Psychosis

I'm not sure what do at this point. I think my sufferer is having psychosis. From other posts recently he has been in isolation shut out for a month due to his increasing symptoms, negating thr treatment plan, and his behavior prompting me to say hey its over if this doesnt change. Since then, odd behavior with isolation, not his norm, and it's similar to a situation that occurred two years ago. Texts if I do get them are not his norm. He has said something to me via text last night that was odd to me but to some of my support persons it freaked them out to the point of asking me to not stay at my home alone for the time being. I reinforced that I care about him and I love him and I also offered that if he needs and wants help with what he may be going through I would be there, no response. I cant contact his family because they wont intervene (been there done that), his friends all have families and keep their distance from him, Veterans line is useless, and his therapist (if he is still going but I'm more inclined to think he isnt) I cant get a hold of, and he hasn't followed up with his psychiatrist in a year. Do I continue to encourage from a far? I can't call PD because nothing I have outright states he is going to harm himself or anyone.
 
Because of his instability at times. When he is highly symptomatic he becomes delusional, paranoid, and he has a history of HI. It was odd, he told me he would drop off things on a specific day at midnight and to not think someone was breaking in or any illegal stuff. He has no access to my home so it literally would be a leaving something at the front door. It's difficult to explain the past history of behaviors and things said by him. Safety has been a concern at times by things he has said towards me or others when he was using alcohol and non med compliant. I know in his current state he is angry and mad at me in an irrational way. So safety is concerning. I know it's because he is in a thick of an episode. I guess maybe this time around I need to stay afar because I dont think anything is going to convince him to get help.
 
I echo @Sweetpea76 , this is really vague to answer any questions. But I would caution you about trying to diagnose him from some texts to you. If you're just using that thought as an excuse to stay away and cautious for now, than okay. But you nor any of us can diagnose him with anything.
Do you see a therapist? That could be a place to start. Your first priority needs ti be your own safety, period. So please make sure you keep yourself out of harm's way.
