EDIT: Called the cops, mom's coming back in a few days, crisis over.
Okay, so hypothetically, let's say you are a manchild in your early twenties that relies on your mother for everything, you don't know how to pay bills, manage your bank account, and you don't have a job. You are lazy and depressed.
Your mother doesn't have a good relationship with your neighbors, or her own birth family, and you don't know if she still has a good relationship with her friends, you also don't know their phone numbers or their names. You're certain she has made more than a few enemies in recent years, she has become stressed to the point that shouting and insulting those she thinks are trying to scam her have become natural responses though she may not always do this.
You don't even remember your father's name and you never asked.
She doesn't bring her phone with her because she thinks that people are tracking her through it. You forgot her previous car's license plate number, you did not think to remember her current car's license plate number. You never thought to ask where she bought it. You do not know your father's phone number, you do not know if he is still alive or if he would help you, you think he is disappointed in you for how stupid you are.
You live in Asia, she left sometime after 11:30 AM and you haven't seen her for 16+ hours, and it's past 5 AM. She didn't mention anything about being gone for this long when she left. This has happened before when she was gone for five days or so, and that was back when you were still in high school, when you could at least turn to your teacher for help. You don't know if any of your teachers would help you now that you are an adult, you don't even remember their names. When she came back, you didn't ask where she went first thing, so she doesn't tell you, possibly as a joke, even when you bring it up later.
She has become paranoid of other people, when you ask that she stick to crowded areas she says she does the opposite, you do not think to suggest that she carry a knife. You do not think to ask if you have an emergency contact, mostly because you do not want to bring up her possible death. You went to various independent art or piano classes a few years ago, you can remember a few of that are close enough to walk to, you weren't their
best student, you left most of them on bad terms except for the piano class, you don't know if they would help you.
You don't know if she'll come back like last time or if something happened to her. Your afraid to type in her name to see if there's any news about her, but after searching/skimming through the first 3 pages of the results for "accidents" implying car accidents, you haven't seen anything involving dead older women. you don't want to search for murder. You ended up doing so any way, first few pages, nothing to do with your mother, yet.
You haven't eaten since that small dinner you had at 5 PM. You find one banknote worth at least one pizza. You have maybe enough rice and you know how to clean and maybe cook it. You don't know how to cook anything else and you're scared of knives. It rained today.
The police are familiar with her, you know this from when they came to you for questions, but most likely do not like her either. When you first told your home room teacher about your situation he told you to wait a day before he called the police, so you did. They said they needed her license plate number and her phone number the, you do not know the former, the latter is irrelevant now, because you have it. You are afraid to call them now that you're older, you are afraid of how they would treat you.
You can't find the keys to your apartment, you don't know where to look, and the door is difficult to open from the outside because of the door knob's outer casing being loose, you would always stay inside and let her in, so this wasn't that much of a problem.
You're no longer a child, You can't take care of yourself, you don't know what to do, you don't want to be cast out into the streets, you could also be freaking out over nothing.
You want to sleep.
You can't sleep.

Now I know I made that sound like a story but it's what I'm going through right now.
Should I just call the cops? What do I do?
