Sorry, but I’m about to go full stream of consciousness here. Reader beware.
She’s in a full mental health decline and crisis that’s she’s obviously self medicating for while being enabled by the people around her. The enabling validates her new ‘normal’ mental state which only makes matters worse.
She does need help but isn’t going to get it.
The fact that she has any say in how the US government works, is beyond frightening. She’d have been let go from pretty much any regular job by now due to her condition which probably would have pushed her to get the help she needed.
This is my Holiday Inn expertise of course and personal journey through broken brainism. One thing for those of you who never dealt with mood disorders that’s hard to explain is just how much you can start to question your own reality.
Once out of the shit and looking back, it’s really scary how much you can become unmoored. Unmoored is the best way for me to describe it because I questioned all kinds of things that used to be a given. Relationships, my own worth, and what made me truly happy, etc. You’re incredibly vulnerable. I did gain some true incite, however. That’s at least one good thing. But there’s far more healthy ways to gain the incite I did. So I do not recommend.
Without therapy and medication, your vulnerable state can lead you to some dark corners. It’s like your own brain is going through an AI hallucination. Maybe that’s the closest biological analog to when ChatGPT is going off.
So imagine, being this vulnerable, this ‘plastic’, and now you have people around you validating your ‘new realizations’ or confirming that what you thought was your reality before your current state was a lie, etc.
Thats where she is at IMO. That’s why her marriage failed. It’s not accident this is happening also at middle age / around menopause. Add those stressors and hormonal changes too and you’ve got yourself one crazy (sorry) cocktail of mental crisis here.
