Thread 82501766

I am incredibly mentally unstable and need to be kept in a mental institution but I have no option but to pretend to be neurologically healthy as I have to take care of my mom by sending her $3,000 a month.

Any advice? She's a mentally ill schizophrenic and would be homeless without my help

i always wonder if i went ot one of these mental places and was completely honest what would happen. I myself most likely would be chucked in when i think about it.

In terms of advice, i reccomend if possible going to one and lying to an extent, do some research to see how low you can go wihtout getting chucked in. Then you will get high level help, without being locked in so you can work and still get some help.

Since none of us really know you, I don't think that anyone here is going to give you any advice that matters. I think you should ask this to someone in real life, being honest.

I spent a shitload of time trying to be there for my mom because I felt the whole World had it out for her. I wanted to be her ally no matter what. All I got in return was abuse and insults. I didn't even realize until she completely broke me.
Don't be like me anon. You need softness, space and freedom in your life, you need to be loved. Every day you spend chained to an abuser of any kind, every time you feel your life drained away in a single interaction, you corrupt your insides more.
If your mom loves you and you love her, and you don't mind the 3k, then stay. But if she's as mean to you as mine was to me, please distance yourself. Especially if you notice that it immediately feels better to be alive.
