Your mum sounds depressed and depressed people are often quite self-centred and demanding. Often doing as they want just leads to another demand because it doesn’t help the real, underlying problem.
You should only do what you feel comfortable with. In present circumstances your mum is asking you to do something that would endanger her and your family. I would be worried about going to the window because I think she will come out to you.
Having had a close relative with mental health problems one of the hardest things I had to do was admit that I could not help, it was beyond me and that she needed someone with much more expertise and understanding of her illness than me.
When people are ill they are not themselves and don’t always see things clearly.
