TLDR: I had someone with borderline personality disorder latch onto me. Caused PTSD.

Without giving away too much of the situation I was in a work position of authority with mentally unstable/emotionally unstable patients as a primary caretaker. One of the individuals was extremely suicidal. Of course the object of the day was to not lose a patient and to get them to see some joy in life to keep going. Months of having good days and bad turns out that I was the favorite caretaker for this individual.

The first time the patient had to be hospitalized and we went through his belongings we found love notes. I went to my supervisor immediately and asked to be removed from the patients home. The second time that the patient had to be hospitalized he tried to break my arm to stop me from exiting the room. We found more love notes over more hospitalizations.

To provide extra context this patient believed that the power of suggestion would make it reality and speaking things into existence was real. Mentions of he and I being married with kids started becoming a fantasy for him.

After finally getting my superior to do something about the situation after months of begging to be removed, the patient started stalking me. This went on for years until I left the job completely, well after the patient was removed.

Turns out the patient had a kidnapping plan in place that he shared with another employee. To this day I can’t have anyone walk in the door without jumping, reacting to the persons build/skin tone/ hair style combination. I still carry a gun with me as much as possible.

No legal action was able to be taken against the patient and he to this day lives in the same city. I still get friend requests across social media platforms with fake profiles I later find out is him. I refuse to use social media like normal people my age due to the situation. I try to be a ghost as much as possible.
