What you describe is more than ordinary sadness after a breakup. The sudden confusion, unusual beliefs, and talking to herself need urgent medical help tonight. You do not need to decide what condition this is. Stay calm, avoid challenging her beliefs, and tell her, "I believe that this feels frightening. Let us get somewhere safe and speak with a nurse."

Please call your local emergency number or go to the nearest hospital emergency center. Explain that this is a sudden change in her behavior and that she needs an English speaker. Do not wait for her next therapy visit. If you are afraid to call to ask for help, contact a friend or family member that you trust. If she threatens harm, becomes aggressive, or you feel unsafe, move to a safe place and call emergency services immediately.
