I Think My Mom Is Trying To Get Me Declared Mentally Incapacitated

So I (30f) have been dealing with some health issues, possibly an autoimmune disorder. All my tests come back negative so I’m still working on getting a diagnosis. What happens is I’ll get a “flare up” of symptoms, which usually feel like the flu without the sick symptoms. So imagine extreme fatigue, body aches, can barely move, sleeping like 14+ hours.

This latest time was the worst. It hit for almost two weeks (usually it’s only 1-3 days). I had to miss work. I wasn’t sleeping well. I was exhausted. It was starting to negatively impact my mental health. I tried reaching out to my family the first week it happened to ask for some support, and everybody said they were too busy. Alright, kinda sucks, but fair. I can’t expect anyone to drop everything to come help.

Well, it didn’t get any better and my lease is up next week and I have to move. I’ve been trying to get started on packing and I physically can’t do it. I could barely go grocery shopping a few days ago (felt like I was going to pass out).

I called my mom crying the other day because I felt so overwhelmed and she started to berate me about how lazy I am and how I need to “get off my ass, stop making excuses, and get it done” and I cried telling her that I literally cannot. She said they’re going to take all my stuff and toss it, and I said I guess they’re going to have to do that then because I physically can’t do it. She started saying that if I’m really that bad that she’s going to apply for guardianship and take over custody of me. I said she can’t do that. She responded with something about my drivers license being registered to her address, like implying she’s going to send and receive the court documents to her address. It felt like a threat.

Today I slept in until 3:30pm (over 14 hours) and I woke up to a bunch of missed calls and texts from various family members.

Turns out she was telling people that I wanted to kill myself and that she needed my address to come check on me. She also left me a voicemail saying my dad needed my address to come help me back (not true, he has my address). She also told people my dogs were starving and was trying to get people to send us money?? My dogs are not starving and neither am I. We’re all completely fine.

My nieces mom got dragged into it and showed me the text messages she got where they were trying to get my address and she kept telling them that if they were that worried, that they could call the cops to do a wellness check.

Am I overreacting or is she really just trying to get my address so she can file some forms with the courts? I don’t trust her and I don’t know why she wanted my address so bad. I know she had no intentions of coming to visit (I already asked multiple times when I wasn’t feeling good). She’s also got one of my relatives who hates me to help her, which makes me think they’re up to something no good.

Is there anything I should do to protect myself?

I think she might be doing this with the idea that there will be a payday for her, like she’ll try to claim disability benefits in my behalf.
