Often I worry about my mom, who is nearing 400lbs. She actually does have pre-existing conditions and thyroid porblems, but the main issue imo is that she doesn't bother to help herself eat healthier. Unfortunately, she has ptsd and bpd, and the way she copes is by binge eating; she refuses to go to an actual counselor. We probably spend an average of $30 per month to keep up with her appetite. Every time we go out to get groceries she wastes her money on chocolate and ice cream.
The other day I was at the store helping her buy a few things since we had no food, and she spent nearly an hour in the candy aisle picking out candy for her blood sugar even though she eats it all in a day. I tied reasoning with her that she needs to have a healthier alternative and she just wouldn't hear it. Eventually she started having a fit about it so I just gave up. I don't know why I bother saying anything anymore as she just can't be reached. I don't want her to die at such an early age, but at this point I've lost all the sympathy I had for her. I want to continue on my life now.
I have to take care of her mess though. She's disabled and can't do anything for herself so I constantly have to help her around the house and take care of her. All the fucking time I have to cook dinner, do her laundry, comfort her, pick up all the shit she spills everywhere, etc. etc. There's an endless amount of shit I have to do on a daily basis. Of course no one else wants to help her considering she has no friends and treats everyone around her like shit. Even the family wants nothing to do with her. I don't know what options I have because if I leave her alone she'll just let herself die.
