My mother has has schizophrenia for all 23 years of my life. She is my biggest motivator and my strongest pain. It hurts so much to have her in my life because all i want to do is help her anyway possible but at this point i feel hopeless. She was on her meds for a long period of time but she ran away to another state and was found months later after my sister filed a missing person report. The doctor said she would never be the same again…
She currently is living in a assisted living facility and is not only unhappy but I see her becoming unhealthy and I hate seeing her like she is but I am the youngest child and am a full time student trying to hit financial freedom as soon as possible so i could throw money at whoever can help her. It kills me inside and causes me deep depression whenever I pick her up, but i cant just not pick her up. I’m all she has…
I don’t know if there is even an answer to this, but i’m sick of hurting over this and am desperate for help from someone who’s experienced this. Is there a treatment that has helped transition people with this illness back into the world. I pray that one day she would be able to maintain a job, and be self-dependent. I truly love her more than anything in the world and for that reason I hurt a lot.
