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!!!!!

There’s a process for an admission against the will of the person. Usually it involves calling the police while they are clearly I’ll. If you have a therapist, ask them the process in your state. You could also try calling a help line for this information.

Do NOT call the police this could put her in a very scared and violent state.. I’ve seen it too many times when cops come and end up beating and or killing a mentally ill person. Get her in your car make sure there’s nothing that could hurt you and drive her to a rehabilitation facility you will have to wait as most of these places take 7 hours to get admitted sometimes even longer but she will get the help she needs and they typically bill you after you leave. Calling the police could get her a charge she won’t remember and could risk her being put in a jails mental institution which is the absolute worst thing you could to someone who is in this state. Don’t call an ambulance either I was billed $7000 for an ambulance that drove me 3 miles to the hospital for having a seizure. NOT WORTH IT. If money is the issue with the mental institution DRIVE her to the hospital they will admit her to the mentally ill section of the hospital and then they will force you into a rehabilitation and you will be billed after

If she will go willingly. I’ve been involved in admissions. It’s not great but got people the care they need. In NY they had a separate team from the actual cops that handled the psych cases. It’s different in every state. That’s why I suggested calling to find out the process.
