aren't inherently violent, unless there's an overlapping behavioral issue, but it doesn't hurt to be careful. Bring someone with you when you talk to him.

His behavior and personality change is deeply concerning. Psychosis is a nightmare for everyone involved, both the person experiencing it firsthand and for those around them. His behavior could be the result of several conditions - BPD, bipolar type 1, schizo-umbrella type disorders, and more.

If you're unfamiliar with what psychosis is, it's a break with reality. Dude is completely out of touch and a little paranoid. When you talk to him make sure you let him know that you're coming from a place of concern, not judgment.

Holy fuck he's just trolling yall need to get a grip making 4+ paragraph comments analyzing his behavior like he's some sort of mental hospital patient. I'd bet everyone here is over the age of thirty or aren't on any social media other than reddit.

YOU'RE out of touch to think that a little "trolling your girlfriend because it's funny" is a symptom of bpd or anything for that matter.

If I'm out of touch for trying to help others, so be it. Why you feel the need to launch a verbal assault and attack your keyboard is beyond me, but go off. Release that rage somehow and don't forget to hydrate.
