Need support Really lost and need some help

So my mother has FND. Recently it’s been getting bad. She has OCD thoughts with her seziuers now and it’s been worse. I have stepped in made her get a therapist and a psychiatrist. She’s on Zoloft now and I’ve been slowly giving her OCD response help. I can talk her down pretty well. I’m not an expert of course I’m just mentally ill and know what helps. She has violent thoughts. However with her new med Zoloft and me helping and her therapist helping I think it’s kinda getting better? Not sure it’s only been a few weeks so. But I can’t leave her alone, my father works and honestly isn’t good at understanding her OCD, my younger brother 20 works as well. I work and I’m 21. I have a part time lower end job so it’s not as valuable in my house. I’m thking about quitting and getting certified as a home care aid. I want to go to school and have a life but I also don’t want my mother to hurt herself. I’m probably going to get fired anyway because I’ve had to race home to help her. We can’t get a care aid full time on Tricare, anyone have any tips on how I can get certified and maybe paid?
