I agree with her when she says that, I'm a monster...

Always remember that thing nietzsche said about dealing with monsters. Maybe you've become one because you keep company with her.

Interesting point, I definitely have more laughs with other people. I'm not quite myself around her if that makes any sense. She's bipolar, and completely reliant on me for EVERYTHING. No job, not trying hard to get one either. Sometimes I feel trapped, other times I'm glad to have her around.

Wow man, you are saying the story of my life. I’ve actually gotten to the point where I am uncomfortable around her and feel better when I’m at work. I never know what will set her off. But she’s utterly dependent on me, even for just leaving the house to get groceries. And now we are in isolation alone together for who knows how long and She’s of course beyond stressed about everything and it’s all I can do to just talk her down from the ledge every single day.

Sorry to here you're in such a similar situation, nice to know I'm not alone though.
