Please at least read and give some feedback if it is possible.
I can’t keep going on this way. I don’t know what to do or say to make my mom feel like or at least portray that she enjoys life. I am helpless this has been going on for months and keeps getting worse. I’ve asked her if there is anything I can do for her, she remarks I am fine. She says on a daily bases now how she’s done with life and is planning on taking her own. These last few nights I have spent pretty much the whole evening in the living room with her. Still today she mops around in a passive or angered or sad mood. Making small things that might go wrong like dropping a can she was going to pick up off the counter to her vapor thing not working. You’d really think it was the end of the world. She’s stopped talking to me or anyone else for that matter that I know of but this handy man that comes around the house. I have found free events so she can meet other people. My sister and I have encouraged her to date but she thinks she’s got nothing to offer and is ugly. Side note she’s had image issues since I can remember, even though she is beautiful doesn’t show her age at all and never has. People always think she is 10 years younger than she is. It has broken my heart to watch this and be helpless. I cry pretty much every night now. I am trying to pull myself out of it because I need to get my life back together. She takes everything to extreme. Like if you say no thank you to something she blows up saying she’s done or pretty much now it’s about everything. Like my sister left a baby bottle over at the house because we babysit him for two nights and she’s washing it and said something about it being here. I said mom think they will live, she comes back with she is going to yell at me. She remembers or recalls only thing negative about my sister and I and positive about the brother who passed away 5 years ago. Even things from her childhood she is go negative about it and I’ve heard her talk before and the stories were a lot different. There is a lot more I could go into but she just seem she bound and determined to hate life, hate her family and not want to be here. Even though she keeps buying things that aren’t really needed for the house, and then complains about being broke. She has Multiple sclerosis and when she was going through her divorce it has been over a year (we got one the same time) she didn’t have access to her medications. She has an amazing friend of her found a way to get it for her for free. She takes Avonex for her MS. However I found out that she hadn’t taken the medication since Feb of last year. I also found out she isn’t talking her antidepressants medication anymore as well. I have got her going to a chiropractor, but she says she isn’t going to go any more about every week. She is the strongest women I know even to this day. She’s been my best friend and my mommy since I can remember. I now feel like we have no connection at all, like I’m dead to her. I don’t know how to get her back, I go to bed almost every night wondering is the night the night she is going to take her life. I have to find a balance I moved in with her recently and need to find work myself. Please help or give me any kind of feedback. I have written her a heart filled letter concerning this but this was months ago way before it go this bad. I told her I missed my best friend and I am sorry if I have caused or did anything to her. That the family is all within 20 mins from each other and we live together and I feel more alone than I ever have. She did hug me and say thank you for the letter and that was it. I hope this is enough detail for someone for heaven’s sake her us out. Sorrowed Daughter |

Re: Losing any connection with my mom. And she seems to want to die.
I am so sorry you are dealing with this.
You know that your mother is ill. She isn't taking her anti-depressants and she's spiraled down into a deep depression. She needs intervention now. She said she is planning to take her own life. Call an ambulance and have her committed. You would do it if she were having a heart attack. Do it because she's planning to die. If you feel like you can't do that, please call the suicide prevention lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. |

Re: Losing any connection with my mom. And she seems to want to die.
Thank you Lucy and snafu for your input. I feel like reaching out to her old doctors should be my 1st stop before I call an intervention. I have been putting myself first, I have started mediation and also reminding myself it isn't my fault.
Thank you both! |
