Yesterday is the worst day of my life
Friday December 27th, 2024
I apologize for the heavy shit
but I'm a 34 years old self isolated gaming addict useless fuck
that had no real friends in a long time, this here is the most community I'm "active" in
that his mother feeds him
and now my worst fear came true
she died, strangled to death
and the prime suspect is our 31 years old civil engineer bipolar sister
who has been in a mania episode for almost 2 months

now me and my younger brother who is a 21 years old college student also a self isolated gaming addict useless fuck
have to scramble with what little money we inherited from our goddamn father to arrange our living
in a fucked up economy .. in 15 years 1usd from 6 Egyptian bounds to 51 .. and all over the internet they expect it to get worse hitting 80 or even a 100

for years now I have always feared the day my mom die
but I never anticipated that one of us (me, my bro or sis) will get hit with mental illness
I always suspected -me and my bro- that we may have some kind of autism or whatever but never cared to check or maybe too lazy to do so
My mother and her younger brother have a history of mental illness
but never this kind of mania .. of violence .. at least my mother was like depressing episodes for her and crazy fear for her "helpless kids"
But this shit to hit our sister (she had her first episode in the Summer of 2023)..
in all 3 of us she is the successful one, who managed to finish her engineering faculty, and found work about a year after graduation
even when she lost her job thanks to her first episode, she managed to find and work from home online and in her engineering expertise
I always has been at odds with my sister thanks to our goddamn father, but I always knew she got our back ..

7 days ago she convinced my mom to take her outside, and as usual she ran from her .. this was the third time
but the first 2 times she would come back on her own after a night or two
this time she was out for 4 nights and on 5th morning (Dec 26) one of my mother's older sisters called her telling that my sister has spent those 4 nights at her place
My mom owns an apartment that she sometimes rent to female college students to help with income, which is currently not rented
I don't know why my mom decided to take her to that apartment, but apparently they spent the night in it
mom was almost 62, and she knew she couldn't handle sister on her own .. police is investigating why they went there instead of come to our flat that we all 4 live in
cops came yesterday looking for my sister saying that my mom got hurt and neighbors there called them for help
but after an hour or so (apparently after they apprehended our sister) they called us to come to police dep, and there we found what happened ..

Mother is dead and now we need to call her family and arrange burial, and police investigation is ongoing to determine sister is a mental patient or ..

I'm sorry that you and your younger brother have to go through this. Rip to your mother. It is unfortunate that your sister is bipolar and had a incident like this. I hope she doesn't get a very light sentence because she is bipolar. Hopefully you and your brother can adapt to this new situation and make the best of it. My condolences for your loss.

This is....a terrible thing that happened to you.

Please accept my condolences. I hope you will be able to sort this out in the end, as this looks heavy just to process it.

Feel free to vent, you will need someone to talk , and here is not the worst place to do so!

🤔…Egypt?
First of all, I would like to express my condolences for the terrible things that have happened to your family.
I know it is a bit of a dark day, but I feel that the fact that you are in good health and still have the means to consult with us will be a saving grace in the coming year.

However, Egypt's public website seems to have a heavy line this season and when I try to browse it, it is played. 😢

Usually, you will be able to ask for appropriate consultation.
Legal property issues may have to wait for the police and the judiciary, but I think it's a good idea to talk to the police about where to organize the property and debts of surviving crime victims, or if the police are concerned, I still think it's a good idea to browse government support website information to find something close to us.

I think the best information would be from someone who lives in the same area as you.
Good to hear from you here though. It's a place where it's not like you won't get any replies.
May things get better for you.

🤔 Come to think of it, I think this service to consult with a therapist was also in Egypt.
I'm not sure what the rating of that site is, but I'm attaching it here in case it might be useful.

I can relate to this place feeling like family/friends and the chance on becoming homeless with a snap of a finger.

If you can't work or can't find a job or have to live in a bad economy it's not making you useless, society makes you think that, but it's not.
You are not useless nor is your brother you are both just human beings too living in a bad situation where you just trying to make the best of things.

Things that are beyond your control (like what happened with your mother) it's horrible, but unfortunately that's life, we all want our parents to become 100 but she could have gotten sick or got an accident or something more tragic but we can't stop it, and neither could you have stopped this, don't give yourself any guilt over it (on what happened or your life).

i hope some sort of solution for you comes your way.

That's rough.
But for you personally I can say there's nothing you can do to change past and no point in dwelling on thinking you are a loser/useless, there's only future and you can start improving your life now. The best time was yesterday but second best time is now. :)
I really suggest fitness and somewhat healthy eating.. You will feel better and more confident and it also helps mentally. Anyways, everyone needs to take care of themselves and muscles aren't useless, they help your body... (I feel like some people think that working out/fitness and being fit in general doesn't improve health which is appaling...)
At least this is what has helped me...

It took both of my parents to get severely sick for me to wake up to reality.
Is a different situation, but I think it will happen to everyone some day, when they finally have to fend for themselves.
My condolences on the loss of your mother. I hope that you will heal and find a way to make a living, or at least just feel like living.
Take care.

Wow, so sorry to hear that. May she rest in peace and may you and your family find the way to keep going strong. Mental illness is no joke, especially in/after situations like these. I'd advise you to reach out to a therapist and talk about things when you feel ready.

Your story is heartbreaking. I guess no words can help you now, but at least you had a place to vent off. Don't hesitate in repeating if you need it.

I'm sorry for your loss, may she rest in peace! No matter what exactly happened, I hope that your sister will get a good therapy. You and your brother should seek for help, too, don't feel ashamed! And if the first therapist doesn't work, don't leave it be, but go to another. It's a difficult and very personal thing, so it might not work with any therapist.

I am so sorry for your loss. As someone also entirely reliant on their parents despite being an adult, I absolutely understand that having been your worst fear. Do you have any friends or family you could reach out to? People may be more willing to help than you think. Whatever happens, I wish you well and I am so, deeply sorry for your loss.

Huge condolences. Mental health is a tough issue, chances are your sister needs good care (which might be very tough to find).

May these words offer whatever little comfort to your family in these horrible times. Hope things get better somehow.

This is awful. I'm sorry for your loss.

Things are going to seem overwhelming. Remember that you can only do one thing at a time. One foot in front of the other. One decision at a time. Ask for help! You might be surprised about who is willing to help you. You can get through this.

Losing a parent is always a difficult thing, and in this manner even more so.

I'm sorry for your loss. My prayers go to you and your family to move past this difficult time, heal and find peace.

As others have already said, I do not even know what yo say. My heart bleeds for you and your brother. May your sister get the help she needs. May you and your brother find healing and forgiveness and a way to make a better life for yourselves. May your mother rest in eternal peace.
