So I just had my mom unlock the door of my bedroom, at 4 am, and get into my bed, saying that she's afraid. I've got no idea, and frankly it didn't help when she decided to assure me that she didn't have any uncouth intentions.

Well, I left for the kitchen because I don't know how to deal with that, but by now she's apologized and went back to her room.

Anyway, my sleep pattern is going to get out of whack, and I'm quite frankly too freaked out to go to bed, so I'm writing this.

I can kind of maybe understand, but I can't deal with that. About half a year ago my sister moved out together with her dog, and I guess it's become much lonelier at home. My cat is essentially mine alone and doesn't much care for my mom. Also somehow or other my mom's been going to various dentists for a while, and she increasingly claims that she got a good tooth removed against her will. And because of this in at least one disturbing episode she's told me that she wants to kill herself.

I can't deal with this. I'm a borderline autistic recluse with attachment problems, and I frequently deal with depression... Well, "deal" is a bold word.

I also have got no idea what I want from this thread. I guess I am now afraid and have to talk to someone.

mom needs psychiatric help

Are you a minor? I don't know much about laws where you are, but is there something like child protective services there? Going into your room while you are asleep, and getting into your bed is not appropriate, at all. Do you have someone at school, or a T or pdoc you could talk to about her behavior?

Oh, no, I'm not a minor, at all. I'll try to politely suggest that she go to a psychiatrist, though.

Could you ask your T or psych about it? They may be able to help with wording when you talk to your mom...

Well, I don't have a therapist, and I feel like that may have something to do with my country and/or financial situation... I probably should find a more local forum, but unfortunately I feel much more comfortable in English... Anyway, I went to the therapist for a while several years ago, and that could have been helpful, but I have increasing trouble leaving house.

But I'm kind of afraid of my mom now, and I had trouble having any kind of conversation in the morning, not to mention anything consequential. Also I'm so sleep-deprived, but I can't quite face going to bed tonight since I feel like my bed has kind of been defiled... I mean, it's kind of supposed to be a safe place, but apparently anyone can burst in in the middle of the night and claim it...

It really doesn't look like I can take on my mom's problems, too.
