so i usually don'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's gotten really bad and i'm afraid of losing her. there have been many instances where she's left the house

mentally unstable without telling me where she's going. she has manic episodes and i feel like ever since she's started taking college classes, they'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'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't know what to do. i am sitting here

anxious of what to do next. i don't know where i can take my mom to get help. i still have to convince her to get help. i can'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't do this. i am really scared. if you've made it to the end of this thread thank you for reading and i love you.
