And his ideas and random thoughts are jumping from place to place and not making any sense. He messaged me today just now asking how my Christmas is today, and I told him it’s new years and he said that wasn’t him who messaged that something is making him do things. He doesn’t even sound like himself he kind of scared me lately when we talk. This all happened within a week ago. Like 2 weeks ago he was completely fine. Part of the problem is he refuses to be on any medication and he smokes weed all day everyday which isn’t helping him at all. Idk it’s like something snapped in him and he’s a different person suddenly.

What's his stance on treatment and different modalities as a whole? Is he like my dad who "cures his schizoaffective with a plant" instead of "swallows a pill that makes me need another and another and will make me feel like a zombie to reward the most corrupt men"? person, or more of a free spirit "yeah, I just prefer this, I don't look down on prescribed meds."
Are you able to keep contact with him or support him without triggering yourself right now?
I've never really been around people able to handle another manic person/me when I'm manic (unless you count 5% of the doctors I've seen), so take it easy on yourself if you just need to say "hey, I'm noticing you're acting different, and I'm a little scared. If you want help in finding some help or just having chit chat to calm down, I'm here, but I have to take care of me too. Hope to talk to you later, take care." (as an example)
