Good morning @Avamarie
I'm so sorry to read you are having such a hard time at the moment. It's incredibly hard knowing how to help a loved one who may not recognise they have a problem or want to get help. My heart goes out to you; it sounds like a really challenging situation.
Have you got support? It might be a good idea to go and see your GP and ask for some help to link in with community supports. The GP can do a mental health care plan and help with referrals.
Ask Izzy is a website you can use to look for community support in your local area. It might be worth having a look.
SANE has a free program you can sign up for to get one on one support.
You can find more information and the registration form here: Welcome to SANE’s Recovery Club
RecoveryClub is a free, 6-month digital program that offers evidence-based recovery resources, 1:1 support, online groups, and peer support connections to help you build confidence and develop practical skills for your wellbeing and recovery.
I'm sure others in the forums community will jump in to offer some support and experience.
You're not alone ok?
