My family and spouse seem to know I am out of my mind and do not expect me to apologize for things I can't remember. Unfortunately some of the most inappropriate things I have done are exaggerated expressions of things I actually felt inside. I lose my filter when manic. Other craziness has no explanation other that loose associations, grandiosity, paranoia, and a racing brain.

Thank-you so much for your reply, she is not medicated and under a tremendous amount of stress. My concern is that she won’t address the delusions or her actions. Her daughter is in a facility now, my God, it would seem that she would understand that this is genetic. I have heard her say that she feels like she has lost years of her life. Prozac was the only medication she was ever on. Problem is she drank excessively when people were not looking. If alcohol wasn’t available, she would smoke pot. I guess all the self-medicating was not a successful replacement for therapy.
I worry that when or if she ever comes out of her delusional state, she may hurt herself. I just cannot believe she could live with herself after what she has done. I am so scared!
