so i usually don& #39;t overshare on here but i am in a really stressful living situation. i think my mom needs professional help, someone to treat her mental disorder. it& #39;s gotten really bad and i& #39;m afraid of losing her. there have been many instances where she& #39;s left the house

mentally unstable without telling me where she& #39;s going. she has manic episodes and i feel like ever since she& #39;s started taking college classes, they& #39;ve become more frequent. i am the only other "adult" in this house who can look after my younger brother and sister. so i am afraid

to send my mom away to seek mental help. but i am more afraid of losing her and i don& #39;t want to lose anyone else. i am a college student and life is already hard as it is. i just needed to get this out because i am at an all time low and i don& #39;t know what to do. i am sitting here

anxious of what to do next. i don& #39;t know where i can take my mom to get help. i still have to convince her to get help. i can& #39;t do anything if she refuses but i am so worried about her mental state and i am running out of options. i am stressed out about college assignments

already and there are so many deadlines i have to make, but my family comes first. i am scared that i can& #39;t do this. i am really scared. if you& #39;ve made it to the end of this thread thank you for reading and i love you.
