The majority of last night and today my partner has been alternating between bouts of heavy crying, internal epiphanies, and intense focusing/pondering/obsessing on her job.

While crying she will say numerous times that she is ok and everything is alright with her. The epiphanies seem to be primarily involving her new job and how the company will be instrumental in the shaping of the future, and grandiose realizations on human relationships and societies in general; although she is largely unable to communicate the details of these epiphanies. What I have been able to piece together is that she needs to sleep (although won’t let herself), is putting too much focus on maintaining her relationships and not taking care of herself, and feels unable to separate work-time and life-time. I believe all three of these points are entirely valid and important problems to address, but are individually no reason to question someone’s mental state - what is concerning is how all wrapped together, for these past 2 days, she exhibits possibly bipolar symptoms.

She and I both moved from the east to the west coast 2-3 years ago, so all of her close support network is on the other side of the country unable to help, and likely unaware of how she has been feeling/acting (I do not know how much communication she has had with her family/best friends these last few days, but traditionally she is very in-touch.)

I feel entirely unable to help her right now because of how little information I am getting from her, and I am honestly terrified of how she appears to be feeling and acting. Please, help me figure out how to help her the best I can.
