ADVICE My girlfriend spiraled into severe mental instability, psychosis and delusions. I need help what should I do? NSFW

So my girlfriend who I’ve been with a decent amount of time has begun to show psychosis and bipolar tendencies. It’s severe she has conversations with someone who ain’t there like full blown convoys. She’s constantly getting angry and tries to get violent. She cleans my apartment time after time even if it has already been cleaned. She is begging to get violent with me threatening to stab me. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Dude, what is Reddit supposed to do in this situation? CALL EMERGENCY SERVICES! she clearly needs to be assessed and likely medicated.

Maybe try being kind. It’s not always cut and dry when it comes to people we love. We hear horror stories about people going in for mental health services and being treated terribly. We see people on the news that reach out to the police for help and someone ends up unalived. While it’s easy for an outsider to just say call police call emergency services, it’s not always easy to do that.

So maybe think before speaking and use some kindness and compassion. This would is cold and cruel and they reached out to us for advice.

Agreed. This person came here because they were truly lost on what to do and was asking advice on the best way to take action. No need to kick someone while they’re already down
