Oh man, I'm so sorry for your loss. This is just horrible to read.
I wish you and your family a lot of strength to get through this. I hope you can support each other.
May your mother rest in peace.
And I hope your sister gets the help she needs!

This is terrible... my condolences, sincerely. Ive lost my grandma recently (about 2 years now), beyond how devastating it was emotionally both me and my mom got some financial help from her so its been hard- it was enougth to send me spinning so i can only imagine how much harder all this might be for you- out of the blue, how it happened and heck in a way its 2 losses at once.
But i would recommend to you to try to throw away that "useless fuck" concept.
Seriously. That deserves the garbage bin, out of the window, bury that @#$ forever.
Talking from experience
The 'self-isolating' 'gaming adicct' bits are real issues and its a good thing youre aware of then, and as issues. Thats the first step in tackling those problems.
That final part however is a logical jump fallacy. Its a BS self-ingrained negative conclusion that mixes one part as 'cause' (as if that was the cause/explanation to why youre in that situation) and the other is effed up distorted concept of self you ingrained, as if all that was just your nature.
This isnt it.
You reached that point for reasons- how many i cant tell or know since i dont know you, and heck some reasons can be hard to track even personally (heck can be hard for therapists to identify)- but likely multiple reasons and usually a cycle that spireled down to that point. In any case theres no such simple reasons as 'being a useless fuck'. This is a self-defeating narrative, a common false conclusion. I can say that with certainty- been the case for me and pretty much everyone i ever heard those statements.
No one is useless 'by nature'. We can be useless, have been useless for 'reasons'- again, they vary to each person.
Even the sort of worst case scenario like someone with terrible crippling physical or mental conditions from birth is only ever as 'useless' as our society cant handle or offer then conditions where they could show their worth. Idk the actual numbers lets say for every 1000 disabled people(most serious disabilities) we have 1 artist or a Stephen Hawking. The reason we dont have more is because life isnt fair, things dont line up and heck the world isnt made for them and so on...
So that doenst apply even in that case- much less mine or yours.
Good news is we can change that. We can stop being useless. We can win addictions, we can take down our self-imposed barriers.
Im nowhere near your situation right now, heck very few people in the world goes through scenarios like this- what youre going through is hard, will be hard for awhile and your life will definetly change from now on. But im familiar with the situation youve been in until now- and im sure youd agree that right now the least thing you need is all that negative self-defeating baggage that have cursed you thus far.
I struggled with pretty much the same, self-isolation... not really gaming addiction in my case but i go on stretches of mostly gaming all the same (its a simple scape valve easily acessible). I have mental health issues, adhd+light autism and developed chronic depression in my teens... anyway, ive strugled and still struggle with all that, and you can change that. In my case i 'won' over my issues for a time until repeated blunders put me down again- but i at least had a taste of things getting better. I know its possible, ive been there.
Wasnt easy... i had to keep using medication, my problems (and the ones that have no cure for) didnt just go away- but with enougth effort and the right conditions it was almost like 'a cure'. Things lined up for a time with my studies, oportunity- so i also had clear goals and some prospects helping along...
...and that came crashing down. It happens, life sucks- so i went downhill since... but the lesson was learned. I know how much being in that kind of hole becomes self-defeating. How much my own negativity sabotaged me and kept me down. And thankfully ive throw away that stupid self image concept i had- the same one- of being 'useless' or whatever.
That is bs we tell ourselves.
Anyway right now probably isnt the right time to tackle that head on. Right now you have very imediate things you need to handle- your sister, your moms burial, inheritance and whatever other legal woes. Right now you need to focus on navigating this shit storm that happened in your life. But its possible. I have no experience with that but ive met people who had- i once had friend whose father killed her mom (had because my self-isolation i didnt kept in contact). Anyway, i imagine its extremely hard but even a shit storm like this can and do pass.
So focus on that for now- and at least for awhile silence that old tired discourse youre used to repeating to yourself. Youre isoleted, addicted, self-esteem issues? Whatever, just ignore all that baggage for now. The negative toughts that come spiraling, our inner voice... and at least for now DONT THINK AHEAD JUST YET. Dont go on worrying about what will become of the future- no matter what will become of the future will happen regardless, so theres nothing really useful bashing yourself ahead of the time. If things go bad or how bad you will suffer that when it comes, so why suffer earlier? Imagination is extremely powerful and have no limits- our minds can conjure dozens, hundreds of worse possible scenarios... and guess what, only 1 thing will happen and it might be much tamer, far from the worst you had tought... So dont.
and that matters, heck people have done unspeakable or irreversible things reacting to what they feared their future might become... its irrational, like fear.
Dont be irrational right now.
Could also be useful not being overly emotional either... i mean, cry and let out whatever feelings as needed (only real way of letting then go and getting better, shit bottled inside is terrible)- but do it sooner as needed, and once the bulk of it is out shove all that aside and focus on what you need to do imediatly, right now. At least in the first moment... there will be plenty of time to mourn properly like we all need to do later, just try to put things in place right now until whatever dust settles.
Land first. You were just knocked out of your feet and your world, its normal to be shaken, sad, angry, desperate- youre up in the air, it may feel the world is now upside down but its you whove been knocked upside down. First order is landing- doesnt need to land on both feet, not even one, may be on your knees even, doesnt matter, you wont be able to think straight until you land. Solve the imediate things first... one at a time, the most imediate/urgente ahead of you... you can think about it all later.
After that you can start thinking on what to do next-and my strong recomendation seek help (medication, therapy), wich can help. By that point you will be thinking a bit better. You will probablyy still be sad, worried, angry- but it will be toned down, more doable. Wont be easy but kick that bucket, @#$ it, try improving from that even if its the hard way or in the wrong way. Doesnt matter if you fail at first, if it takes too long- as long as youre trying to change the bad conditions youve been in you will be progressing towards solving it and its better then staying stuck with your addiction alone.
Top of it all when that time comes dont compare yourself to others. Yeah we didnt suceed like some people weve know, yeah it may take longer for us... whatever. Life isnt a race, theres no real medals at the end, heck at the end we all go back to the earth all the same, from the top of the world celebrity to a homeless person. Youre the protagonist of your life, that should be your focus- and so long as youre trying to improve to achieve some happiness and suffer less its all worth it.
But definetly you can throw away that 'useless fuck' bit right away. No need to wait for that. The sooner you discard that the better.
I hope things cool down for you sooner rather then later. Give time some time, handle things now, you havent even really reached the stage of proper mourning yet. Dont go prophetizing doom and gloom, youre no prophet, and in such a terrible time you wont see any light ahead anyway, so let the worst of the storm pass first.
If you want to add me on steam to chat or vent later feel free to do so. I wish you good luck

