Stuck in difficult situation

ujjwalrhytm April 14th, 2022

I am badly stuck in a tough problem of my life after a series of traumas. My both parents died in 2nd wave of covid and I have two elder sisters in which eldest one is mentally challenged with schizophrenia. Currently I am Persuing my M.TECH degree from IIT Bombay . Right now in my home doing online course but I need to go to college to complete my thesis project but the problem is if I go to college who will look after my sister. It's very hard to handle her and sometimes she ran away from the house and I have to search and took her back.

And my middle sister cannot handle her, she's not having much experience to handle her, she's getting beaten up sometimes by schizophrenic sister. I can handle somewhat because I am looking after her since 10 years.

I had very deep bond with my parents. This pain is unbearable. I am not able to find any solution for my life. Please help me finding solution.

I'm really sorry to see you struggling so much

Losing parents and then having this entire set of responsibilities on your shoulders is not easy, sorry for your loss ☹️

I understand your confusion and this is a tough situation that is making you feel more overwhelmed

Is there someone in your extended family to look after your sisters for the time being you'll be away? Some relatives or friends?

Or is it an option to send her to hospital care for these few days till when you need to be away?

Please don't give up on your dreams of compromise on your studies, you will be able to support your family better when you're standing on your feet, earning well and in a better place with your mental health too

It is all confusing and very sad i know but i really hope you can come out of this storm stronger

Sending my best wishes to you ❤️
