Thanks to everyone who replied to my last post- this is an update to whats going on and little more information into this issue- first off, I am safe- I am about 10 hours away from where she is, ive contacted her 2nd- family b/c the are my 2nd family, my non-blood relatives you could call it. And 3rd thing, theres more then just her in this 'delusion', I have spoken to a guy that she says speaks this new language and heard them talking back and forth while I was on the phone with him trying to tell me that it didnt take drugs to 'free him' it was meditation plus she she's advised me that there are more then just the two of them who speak it and are involved. I'm thinking possible cult involvement and drug induced schizophrenia??? Does that sound possible- I got a call yesterday from her mom, she was visiting and staying at her mom's house and that while her mom was working the night er shift that she gave a mutual friend of ours 11 triple c, aka coricieden pills in order to 'free her'' on fri night- and could have killed her, our mutual friend took these pills 'trying to understand' what our friend is going through, part of me wants to just turn and walk away- but I can't not yet at least. Im currently not in danger myself, her mom and I have talked about therapists but dont feel at this point she will do it willingly, her mom even called the cops and tried to get her taken on a 51/50 but they wouldnt and said they didnt think she was a threat to herself or anyone else. Ive talked to 'my friend' this morning about what she did and that she couldnt have killed our other friend and she didnt really say anything- she wasnt sad, angry, or anything. I asked her if she did it to 'free her' and she said yes- I asked her if she planned on giving all the people she tries to 'free' these drugs and possibly kill them in the process and her only response was 'she doesnt know any other way, but she's looking for another way', anyone know haw you help the unwilling?

If she is really a good friend, you need to help her, not run away from her. Psychiatrists are not the correct people for this kind of job. It is a psychological issue not a disease treated with meds. Meds job is to minimize the functions of the brain which mask the problem, not a solution and can damage the brain. What you want to do is to go down to the root of the problem that is proving demons doesn't exist in this life. It's only in the movies. That's it. Let her talk to a priest if she does not want to see a therapist. If she is religious, try exorcism for now that can satisfy her.
