Italian Pipes - Shes Lost Her Dam Mind!!?

Shes Lost Her Dam Mind!!?

my slightly ocd 28y/o gf of 8 years and on reciently to a short vacation to the cayman islands. it went great except one night we both a lot to drink at the bar near hotel. after we left the bar we went for a walk on the beach. the water was warm and calm so i went for a dip. she sat on a beach chair about 10ft away. i asked her to join me but she got moody and refused. after a while i came of to see what her problem was. then some guy aproached trying to sell weed. i told him i had no cash or anything to smoke out of. i could tell she was afraid of him - bad vibe whatever- so he left to get liter pipe and we went to leave to go get cash - but we had no intention of returning. She started walking quickly twoards the lobby (150yds away down the beach access path) i told her id be right there cuz i was looking for my sand colored sandles in the sand. took about minute then i strolled back to the hotel. security/bell hop opened the door for me (late door locked) she was waiting in the lobby because i had the room key and i showed up about 4 minutes after she did. the vacation continued on - no drama. -------- we get home on a wednesday..on cloud 9, taned, relaxed, in great moods. then sunday she started freanking out. talking bout how long did it take me to get back to the hotel that night? was it 45 minutes? talkn bout she think somthing may have happened to her on the way back. talkn bout she thinks she got raped!! i'm like what!!? no way that happened. we did a friggn photo shoot in that beach access next day with cocnuts n shit. the friggn police wold have been called.. and i would have been on a manhunt to cut somones throat. didn't happen bottom line. like she imagined the worse case sceaniro and somehow now believes it. Meds background - bout 3 weeks before vacay - her dog of 16years had to be put down, so a doctor had her on lexipro so she'd been seeming a little off lately. she doesnt travel much- infact i told her bout 2 months ago to get a passport. her parents are ole school italians and shes an only child. a very sheltered one at that. she's like emotionally 15, but i've been trying to broaden her horizons. her and her mother show up at my house unannounced tuesday asking my why i left her and for how long - like she was actually believing this crazy story. she spoke with a psychologist yesterday and they said they doubt it happened so now she knows it didn't happen. but it like she still does at the same time, because she bailed out of work early today for std testing. I mean im obviously done with her - theres no way i can be associated with someone that sick. i mean what if one day she decides to remember me trying to kill her or somthing and then i end up in jail or dead for self defense!? o if one we decided to have kids ..i dont want to pass on mental health probs to them. call me selfish idk, but anyway i guess i want to understand how this could have happened? any dr.s or almost dr.s out there have any thoughts on this? ^^^we didnt live together..^^^(correction) no mixing lexapro- except with alcohol. emotionally 15 but she not a simpleton she has her masters in lib.arts and works at a college in financial aid/scholarships. and yea after 8 years i probably need therapy..but i do take the mmpi/drug testing regularly for work (nuke industry) yeah 8 sounds like a lot, but we didnt like together and we were both in school and working a lot to get in a good position to be wealthy, we didnt want to do the struggling starter married couple( actually i didnt, mostly for piece of mind but probably to avoid critizism from her family that i now know would be up our azz 24/7) she lived with parents all through college moved out @ 26; dad bought her condo. and is the maint guy at the complex as a result, did i mention the parents are ole school..helecopter parents.. also i noticed on vacay she couldn't go a day w/o calling them. her parents are on the rocks too, her mom moved in w/ her 3mos. ago. they were never actually married, think she found that out at 8.

sorry no i'm not a doctor~but you may wanna seek 1 for yourself too~she has been your GF for 8 yrs????? Well it sounds like you have some serious issues yourself~she & you both need some in depth therapy~Try your local mental health center in your area♦
Dump the weirdo. She has a mental age of 15 you say and is delusional according to what you posted. Get as far away from her as you can, but make sure you have a witness that can swear she was alive and well after you ran away from her.
Some antidepressants/anti-anxiety meds can cause "confusion" but, to this extent is strange. Did she tell the psychiatrist that she had been prescribed Lexapro? Did she by chance mix any others drugs (prescribed, over-the-counter, or recreational) with the Lexapro? I can understand your concern with dealing with this off the wall behavior... and it's better for her (and you) that you are honest in the fact that you don't have it in you to deal with this long term. I would suggest that you speak with her mom about mentioning the Lexapro side effect with a physician... Best wishes!
idk dude... you've been with her for 8 years and you don't want to help her?...
i beleve lexepro can cause delusions but im not sure - keRacer
Have you considered post traumatic stress disorder, it's possible the girl had a flashback of an earlier incident that she had repressed. Sometimes a strangers face, or being alone in an unfamiliar place can trigger the memory of the event or parts of the event. Someitmes it comes back slowly like pieces of a puzzle, one flashback after another. It can also lead to dissociation If she needed lexapro (GAD, SAD, Antidep and/or panic) to calm down about the dog; well, such an incident can often precede the beginnings of t memories and/or flashbacks of the event. It's a process, and you must try to believe that what she says is real and true in her mind. Remember that the memories come in fragments and she is doing her best to complete a picture, and it will come together in time. The truth always has a way of surfacing. If you don't want her, leave her alone during her recovery, it won't be quick if it's repressed evnts.. She's not crazy but you both have some issues to deal with, like most couples.
