hi..this is challenging..probably she is suffering from personality disorder..also may be recurrent depressive disorder..get help from a psychiatrist for medication which should be kept out of her reach..close observation is needed..also proper counseling is required by a clinical psychologist to remediate her impulsivity..she is in particular risk because of her family history..so the sooner, the better..wish her good health
