I got restraining orders on a guy with a mental illness and he’s up to his old tricks.

I got a restraining order on a guy with severe mental health issues a few years ago. He would call me constantly and leave threatening voicemails. He would do this for hours on end, and he always wanted me to meet him. I never did and he eventually got so threatening that I was able to go to the police and get a restraining order.<br><br>It’s been a while and I’ve basically forgot about it. I started working from home as a customer service rep and I’ve been getting a lot of calls from this one guy. He has an accent but has trouble speaking so I couldn’t understand what he wanted. He’s been calling me nonstop but I didn’t think twice about it because I get a lot of them. <br><br>The other night I was working late and I got a call from this guy and he was more clear with what he wanted. I was going to count him up when I heard him say my name. It was our abusers name. I stopped and realized it was the same guy from a few years ago. He started talking with the same accent but with a different voice, and he said “I’m so glad we’re talking again. This is going to be extremely satisfying.” He confirmed he was the same guy by saying his name and that he is out of prison. <br><br>I hung up the phone and now he’s been sending me emails and messages on several platforms. When I delete the emails he finds new ways to contact me, and I’m extremely paranoid about it. I don’t know what to do. I’ve talked to the police but they’ve basically said “do not engage and get a new email address.” I blocked all of his numbers but found more numbers he calls from. I’ve been getting so many threatening emails and voicemails and it’s making me sick to my stomach. I’ve never felt so vulnerable. <br><br>I don’t know what to do. I really need advice. <br><br>Edit: I just got a call from the police and what abuser did was give them my number and tell them that I threatened to kill him. He’s getting a trespassing ticket with a court date and they’re going to do some sort of welfare check on him. abuser is extremely nuts and the police have dealt with him for a long time, they said with absolute certainty that he’s going to try to hurt me. I’m extremely paranoid and my heart is just abnormally pounding. The cops said to get a new phone number and I’ll be going tomorrow to get one. I got a new email address and I’m going to have a more serious talk with my work about it. They said it’s a lot to deal with but I can bring it to work and they’ll listen.<br><br>Also, I should’ve said this earlier in the original post, is that I’m not sure how bad his condition is but it doesn’t seem extremely bad. I mean, he can talk and walk but I could hear something was wrong. I know is sounds harsh but I’m extremely abusers with him. He’s made my life a living hell. <br><br>Thanks for all of the support.
