Dear All,
First, I must say apologize for the ramblings that is about to ensue. I’m emotionally drained for this all.

I believe my boyfriend may be going through psychosis. He believes he is under federal investigation. Unfortunately, he’s not fully able to know the reasoning for it. Can this be the case? Will the federal government truly “investigate” you and not tell you what for?

Second - he believes his lawyers and investigators have told him to disconnect with me because I give the appearance of him being dangerous because we went axe throwing and bottle breaking as a date activity. We have not been texting for an entire month and have kept all of our communication to social media messaging.

At first, I thought all of this were real and he’s going through a rough patch in life. But just last week, I texted him to see where he was at (instead of social media), and 12 hours later, lawyers and investigators are grilling him on why I texted him and why it appeared that he was in a conflict with me. This is when I realized that this may be all in his head. Not only that, but he also believes investigators are following him, with his phone and car tapped, and his house monitored. What’s worse is now he is isolating himself in his house and wants nothing to do with me (I’ve been since ostracized from his life - I think I asked too many questions that poked holes in his paranoia)

I’ve done quite a bit of research and this appears to be a common paranoia. But is there any chance this is actually happening? If not, why is his paranoia focused on me? I liked one of his Facebook status recently and again, immediately the next day, the investigators question him in why I liked it - even though 80 other people did as well.

I’ve reached out to his family for help but they’ve ignored my pleas. I’m not even sure they touched based with him on it as he hasn’t said anything or blocked me from social media. I did get him to agree to ONE counseling session with me next week in exchange for me to “disappear” from his life “forever”.

One more thing - he’s been seeing a counselor but most recently been referred to a psychiatrist (I have reasons to believe this is also in his head) and their #1 concern is suicide. He assured me that the “government would intervene” before he could commit. As I sat there crying for 20 minutes over this, he laid there, emotionless and no expression on his face.

Clearly, this has taken a huge toll on me. I constantly worry about him and potential suicide. Can someone please help? Is this a common thing for psychosis or is he *truly* going through a bad time with the government?

Thank you.
