She's just trying to help and can't relate and you have your hands full.

Billie, my boyfriend has bipolar 1 and he becomes nuclear psychotic when he is manic. One time, he went into a doctor's office. He thought he was there to clean the office. So he "showed up for work." He was delusional and the staff got scared because he would not leave. They had to call the police although he left before they arrived. He's a handful when he has a manic break and he tends to frighten people...not on purpose. He just has intensity and always a big plan or purpose.

It's interesting trying to care for a person with bipolar. Sometimes it's hard. I didn't realize I was difficult sometimes. lol
