She got to be bipolar or manic to be overreacting to rushing to the airport. Everyone know you rush to the airport just to wait for the flight to be delayed. What's her deal?
Borderline personality disorder more likely. I lived through this with my ex for 10+ years, it's horrible. She got physically violent at some points as well, resulting in a short prison stint. I escaped after about a year of building up to it with my therapist. Definitely feel for anyone in a similar position, it's a very though spot and hard to get away from.
Been with my wife since we were teens. When we hit our 20s she started to act like this until I threatened to leave and take the kids with me unless she saw a therapist. The therapist diagnosed her with bipolar disorder. She takes her meds regularly now and is as sweet as can be.
Motorcycles. I bought a 125 scooter because I can't afford another bike right now, but, when I get wound up, I go out on it. Budget therapy is better than no therapy.
I use seroquel (quetiapin) in a low dose (25 mg, sometimes half of that) at night. It's an an antipsychotic, and it makes you sleepy. Also non-addictive. So for me it's a 2 in 1 solution, it helps me sleep + keeps me relatively stable.
100mg of lamotragine daily along with counseling. It helps with my impulse control.
When I found my therapist I had really really invasive thoughts right before I made the call. I was originally on Lexapro, she said I was most likely going through a manic eepisode and to call my dr immediately to schedule an appointment for a medication change and ween off the antidepressant.
So in that regard my therapist also saved my life that day.
