I need help. I'm dealing with mental illness in my household and don't know what to do.

My gf has lost her mind during this pandemic.

She just put a BLM sign in the back of her car.

In her side window she also put a sign that reads "White silence is white violence".

We live in a nice neighborhood. Its like painting a bullseye on the front of my house.

I made her take them down.

She went to a BLM protest locally. Where some wacko convinced her to believe the phrase "all lives matter" is racist and is a hate term directed at the BLM movement.

I asked her how she thinks this makes her teenage son feel...asking her if she intends to make him feel guilty for having white skin. The question was over her head. She can't understand this concept.

She's vulnerable to propaganda. She's scared to death of the coronavirus. Has barely left the house for 10 weeks. Hasn't worked a minute. I've been working 60 hours a week to get us by.

During the time i believe a preexisting mental health condition has come out. She'll talk nonstop for hours, changing the subject of the conversation so rapidly that what she says doesn't make sense. Contradicts herself from one sentence to the other. Manic depressive, with no regard to reasoning or logic. If I disagree with her on any subject, she takes it as an attack on her character. If she cries, she'll cry for 5 hours straight. If she gets excited about something, she'll become compulsive and stay up for 2-3 days straight (no drugs).

I've asked her to talk to a therapist or see a doctor. She'll agree and then act like we never had the conversation. If I try to push it, she'll go into the crying stage and corner me until she breaks me down.

The only way I get any peace is to completely leave her alone and let her chase whatever crazy ideas she has and not hold her accountable.

Has anyone else dealt with a similar situation? I'm at a loss on where to go from here.

PS- I want to help her. I've been with her over 5 years, and she has never been like this. Giving her the boot and leaving her out to dry is not an option.

Classic bipolar behavior. It's a chemical imbalance and actually medication works pretty well in a short period of time.

Yet you are making threads claiming the CIA are after you.

Ok...a real advice? Make her believe that she is right about blm. Follow her in protest and even protest with her. Don t destroy your love for a idea. Patience. She will quickly see that this movement is nothing more than a huge joke.

Manic-depressive bi polar disorder, suffering from White Knight syndrome. Been there, done that many years ago. It eventually required involuntary hospitalization in the hospital psych ward (10 days, first 3 are mandatory 72 hour hold) to diagnose and get a working cocktail of drugs that would help me. She needs help you can not provide. This is the honest truth. You can help her get the help, thats it. My mom and doctor had to call the cops on me to get me to go to the hospital that had the psych ward. Things will get better, I am living proof. Hang in there brother.

Time to eject and find a new one.
