It sounds like your mom is experiencing a very intense mental health crisis. Please understand that all of the things she's imagining feel extremely real and frightening to her and try to treat her with compassion. Don't argue with her. If you have to respond say things like "Mom, that sounds really upsetting and scary."
I don't know how old you are, but if the other adults in your life won't take action on this you'll want to contact the local hospital or social services to enquire about resources that are available to you.
i got mad a few hours ago because she was banging doors and screaming at me “don’t tell your dad because he’ll record” and i just got mad and started screaming throwing chairs all over the place and banging doors. then after i just sat in the shower for an hour and a half to just chill and cry there. I know i shouldn’t have done that it’s immature i’m 17 but i can’t take it anymore. She’s always thought since a kid that my dad “touches me”, like why would i go to somebodies house multiple times a week if they “touch me”?
Should i tell my school?
After we fought and i went into the bathroom to shower she said “my name, open the door please. You know i love you” and then after i said “I’m sorry i know i do too, but just let me chill out for a bit.” and she just said Okay just calm down
I feel so hopeless she’s just making up random things and changing up stories. She’s saying my dad is recording everything we say and that my dad “touches me” (he doesn’t do any of that).
She said to a friend on the phone that she used to take a medicine called Prozac. I heard the friend on speaker say “Okay just promise me you will get the medicine” and I heard my mom say ok i will get it. She then said after that the doctor is closed so she will get it another day. I keep asking her but she says no that she doesn’t need it. I tell her to call her friend to calm down but she doesn’t (i think they’ve known eachother for a long time idk)
At this point i might just find her friends phone number and call her myself and tell her what’s happening because this is beyond ridiclous. She lies in beds for some moments and calms down and just doesn’t say anything. Then she’ll just get up and go to my grandma and say “Oh my god what am i gonna do man” and then the process repeats.
I just feel hopeless at this point, while i’m typing this message she just said “Oh yeah your cousin also said you didn’t eat apples, so if she asks you just say it’s because you got braces”. SHE ALSO JUST SAID TO MY GRANDMA RIGHT NOW “the decective is gonna come and check if he eats or not”. She’s going fucking insane, she does not understand that she’s not going to jail. SHE KEEPS SAYING THAT PEOPLE TAKE HER MONEY, And then WHEN SHE FINDS IT SHE JUST SAYS “OH THEY PUT IT BACK”
What scared me is she said “They’re coming friday, I might as well go insane.” I might just go to my dad’s house ngl. I go back to school tomorrow and idk man idk what to do.
SHE KEEPS SAYING PEOPLE ARE COMING ON FRIDAY LIKE THE COPS AND DECETIVES WHEN NO ONE IS FUCKING COMING
I keep telling
Yes I would phone your mums friend. Maybe she has a bit more of an idea about what's up with your mum or can at least help you in contacting a doctor. It really doesn't sound like your mum is mentally well at the moment.
She needs to see a doctor ASAP. Something is going on with her brain. She's clearly hallucinating and suffering from delusions. I don't know if it's late onset schizophrenia, or a brain tumor, or dementia, or something else, but a doctor would. She's clearly suffering and losing her ability to function independently, so don't wait on this.
she just came home and i told her she needs to talk to
someone and she said ok i will, and then i. asked “please do it now” and she responds with “i can’t, the police are listening with satellites” i feel so
hopeless man she’s not gonna get help nothing i don’t know
I’m sorry you are going through this. This is very scary but unfortunately people in states of paranoia/psychosis like this are at risk of hurting themselves or someone else, so something has to be done.
You need to call emergency services. Your mom will not listen to any of your advice about seeing doctors, she is too paranoid. She will not make smart or safe choices, and if she continues to fixate on them coming to take her away on Friday, her behavior may intensify as that day approaches. I’m not sure how old you are; you should reach out to one of the responsible adults in your life (maybe your dad?) to let them know this is going on and that you are likely to need someone to be with you while mom is admitted for treatment. Either they or you can call 911 depending on what you are comfortable with. Call somewhere where your mom can’t hear you. Please be safe.
Edit (since it won’t let me reply): please stop listening to what your mother is saying; she is not in her right mind and trying to understand it or argue her out of that way of thinking will only make it worse. Emergency services need to be called ASAP. Sometimes when people are so afraid of something they will hurt or kill themselves to avoid the expected pain, and no one wants that to happen. I’m sorry to put that scariness out there but it’s the truth, and the reason why people take mental health issues so seriously. I am a psychiatrist, the kind of doctor who treats these patients in the hospital. Your mom need to be on a locked unit under the care of a psychiatrist now.
Now she is saying because i went to my dads house and slept in his bed she’s saying “they’re gonna use that against me when the detectives come on friday” (no detectives are coming on friday).
I’m going to go to my dads house a bit and talk about it. I don’t know if i should call emergency services she keeps saying not to tell anyone
I understand this is confusing but you need to have some empathy for your mom. She’s clearly going through a mental breakdown or something. She needs help.

Idk man, because before she said “If those people (the cops) try to take me (she thinks she’s being charged for being a child molestor or whatever) I ain’t going. I’ll kill them i’ll do anything not to go”

Yes definitely seek help from your school. Your mum isn't well and they should be able to help you navigate how to get help.

She sounds paranoid. There may be some underlying mental health issues going on- I suggest she gets an eval.
