<prompt> Human: My mother is diagnosed bipolar, and she has only recently recovered from a 5 month long manic episode, which resolved after a month and a half in care. During her illness my mother spent tens of thousands of her savings on frivolous and useless belongings, which filled our home to the brim. There are many more spendings that cant be traced. She took out loans on jewellery and at the bank to accomodate for this spending, yet she wasnt paying for rent or any other utilities. This has resulted in severe debt to family who helped with loans, the bank, our landlord, the gas company, electricity company and more. She has absolutely no savings left and she cant go back to work for weeks until medication is regulated. Even when working it would be impossible to pay back arrears on house before eviction.We are going to be homeless in a few weeks and I dont know what to do. We live in Australia. Does anyone have any advice? Anyone been through something similar?Edit: My mother and I are overwhelmed with the response. Thank you endlessly. I will try to respond as much as possible but reading it all through now.  <response>: on frivolous and useless belongings, which filled our home to the brim.How much of them can be returned? She took out loans on jewellery and at the bank to accomodate for this spendingCheck the paperwork to see if the jewelry can be returned. If not, look to your options for selling it.Also, would she be willing to give power of attorney to a responsible family member who can freeze her credit so that in the future she wouldnt be able to take out loans?We are going to be homeless in a few weeks and I dont know what to doHow old are you? Are you in education, training, employment?Is there any income? Disability, unemployment, etc?Do you have any family members who would be willing to take you in?
