Hello, I’m 24 years old. I have lived with my mother for my entire life. My mother is schizophrenic and has had constant suicide attempts since I was younger. There are constant delusions she has. She builds shrines, talks about her parents being fake robots, talks about black magic being done to her, cuts herself, etc

I don’t want to leave her all alone but this has been going on my entire life and I’ve reached a breaking point to where it’s either me or her. Every single month it’s like she finds new ways to hurt herself.

This month she put a tight string around both of her toes which almost caused a doctor to have to amputate her toes because it got really bad and infected. I had to sit in the emergency room with her for 8 hours but I guess it’s a normal thing in my life now. Other times she drinks bleach. The delusions inside her head are extreme. Also she has been taking her medication. She goes to MHMRA.

I want to leave and I don’t want to leave her alone by herself cause she’s most likely going to end her life or hurt herself seriously. She doesn’t listen to a word I say anyway.

Can anyone take her or assist her with living?
