from your description, she is/was having a pyschotic episode. there is not a whole lot you can do that will help her. In general they do not remember details of what happened during the episode very well, later when they are better.
she needs appropriate medication, which takes time to work.
people with manic delusions do not listen to reason, no matter what you say... any attempt to reason is wasted, in general...
it is tough to go thru this... been there & it is worse when it is someone you love
be supportive
