My ex who I’m still very close to suffers from mental health issues and I’m not sure how to help her. She is getting worse and it seems like the support she's getting from the nurses etc is close to non-existent. with a weekly check-in from a CPN who she just lies to and nothing else is done.
In April she started believing that “people” were tracking her, going into her house, using her details for fraud etc. She thought they were installing camera, having power meters installed in her name to power drug farms etc. She is also obsessed with terms and conditions, and licence agreements from software i.e Android terms and thinks she has been set up, made director of the company and people are using her name. She signs up for status reports from Paypal and when they send a system outage email she thinks someone has used her name for fraud.
After intervention from social work, she was sectioned for 3 days, released, and then sectioned again a week later for a 30-day hold, in a few days she started thinking more straightly but started for 20 days leaving with some medication.
She has been under the supervision of a CPN since leaving and had her meds changed a couple of times as they were making her feel very tired, in the last 3 weeks shes been taking no medication s she thinks she has no issues and it was making her worse, the nurse does not seem to have picked up on this.
When she in this state she thinks that I am the ring leader and controller of the people who live on the TV who talk to her and bully her. She thinks they record her and put her on Youtube & TickTok Lives especially when she's naked and people who live in the area have seen it and laugh at her.
On Saturday we met up and she did her usual claims of me being trying to set her up and telling the TV people to abuse her and threw me out. I went back an hour later at 1am and she had the windows open and music up full, she was singing and talking to the TV like it was answering back.
When I’m not being blamed for being the leader she thinks its people who used to be in her life and over the last weeks shes been reaching out to them, unfortunately, these are not nice people who have abused her in the past, hid her from the police when she went missing and one slept with her and offered her drugs for a “second round”. When I try and warn her she says they are lovely people and i just want to keep in control of her life.
I’m very much on my own with this, her family doesn't care and her small circle of friends are all drug users.
I have given up calling the CPN, they take a note and the last time told her exactly what I said starting a huge riot, obviously she lied and said its not true and the CPN once again done nothing.
Anyone have any tips about dealing with this?
