Me and some other family members are concerned about my sister. We think she may be bipolar and manic. She's been cheating on her husband for the past 6 months and asked for a divorce. She thinks she has it all figured out. Instead of expanding her painting business, she wants to get her CDL and drive a dump truck! It's the business her boyfriend's in.
She has been lying to everybody (except me, I think) about everything. She got a nose job 5 months ago. That's not something she had the money to throw away on. She put it on a credit card, I think.
I told her I think she may be manic and she said she is depressed also.
Is it possible she can be manic if she's running around on her husband?
This is so out of character for her. We are all in shock. She's been married 13 years.
I'm bipolar, so it is possible she can be, too. She's been taking Zoloft for many years. I think she's still taking it. She mentioned she wanted to stop it, so she can get her true feelings back. Zoloft makes her numb. She can't cry while on it.
I can't give anymore examples of mania other than risky behavior and increased sex drive, very increased! Do you think it is possible?
What should we do?
Is she really in love or is she mentally ill?
