I know a woman who was psychotic due to a genetic disorder. DiGeorge syndrome. It can cause major MIs such as Bipolar and Schizophrenia. This is a rare disorder so certainly not main cause of most MIs. Back in 2014 she sufered delusions concerning her and relationship to a certain actor. Believe me there was no such relationship. She became very verbally abusive toward me including threats of physical harm. Then sometime in 2015 she suddenly because friendly with me. No explanation, nothing. It was like verbally violent with psychotic thoughts than next day back to normal. There was no apology and no explanation. Never asked for an apology or explantion. I let her behavior slide. I am friend with her but I'm playing it be ear. Do you think I'm doing the right thing?

What you're doing is very kind. I woukd think it's okay. But be careful to protect yourself. In a way, what happened gave you valuable information . . . to let you know how psychologically damaged this lady is by her congenital disorder. It sounds like you're not personalizing her bad behavior toward you, which is mature of you.

Are their other people who are responsible for her welfare? It might be appropriate for you to compare notes with them, as to the extent of how badly she decompensates. This is apt to happen again.

MIs and psychosis make us behave completely out of character.

She was unstable when she was hurtful.

I'd definitely give your friendship a chance now that she is stable.

Thank you for your reply. I am playing it by ear with her. IOW seeing how it goes. So far so good. No way I can tell what the future will bring with our friendship. I am forgiving. Conversely I do look after myself.
