Answer 2

Your friend may have slipped into a temporary psychosis, he's lucky to have you as a friend, but don't take this lightly. He does need professional help asap. Can you arrange for this or can you have him stay with a friend or family, or maybe you need to call 911 or a psych hotline, sorry I dont know any numbers for this. But I think this is VERY serious and he needs help ASAP. You're a great friend to not judge him, but you see the major difference in his personality right now. Heres' what I found searching psychosis.

Psychosis is a mental and behavioral disorder in which a person has trouble telling the difference between what is real and what is not real. It may cause bizarre thoughts and behavior.

A person with psychosis may have:

Delusions, which are firmly held but false beliefs. Irrational suspicion of others (paranoia) is a common delusion. The person may think others are watching or trying to hurt or even kill him or her.
Hallucinations, which are false perceptions. Hallucinations can include seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling, or tasting things that are not really there.
Personality changes. Here's a definition
Treatment for psychosis depends on the cause and may include care in a hospital. Medications that diminish hallucinations and delusions and stabilize thinking and behavior are helpful. Group or individual therapy also may be helpful.
I would need more info to figure out exately what's happening, but please get hime some help ASAP. God Bless and good luck.

Answer 3

I'd say get the dude a reality check.
Fast!

Gang up all his friends and remove him from his daily routine abruptly. Like a kidnaping... Take him to a location he has never been to and each of you goes over to him, say something you think he needs to change and slap him hard on the face.
Then anothe friend comes over and does the same thing.
Once they've all done this he should be nice and atentive, unless he has really lost it.

After he's paying atention just talk to him, and explain that you were afraid he wouldn't pay any atention unless you did something really crazy like that. Explain you thought he was loosing his mind and that you tought getting to him any way you could was the best thing you thought of.

That or blame me...

Answer 4

my brother went thru the same thing, expect it has been five years and he still acts crazy like that, not all the time just most of the time, i seriously think he needs meds........and possible to talk to a counselor, as for neety beety, never heard that one, just tell him not to say it around you cuz it creeps you out.

Answer 5

He sounds like he needs to be seen by a dr. he can then get some kind of referral to see a psychiatrist to evaluate him. It definitely sounds like the beginning stages of a mental breakdown..The mind just cant handle what has happened to him emotionally.
Get him to one before his behavior gets worse and he causes more harm to himself or even others. He needs an emotional time out for his own good. If you are his friend you need to get him there and support him through this.

Answer 6

Try to accompany your friend to a therapist appointment. Many work on a sliding fee scale, check the phone book and make a few calls. Bring the topic up and see if you can get him to talk other than gibberish, maybe he can eventually cry it out.

Answer 7

I don't think hes lost his mind-he may just be going through some changes since hes lost his girlfriend! All you can do is be there for him when he needs you-and I think he'll let you know when that time is. See if he wants to talk about it-if not, treat him as you always did -like a friend. Let him know that you are there for him. You never know-that may be all he needs to hear!

Answer 8

Hopefully your friend is not suffering from UOS Upending over syndrom. Its where the mind reffers to stay in the same situation (being with his girl) and the symptoms are this
*Sudden anxiety attacks
*Talking to themselves
*Repeating Speech Patterns
*Loss of apetite*
*Decrease or lack in social situations*
Nobody ever really hears about it, but my brother went through it. It was weird.

Answer 9

Be there for him dude.He's trying to keep his mind.It's like a person who's been beaten up real bad but are still on their feet.He's working through the pain trying to keep himself sane.
Listen to him.Don't offer advice unless he asks.And let him know you're there for him.If he gets too self destructive do some serious intervention.And let him know every tear he cries now is one less he'll have to cry later.

Answer 10

Your friend needs psychiatric help now. He sounds like he has had a mental breakdown and he needs medication. I think you should also tell his parents that you are very worried about his mental health. Take him to the nearest emergency department for a mental health assessment. Good Luck.

Answer 11

Introduce him to another girl, quick, so he realizes their are other options out there. If the weird behaviors continue the he is going to have to speak to a professional. People deal with loss in strange ways sometimes.
