[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could be bipolar mania.  I have a family member with bipolar and his manic episodes have begun with out of control texting (crazy stuff) with delusional ideas.  But he was sending 100s of texts, not just 10.  [/quote]

Same. Had a former boss like this when I was in my 20s. We later found out that she went off her meds and was drinking heavily, but all we observed was some crazy stuff similar to OP’s experience, including really strange voicemails on our work lines.

Fortunately I worked for a very old school Fortune 500
Company at the time and they had the kind of HR that doesn’t exist anymore. They listened to our young team’s concerns, intervened carefully, paid for her to go to treatment, and preserved her job.

I don’t think that would happen in this times, which is sad. [/quote]

Agree 100 percent. My family member had two lengthy stays in psychiatric hospitals, but was finally able to get correct medication. With family support, he was able to complete college degree and now has first professional job.  It’s been hell for him and his family.

I cannot imagine how people without a support system survive. Just navigating insurance, doctor appointments, prescriptions, referrals has been a nightmare.  There is no way a mentally ill person could do on his own.

It sounds like OP says her friend has a history, so hopefully she can get a quick intervention by family and medical team. [/quote]
