My Sister is Bipolar among other things
My older sister who is an adult now decided to go off her medication because it was holding back her creativity. However, this choice caused her to spiral into deep mania when she decided to leave home and be a free spirit living out of her car all the way in New Hampshere. In full mania, she becomes dellussional. She is currently in mania but I can’t do anything, nor can my parents because she is an adult with a lot of mental health problems including border line personality disorder and being autistic. She is 31 years old and Wants none of us to worry about her saying she wants to be an adult, but all we are seeing is her acting like a little kid. My sister does not even comprehend the concept of family because she has a twisted movie in her head that we were neglected as a children. The constant switch of emotions is up and down, in and out with her. One breath she is all calm, sweet, and loving then she is the venomous, angry, skittish cat swiping and hissing you. The border line personality disorder does not help. It increases the emotions to where she attacks the closest person to her which is mom. She literally shreds mom apart with her words then cries cuddling up to her the next.

This sounds like a really hard time for you and your family. Seeing a loved one not only put themselves in danger but also take out their negative emotions on you all must be really hard. And the cycling between her emotions sounds really exhausting.
I've only recently been diagnosed with bipolar but my advice (if you're looking for it) is to get in contact with her care team to let them know what's happening. Hearing the reality of the situation from professionals will hopefully help. Either way, this manic phase will die down eventually and when it does it will be a very hard crash. So keep an eye out. I hope things even out with your sister.
