Hi, still me;
I take it you are bipolar yourself?
If so, you know how important it is to maintain your own mental health. To do so, you have to keep to your own routines.
This stress is effecting you. So, yes, the burden this family is placing on you could definately trigger you, especially going without sleep for hours on end. And you are identifying that you are feeling problems concentrating, getting that rapid feeling in your chest, starting to change what you're talking about mid sentence cause something else comes to mind and starting to get intense anger. Those all sound like classic symptoms of oncoming mania. Have you called your doctor yet?
You need to take care of yourself first. If not, you will be no good to this family or anyone else. You are not responsible for this grown woman. So, please learn to set your boundaries. Ask your doctor or therapist for help if you can't do it yourself. They are interested in your health, and will help you develop a plan.
Best of luck to you. Let us know how you're doing.
Shalom!
