She is very manic over this virus and driving me crazy. People next door is cutting there grass and she is yelling at me to cut our grass right now and it's not in need. She has in last few days been real manic because we can't go outside to the stores because have a major problems and also we have them to that if we get the virus we will die for sure. But can't get her to understand it.

Hey Billybob, I'm sorry. Are you okay? Are you two just driving each other up the wall? Is it possible to share some reasonable information on the virus with her that might calm her down? While it is serious, it is not anything to panic about. Maybe she is listening to much to the doomsdayers who are spreading myths?

She told me today she can't live in lock down and wanted to leave and drive her car to another like Florida to get away. She not taking her meds and wants to die. Her girlfriend told she needs to check in to a mental hospital because she can tell she going crazy. Girlfriend has Bi-polar also but takes meds. My girlfriend has a mental doctor in Nashville TN and she talks to him by video only.

I can't go out in the public because of my blood clots in my lungs and my doctor told the virus would kill me.

She changed her mind and not going anywhere right now.

She now been placed in a mental hospital because of her Bipolar. I don't know how long they will keep her this time. Will they keep her longer because of this virus? I'm afraid she will get out to early and go everywhere in public and get this virus and bring back to me.

Thanks for the help from everyone.

She coming out today but still in bad mood. She blaming the hospital and staff for not giving her the right medicine. Should I tell them she is still in a real bad mood?

Thanks.

Yes, absolutely. And let them know your own limitations in being able to keep her and yourself safe. If she comes home and things being to fall apart, do not hesitate to 911 and get her back in the hospital. Please let them know that you need help---that you cannot deal with this alone. And be honest with them about how it makes you feel.

I did what you told me. She will be staying longer this time. She in the past told them what they want to hear so she can leave early . She is a big bull ******* and loves to make fake crying.

Take good care of yourself during this time. You did the right thing for the right reasons.

It didn't do any good. She's is still real manic when got home. They look at me as a nobody because I'm not married to her. So what I say doesn't mean anything it looks like. She says they had two people in the group that had bad coughs and no masks. They grouped everybody together.
