My cousin sis was diagnosed with schizophrenia and she has been treated for 3 years. We all are really close. Recently she had a manic episode and she tried to commit suicide. At this point I should mention that her parents are separated. So my mum brings my aunt and my sis to our house. I love my sister to death but I can't take it anymore. I just got a degree in psychology and everyone expects me to take care of her and be with her during these episodes. I am Totally fine with it. But her mother is so careless. While she is having a depressive episode her mum sits and plays candy crush on her iPad. While my sis cries over my shoulder. Her mom and dad bickered in the past and are not in talking terms with each other. But her dad who had his experiences on his own disoriented mental health talks soothingly and supportively. I gave up my room for them to stay. While me and my mum sleeps on the couch. I am preparing for this really tough exam and it requires an organised and disciplined approach of learning. As expected my routine has come to a halt. Moreover my dad is going through physical health problems of his on. In the middle of all this I feel like I am losing my mind. I don't want to hurt anyone or be rude. I don't know. I just know I don't like what's happening ðŸ˜

All I can say is that your cousin needs and your dad need you at the moment. Spend time with both. Try to get her to speak about things. Anything. Make sure your dad doesnt miss his meds. I think the cousin's parents wont stay forever and will def leave your place someday. Try Managing ur time b/w cousin , dad and exam. Thats it. Good luck ^ω^
ReplyYou can overcome this situation...though time or environment isn't helping you at all, u have to divide your time, spend the free time for your study...at some point i feel like, you are giving to much, but family is important...u explain them honestly...don't show others that you are too easy as a substitute, so explain them and ask them to help you too through this situation before you mentally become exhausted...though we expect, but seriously people don't understand us until we speak things. You are suffering too mentally. So be by her side and help her but give yourself time too....u can overcome this.
