My friend was accusing me of being out to get him and he was screaming at me since I got out of my appointment about how I'm informing the police about stuff that he's doing and such.

Possible trigger:

He even claimed he thinks that I would tell the police that he raped me.

He also told me he doesn't want to be friends with me until he finds out who's behind it. My friend is Schizophrenic so he's always paranoid about people being out to get him. He claims that someone hacked into his phone and downloaded a bunch of porn to his phone. We worked the not being friends thing out. He said we can stay friends unless something else happens (like someone hacking into his computer again). I'm really frightened by his delusional thinking. I mean, if he stops being friends with me because something supposedly happened (him being way more delusional), I am not going to ever be friends with someone else that is Schizophrenic because they are full of DRAMA!

He's seriously triggering me by yelling at me like he does because my dad used to do that and and that's how I developed PTSD (my dad also abused me Physically as well).

I don't know what to do about this guy. I'm really considering just walking out of his life and the friendship he is damaging every time he gets paranoid about something else. I cried the first time he accused me of being out to get him, and I was in the hospital ER and the doctor walked in in the middle of my crying and it was embarrassing. Now he's doing it again. And I have't cried about it yet, but if he keeps it up I probably will especially if he's raising his voice or screaming at me because that's a major trigger for me.

Should I just cut my losses and leave or should I stay and put up with him?

One thing is for sure, we MAY be stuck with our relatives, but we can damn sure choose our friends. Doesn't sound like this is healthy and may even become dangerous. You don't know, so were I you, I would take a step back, as quietly as possible. Big hug, I know it hurts to lose a friend.

I wouldn't be able to continue a friendship in that situation. As badly as I might feel about his mental illness, I have my own mental health and well-being that has to be my priority. It was just feel too threatening and unsafe for me to continue to expose myself to that kind of abuse. I realize he may not be entirely in control of his behaviors, but there is a bottom line of my own emotional and personal safety that I couldn't ignore.
