My girlfriend was a victim of workplace harrassment four years ago. To this day, she still swears that a network of secret agents is coaxing her friends and current coworkers to spy on her and "sabotage" her life.
Anything that goes wrong in her life now -- her car was hit-and-run while parked, she was let go from a bar tender's job, etc. -- is blamed on her boss from four years ago and his network of spies.
I told her that she is paranoid and needs to see a shrink; she agreed, but only when she finds "the right one." She barely drinks and does not use drugs. She did use some sort of tranquilizer in the past, but can't get them anymore.
On the days that she works (she is a peon in a Supermarket), she is sort of rational, but still insists that people are following her.
On her days off, she stays in bed all day, eats my food (she leaves the lids and covers off of all the food containers), chain smokes cigarettes and cries uncontrollably. She says that all her aspirations have been ruined by "these people" and wants to die, or "leave."
I remind her that I own a truck and can move her out the next day -- she gets even more depressed after that.
Yesterday, I said something funny to her and she laughed for a few minutes. Twenty minutes later, she was crying for no reason saying that she wanted to leave. Ten minutes after that she was yelling at me, "I don't know who you are dealing with behind my back! But I want to know! I also know that these people are finding you another girlfriend. I know that for a fact!"
She's been on her period for a few days, but I think this is sort of extreme.
What the hell is wrong with her? What should I do?
