So my moms starting to turn really, really crazy these days. I mean jumping off a bridge crazy. She listens to these half-assed conspiracy theorists that claim a shitload of nonsense my mom actually believes. She thinks the world is planning on killing 80% of it own population, 9/11 is a timed attack, our water is poisoned, all celebrities sold their souls to the devil, the hunger games is an actual example of what the "new world order" will do to us(etc). Shes gone off the radar.
To explain, my moms always been religious, a bit too religious. To the point where she would constantly have us switch religions. At one point, I formulated my own beliefs, and stopped followings in her mad search for God-knows-what. First,she was catholic then she became a baptist, then a a seventh day adventist, then a "messianic Jew".
Now she's a conspiracy theorist.
And I've been there to watch it all, i've seen her pretentious attitude toward almost everything. First she's one, then she's the other. And I'm sick of it.
This morning actually, I decided to ask my grandma's about world war two.
So me and my grandma's are talking about it, then she interrupts and starts talking about "fema camps" and how the "new world order" is planning to use it on people.
In hindsight, it's sheer stupidity. She believes everything those bullshit hypocrites say, she follows them like it's her lifeline.
I'm sick of it. I started arguing with her alot at first, like finding proof as to how much of scam those idiots are, now I just don't care. I'm embarrassed to call her my mother now.
I want to to get out of this house, and find some other place to live. She's gone off the wall. She is beyond reason, and I don't know what to do about it anymore.

I need help guys, any of your advice would help.

For now, i would just act like you agree with her. If you do that, she likely wont try to convince or talk about it to you. Hopefully you can just ignore it. Im sorry you have to go through this. Best of Luck :)

Your mother seems to be searching for some form of faith. Or in better words, she's trying to make herself believe that she's here on Earth for a reason, but she can't seem to prove it to herself, therefore, switches to a different religion or view that she can grasp more and that makes more sense to her. Maybe you should talk to her about it and find out what's really going on because she seems like she has a lot to say right now.

Also, you should try listening to what she has to say about those conspiracy theories. Many of them are not just bullshit and they have a lot of supposed evidence behind them. Very interesting stuff if you ask me because you can speculate yourself on what you think is going on in the world.

I don't know your mother, but that's what it sounds like she's going through right now. I wouldn't call it crazy, I would just say that it's her being confused about what is happening at the moment and what the future has to come.

Sorry if I didn't help at all :P

Ah, alright, but I mean, I had ton of proof the nonsense she was listening to were fake, but she just won't listen to me. Trying to talk to her to see what's going won't work, as she also has serious pride issues, and there's no way I'm ever going to fake believing in something I don't. And you hit it right on the money sordid, after some stuff happened to our family, she just went around trying to find something that "appeases" her.
I'm hoping I can do something, for myself, to deal with that, or find a way not to...

Have you tried to show her anything that would prove that all of that is a lie? Maybe show her something on the internet that will convince her, like photos, videos, reports, ect.

Good Luck, hopefully this was helpful.

Make up something that she will believe and go crazy about and that won't annoy you to much.
Or did some distinct belief that she will stick to, maybe magic? Like Wicca and all of that...

Yes I have tried to show her actual youtube videos that prove how much of a scam they are, but she doesn't even care to watch them...
