I wasn't able to find what I was looking for.
My ex bf up for a number of days once
Started talking to himself but not how people usually talk to themselves
He was using two different tones
I felt like when it happened the atmosphere changed and the conversation he was having was intrusive to the point where he was like fighting against himself saying he wouldn't harm me and the other toned voice was saying otherwise.
It seemed like he was really fighting against himself.
He the started saying other stuff and I figured its best I leave. When i came back he explained he couldn't control himself and he didnt know what was happening. It's been a few months since his done that but there has been a few times where he goes of the rails and I look in his eyes and It looks like no one is there. What and is there something I could do for him.
What would you call talking in two different tones.

Hello Dear UpsiideDown,
Welcome to the forums,
Im sorry you had to experience that with your boyfriend…that would have been a bit frightening when he handed the knife to you….
UpsiideDown, Maybe make an appointment with your bf with your’s or his Dr….and you can explain to them what has been happening….Your bf seems aware of what he’s doing but cannot control it….Hopefully by him knowing what’s happening with him, he will be open for a Drs visit…maybe he has some mental health struggles that needs to be addressed….
My kindest thoughts ..and care…
Grandy..

Hey there! Without sounding too alarmist - this could potentially be something to be concerned about - especially the dualling voices where one of them mentioned causing harm to you. I would highly recommend gently suggesting a visit to the GP with him during a time where he seems incredeibly stable etc.
