Mom’s Mental Health
My mother has been suffering through Bipolar Depression for years without treatment and refuses to seek help. This past weekend she tried to commit suicide so I did what any daughter would do called 911(im the one who found her) and get her checked into a MHF. Unfortunately the one in our local area she seems to think this is where she was raped not sure if it happened or not. To my knowledge my mother has only been to this facility twice due to a mental breakdown but nothing like this. She lives alone and refuses to see any therapist or psychiatrist because she thinks all she needs is sleep. Due to her illness my younger brother and sister dont speak to her from the trauma/abuse she caused them as children. Aside from me and her bf whom she has become violent with in the recent days before her attempt are her only support. My grandparents dont want to help her until she can get treatment. She has constantly lied about taking her medication when she hasn’t seen a doctor in years. She goes days without sleeping due to hearing/seeing rats in the walls and floors(her phobia). Her entire apartment has blackout curtains due to thinking someone is watching her. Today she called me from the facility screaming at me about why did I call 911 and I did this to her on purpose. All I did was keep her alive my mom was barely breathing when I got to her house. If it wasn’t for me setting an alarm for the gym I would have never seen her text at 1:30am saying she was going to kill herself. This is causing me so much mental anguish while im already dealing with my own issues. I just don’t know what to do…..
