I could really use some support. So, a while back, I posted about how concerned I was about my mom. She would be acting fine, and then all of a sudden she would go off and start screaming, attacking me. Well, she's been fine for months, and then she went right back to screaming today. I just don't understand it. I've tried to reach out to some local orgs. for help. No one wants to do anything since she acts fine most of the time. I'm her full time caretaker, and I'm all alone. I don't have any support from anyone.

What do I do? She is only in her 50s. She doesn't qualify for any help. I'm really worried that she is showing signs of dementia. Is it too early for that given her age? How do I handle this? She's been screaming all day how she wishes I was dead, and how much she hates me. Some of the things she says don't make any sense. She is talking to herself. I've sacrificed so much of my life to take care of her that I just don't know what to do at this point.
