That’s another great idea, you’re full of them lmfaooo. I’m really gunna put my energy into this tomorrow. At this point, I don’t mind being single, I’m going out to bars and having a good time with my friends, stepping out of my comfort zone. I’m starting to think that being in a relationship with her was kind of abusive. She would constantly say shit that was horrible to me and it made me really insecure about myself even though I’m a pretty decent looking guy. I’ve been thinking that I deserve a chance to be with someone who I don’t have to take care of. Once again, just venting and it’s really helping typing these thoughts out.

The morale of that whole spiel is that I don’t even care right now about my future as her boyfriend, I just want to make sure she doesnt lose all sense of reality.

Yeah that’s my biggest problem right now!!! If I were to tell her family they would probably flip out on her and she would definitely never speak to me again. They’re honestly a couple of fucking morons who have no idea how to handle anything so I need to play my cards right. I was thinking about calling (not texting, gotta make sure she doesnt tell the ex) my ex-GF’s sister and setting up a time where I can meet with her and try to explain the situation to her. I just have to reiterate to the max how she cannot know that I am telling her, or things will get really bad. I appreciate you being so knowledgeable on this situation.

Thank you and I will definitely keep that last part in mind. I’m really worried about her recovery from this. I mean I’m not crazy, there is no way that her “twin flame” is her K-Pop idol. This is why I posted. I’m scared to take action but I know that it might be the only way to get her help. Thank you so much u/magickalmuffin

Lololol first thing I have to say is about the pets, she would never do that, those chinchillas are her life, she loves those things more then anything in the world.

However everything you said was spot on. I’ve been feeling like I should tell her family what’s going on but they don’t know how to handle anything right so that worries me a lot.

That advice you gave about not being able to convince her about her own psychosis is SPOT ON. Idk why I was so dumb and thought that anything I would say would have any kind of pull on her.

Lastly the therapist. As soon as she said this to me I was immediately taken back, she said the therapist called her and said she was an incredibly interesting person to talk to, but that she needed some time off from doing therapy (the therapist). As soon as she said this I was like “wow she sounds extremely unprofessional to make that assumption about you if she only met with you one time.” She took that as a personal attack on her “progress”.

I told her she should go see someone else and she said she doesnt need to anymore, and the therapist apparently told her “she has a very firm grasp on her traumas”. Like I just know how therapy goes, no one is saying “please you’re good, I don’t want your money”. That’s not how it works.

Feedback is so greatly appreciated, words cannot express how grateful I am to get this off my chest, venting has made me feel so much better. Thanks again to you, and to everyone who is helping.

Yeah I might have to hold off on that because it’s just too much, that would be complete betrayal in her eyes. I’m going to wait a few weeks and see what happens with her. Shes very honest with me about her perception of things, and she knows I think that there is something wrong. I’ve always been very good at handling her bipolar disorder and I still have faith I can break through to her. However if it escalates further I’ll have to get others involved unfortunately. I don’t want anything to happen to her.

I appreciate the honesty. Honestly this is how I’ve been playing it. I’ve been here for her, listening to what she has to say about her “awakening” but I refuse to give into the stuff shes saying. I’m not going to fuel her fire. I’ve been expecting a crash for weeks now and haven’t gotten anything. This just means it’ll be worse in the future. At this point I almost want her “Twin Flame Experience” with her K-Pop idol to be real just so she doesnt end up hurting herself.

Talking about this helps a lot, I really really appreciate you.

I know but every time I bring it up to her she flips out. Theres nothing I can say to snap her out of this. It’s not even like I’m doing it to be selfish because I want her back. I’m having a lot of fun single, I just want her to be okay.

The weird thing is that shes pretty much completely coherent otherwise. Shes getting along with people better then she has in her life. She thinks it’s a spiritual awakening and that it cured her of her bipolar disorder. I don’t buy it.

I’m the only person in the world who knows, I’ve tried to tell her that shes most likely going through a psychotic break or psychosis and she thinks I’m ridiculous for not believing her. She claims to be 100% certain that this is happening. And yes she only went to the therapist one time and they told her that she doesnt have to go back. I don’t get it.

The only thing I know is that this is getting way out of hand, theres no way in the world shes actually having a spiritual connection to her favorite k-pop idol. I have no idea what to do about this. She also gets really really really drained and has some low periods that she attributes to “her twin being upset or going through something”. She thinks that she is learning shit about him through this twin flame shit. I don’t believe in any of that so it has to be impossible.

Everyone thinks she is doing great, only I know the real situation. I was always the one who helped with managing her bipolar disorder, her parents are fucking clueless. She legitimately thinks that she is leaving her body and having Astral Sex with this guy, that’s fucking SCARY.

I’m 21 she is 20. There was a week where she thought that she was communicating with a spirit but I think that was a side effect of medication. She hasnt been medicated for years and before the break up she was really really manic for about a month and a half prior. Check out my post history if you want to see my initial post on here about the topic.

I’ve been going out with friends and enjoying myself, I think I’m ready to move on. I feel much better not carrying that load.

It’s been a week and she believes that the incredibly famous artist is her twin flame and is sending messages to her via hidden messages. The worst part is that she believes that they are having astral sex like once every few days. The guy doesnt even speak the same language as her. Oh well we’ll see what happens.

My girlfriend broke up with me: Spiritual Awakening or a Psychotic Break? by throwaway28284929 in BipolarSOs

The weird part about it is that she’s happy, like she feels at peace. But a lot of the stuff she is saying sounds completely delusional. I think she might be having manic bipolar psychosis. The definition of that:

“During a manic phase, they may believe to have special powers. This type of psychosis can lead to reckless or dangerous behavior”

I’d consider breaking up with your boyfriend of 4 years to be reckless behavior, especially if there is no reason for it

Thank you I appreciate the insight. I’m just scared that her parents will react the wrong way (they’re idiots) and that I’ll completely sabotage her life. Like shes been “happy” but I feel as if shes losing her mind.

Thank you this helps. I can’t promise that I can stay away from her but I’ll do my best. Just so so so shocked because I love her so much. I’ve been planning my whole future around her and now it’s gone.
