Sounds like a schizophrenic or psychotic episode but it's impossible to diagnose over yikyak

We can’t diagnose anyone cause we’re not professionals, but I have a good bit of knowledge of on mental health stuff so I can try to suggest what it *MIGHT* could be if I had to guess. I just need more context. Cause acting irrational and toxic doesn’t mean she has a mentally illness. She might just be a bad person😵‍💫

Like is she having delusions or hallucinations? Does she experience any kind of depression or low moods? How common is this for her?

When I was a kid she would have an episode trashing the house then pouring oil everywhere. Then she would start praying. She wouldn’t hear what you say then run outside naked which we had to call the cops

Every couple of year this will happen something stressful will happen. She hasn’t left the house in a month ( she doesn’t work) . Yeah she doesn’t talk to anyone and is quite isolated. She started seeing sign she would come into my room often ask the same questions. She will start block all entrances to the the house, cover all the window, more Bible pictures everywhere, light on 24/7 with her walking up and down, then she will start moving furniture,breaking things down and lastly screaming

I agree with #2. That’s what it sounds like, but we can’t know for sure.

While pouring water, she was supposed to be looking for a job and fixing up the apartment, as we need the extra income or we will lose the house. Today, I tried to interact with her since she was banging a broom against the wall, and I’ve been having trouble sleeping. When I attempted to pick up her phone, she grabbed it and then pushed me away.

When she isolated herself, does she seem depressed? I know certain disorders can come with psychotic features (like Bipolar Disorder). These things show up differently in everyone though and I might be wrong about all of this. Though there is definitely something concerning going on with her. I hope she is able to find affordable help eventually:/
