Over three years ago, one of my siblings experienced a stress related pyscotic break. It is the closest thing, to a living nightmare. I've ever seen. To say, its horrible is an absolute under statement. To see someone you know and love go through this, is heart breaking. The person, I knew and loved , The person I grew up with and made memories with is gone. This new person is not anyone I know. I don't think I can put into words how terrible its been or everything we have been through. Since it happened, she has become hyper religious. She seems to think the Lord is talking directly to her. She gave away her life savings (probably about 100K) She has turned against her family. She has new "friends" and treats us like garbage. She lies and dissapears for hours, She believes she is supposed to be a preacher, and acts like she knows more about the Bible than anyone else.She confronts sinner (by herself) which is very scary. she has gotten kicked out of several business . She will not talk about anything but religion. If you try to change the subject she , thinks she will be punished. She thinks its wrong to do anything if its not religious. Its wrong to have a personal opinion and its certainly wrong to express your own option. Its wrong to enjoy anything. And everything is a sin. She worries about her salvation, and seems to think she must do things to prove to earn or keep her salvation. She has always been a Christian.
Our family has always been very close. All we ever had, was each other. Her mom and had a very special bond. They were best friends and she trusted our mom more than anyone else. Now she wont answer our calls or text (even when its an
emgerency.) She told people , that she doesn't like us, Shes called mom a liar and said very cruel things.
One of hardest things about all of this, is how she has hurt and broken our mothers heart.
I've tried to talk to other christians about this and they just don't understand.
We pray, that the Lord will heal her, but it never happens. This tearing our family apart.
There a lot more that has happened , that I have not included. Im so tired, we all are tired.
She has no joy in life,She doesn't laugh or joke anymore. She had two heart attacks last year. (I truly believe, its because she constantly worried about her salvation)

Im sorry for all the mistake in my writing.I was trying my best to describe what we have been dealing.
I know, no one will understand. I guess its something you cant truly understand, unless you lived it.
Please pray, that Lord will heal her

I've been there. My condolences.

Sometimes, if they refuse to be reached, the only thing left to do is cut and run. That can hurt more than continuing to try to reach them, but sometimes you have to do it to save yourself from being dragged down with them.

Mind you, I'm not saying you SHOULD cut and run. That's your decision to make, whether it is time to leave or not. Just keep in mind that it is an option, something you should consider before you are destroyed too.

There is no shame in cut and run. It's not a matter of deciding to stop caring about them. It's a matter of realizing you cannot do anything to help them, and cutting off the damage to your own self.

On the bright side, I have seen people like that get better. As long as there is life, there is hope. It may take 20 years (I've seen it take somewhere around that long) but there is still hope.
 
What happened, was she Bible Bashed?

Some people get psychotic breaks after they have experienced concussion, so you might want to get her to see a doctor about that. Could be a skull fracture. I am serious.

she was under extreme stress at work. Her coworkers didnt like her and were extremely cruel to her. She tried very hard , to be good to them but all they did, was make things as hard as they could, for her

mm mental stress can do that, but sometimes physical stress is also a symptom. Did she have headaches or migraines a lot. Was she weak? In some jobs, they don't tolerate weakness.

Why do you think her co-workers didn't like her. Did she look or act different to them. Or were they mean/bullies for no reason? Sometimes when you go to a new workplace, the people already working there act territorial and will bully the newcomer.

I could write a book on this from experiences in my own family growing up and more recently.
I know how you feel to have a mentally ill family member that causes division. A half bother is a dangerous psychopath.

I will pray for your family mrlonelee.
You might need a blessing right now .
 
Does he know Jesus? I mean does she really know Jesus and is filled with the Spirit of truth?

You are obviously unaware of what a psychotic break can do to a person.
This did not happen as punishment for something. She was a good person, not perfect but no e of us are
She didn't drink , smoke or use drugs, she didn't party or sleep around. She done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to deserve this.

It could be spiritual vs physical; demonic, and yes it can happen to Christians too. I've been attacked before.
