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!!!!!

If she’s in danger of hurting herself or others, she needs emergent care. I know it’s impossible to make this decision (I’ve been in your girlfriend’s position in the past), but she needs help you can’t provide her. What you can do is get her to a place that will keep her safe, help her through this scary period, and help her get stabilized on meds and connected to services in the community. You can’t do this on your own, and it’s okay to bring her somewhere that can take over her care until you can again.
