Mother is ruining my mental health AIBU

AIBU? My mum has caused me a lot of problems of the past few years, I have lost job over her behaviour. She is schizophrenic so is severely paranoid and has delusions, eventually she was violent towards me so the police removed me from her house when I was 21, I’m 22 now and in another town and in my own property away from her. My anxiety is a lot better due to being on meds etc, anyway the past 7-8 months she has been bothering me again, found my address and phone number has turned up at my place, bombarded me with calls telling me she’s going to kill herself. I have spoken to the police and her gp who haven’t done anything at all. She’s not taking medication so she needs to be hospitalised due to her erratic behaviour. It drags me down and leaves me feeling very depressed. Today I wrote a letter to her explaining that I love her etc but I can’t keep dealing with arguments and her behaviour towards me. She blames me for talking to my dad, as she hates him for certain things (I’m convinced he didn’t do half she has claimed. ) so I feel like I’m being punished for speaking to my father too and having him in my life.

Do I erase all contact completely or try and rebuild the relationship?

What a difficult situation. I went no contact with a (previously close) cousin because of her psychotic episodes. I't's more difficult if it's your own mum but if you think it would do you good in tge long run then move and break contact. I do think moving would help because you don't want her showing up in a state. I'm so sorry that you have to deal with this.
