Hi Reddit. I am pretty sure my stalker has erotomania and I'm just trying to figure out the best course of action for him to leave me alone. How does the fixation end for someone w erotomania?
He is someone I know from college and we haven't spoken in years, never been anything others than barely friends. I know he has a history of schizophrenia.
To make a long story short, he is currently trying to rent the apartment next to mine down the hall. My building management is aware he is stalking me but are worried he will sue them if they reject his application due to fair housing laws. I have made multiple police reports and am having trouble getting a stay away order due to the way the law is set up (doesn't protect you unless youve had a previous intimate relationship w the person or are family).
I am about to move out of state but have a few weeks left here. I'm worried he will find a way to follow me to my new location despite taking appropriate measures (PO box, deactivated all my social media, etc). I'm going to try to speak w a district attorney tomorrow for a stay away order but I am not hopeful. I just feel so helpless in this situation. Any insight into erotomania is appreciated.
