Schizophrenia

My mother is in her 50s and I am struggling what to do with her. Our whole family is. When I was younger I thought it was normal but now I know that my mom has a problem. First my mom makes up stories. Very elborate ones.Such as celeberties calling her, that she knew before certain people died, and such and such. It became more apparent when it was an event I went through with her and she would highly exagerate later on. It is now to the point that you cant trust her.

With this she loses all jobs she gets because she is paranoid, every boss is out to get her. And every friend or family member she has bashed and then at some point she talks them up and how great they are.

Then is cant stop talking. When I was a kid I just put up with it but she makes no sense. She will have the most detailed conversations where she goes into what the other person said back to her and then she rambles on to another topic. To say anything while she is talking she gets upset, yet she just keeps going. So she doesnt have any friends and people stay away from her.


She also changes what you say and tries to convience you said things you didnt.

Also she believes she doesnt talk a lot and that she has no problems. She thinks its everyone else. She will be happy for awhile then it all sparks and changes over to like a jekl and hyde type.


My grandma has helped her out a lot and it is wearing on her. I moved out years ago and my sister just moved out so now she is completely alone. But we all have been so stressed by her but want the best for her.

She just got mentally evluated and apparently they said she doesnt have any disorder, she is just very aggressive and defensive. But I do believe it, i think they didnt see enough.


What I CAN Be done about her? I wish a bunch of experts could watch her and give opinions.

This week something snapped and with her and gone farther then it has. She had been asking for cigerette money from my sister and then expected that even though I helped her wwith a bill that because I didnt pay it all off even though I said I could only afford so much that then I should buy her some cigerrettes. So after that she told me I couldnt have my mail sent there and I had to pick it up. Which she called me at the middle of my work shift and I told her because I was working over time for awhile I wouldnt make it out there for a while (I just didnt want to deal with her drama ).. So she then ended up walking in windy cold weather to my apartment, probably 8 miles away to give me paper work and then ran off when I asked her why she is acting this way..


I am afraid she might do something she will regret, but I also think it might just be for attention. Maybe she is some type of drug? I know she used to long time ago. I really dont what can be done so that she is more rational.
