My sister is bi-polar and so is one of my very dear friends. Your friend's symptoms sound very familiar. Bi-polar disorder (manic-depressive illness), is a brain disorder that causes unusual shifts in a person's mood, energy, and ability to function. Left untreated, this disorder can result in damaged relationships, poor job or school performance, and even suicide. "Manic-depression is biological in origin, but the person experiences it psychologically." Symptoms can include both episodes of mania and depression.

Manic episodes may include:
Increased energy, activity, and restlessness
Excessively "high," overly good, euphoric mood
Extreme irritability
Racing thoughts and talking very fast, jumping from one idea to another
Unrealistic beliefs in one's abilities and powers
Increased sexual drive
Provocative, intrusive, or aggressive behavior
Denial that anything is wrong

Depression symptoms may include:
Lasting sad, anxious, or empty mood
Loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed, including sex
Decreased energy, a feeling of fatigue or of being "slowed down"
Sleeping too much, or can't sleep
Change in appetite and/or unintended weight loss or gain
Chronic pain or other persistent bodily symptoms that are not caused by physical
Thoughts of death or suicide, or suicide attempts

Sometimes, severe episodes of mania or depression include psychosis, like hallucinations (hearing, seeing, or otherwise sensing the presence of things not actually there) and delusions (false, strongly held beliefs not influenced by logical reasoning or explained by a person's usual cultural concepts). Delusions of grandiosity, such as believing one is the President or has special powers or wealth, may occur during mania; delusions of guilt or worthlessness, such as believing that one is ruined and penniless or has committed some terrible crime, may appear during depression.

This disorder is sometimes confused with schizophrenia, which can be marked by hallucinations, and/or delusions (false yet strongly held personal beliefs that result from an inability to separate real from unreal experiences). Schizophrenia may also cause social isolation or withdrawal, or unusual speech, thinking, or behavior.

The fact that you are concerned about severe behavior changes indicate a need for you to try and get her to accept medical attention soon!

I'd stay away from this person if that is possible. Either she has a mental problem or is desperate for attention. Either way, she needs help from a professional. She is definitely not a good person to have in your life.

Sounds like a condition known as delusional, or even more complicated than that.

Somebody is unhappy with her life, and so she makes up an "interesting" life. It is usually smart to keep your distance from people like that before they put you in their crosshairs.
