Without getting too into the details, my partner is having ssri induced mania after being on it for 2 months.

She suddenly started changing 2 weeks ago, after she did some weird things her and there over last month, and looking at our relationship in hindsight it makes sense that she may have bipolar 2.

The last 2 weeks have been very exhausting and frightening and eye opening.

In her manic state she slowly developed paranoia towards me and feeling of being unsafe even though I wasn't doing anything. Eventually what she was saying escalated and initially I didn't know what was going on, I just thought the relationship was over however it became very apparent she was manic over the last week and a half .

In the past she has frequently accused me of abuse at random points due to simple repeated mistakes or flaws that I was working on or stumbles/bumbles that I made, which eventually boiled in me as I assumed she was gaslighting me.... But that has escalated recently from her end and her past statements now make sense to me

Over the past week she has become a totally different unrecognizable person, very manipulative in nature, and erratic spending and putting on blast on social media about concerns in the relationship.

She has been twisting these concerns to make herself appear better but I've had multiple friends and family reach out to me in support of me saying they see something is off and believe she is indeed manic.

It's been very hard dealing with this as calling mobile crisis, she is highly intelligent and very good at masking her symptoms.

I genuinely think she feels good with the grandiosity she is feeling.

I've kind of lost all hope in the system, she doesn't believe the Zoloft is the cause of this, and the provider who is giving this Zoloft isn't a psychiatrist.... And definitely her therapist and whoever else she sees arent able to witness what people who have known her see. A mix of paranoia, grandiosity, with occasional but increasing aggressive/hostile behavior towards me at home is ongoing....

But I just don't see this ending anytime soon as she keeps taking the zoloft.

Just looking to see If anyone has had similar experiences. Im not even thinking long term about the relationship right now.... Just taking it day by day now In hope she gets insight soon.

Time will tell whether or not I will be on this sub for the foreseeable future.... But I'm proud of myself for doing the things Ive been attempting to do to get her help......