Wow. Seeing this comment i tought of blacklisting right away, and lo and behold you were already one of my few blacklists.
On top of it all 10 years around, years since youve done any GA, over 1k wins with 200 or so gas made.
Its strange how much it tracks people with terrible behaviour being an net negative overall- and this tracks, what makes someone who clearly doesnt care about others here, nor gifting, to even bother posting something like this? Its not even like a hot divisive topic or politics, the kinds of things that make people want to tell their opnion.
This is absolute nothing. Devoid of anything. Adds nothing, only detracts. Gratuitous, hollow... wasted everyones time, anyones reading it and heck even yours typing it.
Why?
Its a sincere curiosity, even if a morbid one.

Hey BreizhAtao
this is typical spineless keyboard warrior behaviour.
When will you face yourself and address your misery? Why the delay?

It can be on HBO or Sky if you all prefer inclusivity...

A member of the community opened up about their mother being murdered and this is this type of response you give? That's pretty damn sad and disgusting, but with things you've said previously it's not suprising unfortunately.

No, instead of seeking help, I should do a thread here. People seems to like it.

Very sorry for your huge loss. Wish you all the strength needed to face the present. 🫂

I am very sorry for your loss.
For the moment, I guess it's time to have to grow up. Even if it hurts, fins a job, even a shit manual one. Try to help your brother, it sucks, but you are the man of your family now.. Rent that apartment, and even if your sister is a murderer, try to help her as much as you can, even if that help is visit her on prison.

I think I know what you feel... I feel very similar things about myself and my hopeless future. Atm I'm living just thanks to and for my dog Gizmo. And my parents who make me still try things and thanks to who I can survive. I have same fears as you had and I can't imagine how hard it is for you now...
RIP for your Mom and please you and your family stay strong!
If you ever wanted to talk to someone let me know!

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 ..
