First of all, english isn't my first language, so sorry in advance if I commit some mistakes, and please i beg you to be nice, since this is an really hard subject for me and my family.
So, as the title suggest, my (27m) brother (30m) last year was diagnosed with bp2 after he was hospitalized for multiples depressive episodes and attemps, it's been a rough couple of year for him, after finishing uni in 2022 (that was kinda hard for him too) he has been in a downward spiral, tired of looking for jobs, the jobs he finds almost always are not the right fit, harsh climate, bad conditions or simply a job he doesn't really like. The problems is that he accepts every job offer he has, because for him it feels worse to stay in my moms house overthinking. Also him been 30, living still with my mom with no so much plans for the future, specially with this job market has really taken a toll on his mental health.
I'll not lie, it's been extremely difficult for us, especially for my mom, he has committed at least 6 attempts in this last 2 years, last month we took him for the second time to the psych ward because he was overmedicating without we knowing (we didn't know he had more medication that what my mom gives him) after just a couple of days after his exit he tried again and i don't know what more i can do. I feel like we tried everything, contacting his friends, been with him, psychiatric and psychological treatment, from the psych ward they recommend occupational therapy, and we were finding someone.
Is really hard seen my brother like this, we are not a big family and I really love him, he has always struggle a little bit with life, but also he has managed to keep up, but this time feels different, it's feels like he isn't enjoying life anymore, more aggressive, with and absolutely dark look in life. He told me that it doesn't matter if it's in a day or in 10 years from now, he will khs, it's like everything we say or do is irrelevant.
I just want him to be happy and that he can live the life that he deserves, but i can't say this situation isn't tiring, I don't no what else to do, the treatment it's been also really expensive, his attitude towards us isn't the best and i don't really blame him for that, but it's just feels so hard, especially for my mom.
Any advice, alternative for treatment or kind word helps. I know he is really suffering right now, maybe other opinions can help me understand him better or give us a better approach.
