Once crazy always crazy?

Does shit like that run in the family?

Partly yes.

Does it more than likely mean that even if she's trying to change it (which she says she's trying to) that it's even possible for her to change?

She can improve. Mental issues never fully go away.

Or is it true, once crazy always crazy?

Anxiety isn't really crazy. Try BPD if you really want to experience crazy ..

She can manage it, but it will never really go away. Ever see A Beautiful Mind? Even decades after Nash realizes he's crazy and starts trying to work on it, he's still crazy.

Or is it true, once crazy always crazy?

Crazy is like an avalanche. It only gets larger and more destructive with the passage of time. The best plan is to get out of the way well before it hits.

No paychologist but generally I'd say yes because:

She grew up with it. It might be normal learned behaviour for her. She might not even see her 'condition' as a problem. Just the way adults behave
As she gets older she likely had multiple partners who tolerated and excused her behaviour. So naturally you should put up with it too (and she'll try to shame you to that level, lots of tears and drama. She'll milk it)

Anxiety not a huge issue. Thrillseeking is a far bigger red flag
