give me liberty or give me death....

Current mood: angry

I am so mad right now. Let me tell you about my situation more or less. i go to therapy for my anxiety. its not a big deal or anything but i do go. i tell this lady that i had a passing thought, it lasted for like 30 seconds two weeks ago, she gets all crazy. she calls my mom, calls my doctor, calls her supervisor and is all causing an uproar. ive been taking care of taking my meds since i started taking medicine. and now i am stuck with my mom holding my meds. the doctor told me i was doing good, i didnt have to see her for 6 weeks and olny then to get my meds. now i have to have an emergency visit and that sucks. she has taken away my ability to take care of myself. i have a big thing about being independent which i have been for a long time at least as much as i can be and now its slowly being taken away. everyone has thoughts. i was under extreme mental distress and so what i had a harmful thought. it only last for one second. now i am being treated like a mental patient. I hate it. how is taking my little rights away gonna help me?

I've had those same thoughts, don't worry. I told both of my docs and they weren't that concerned. They know that I won't carry it through. It's the disease. As for your mom holding your meds, just go with it. It's only a few weeks and maybe it will make her feel better that she's helping you. You will be okay. You will get your independence back.

The greatest medicine is the emptiness of everything. The greatest action is not conforming with the worlds ways. The greatest magic is transmuting the passions. The greatest generosity is non-attachment. The greatest goodness is a peaceful mind. The greatest patience is humility. The greatest effort is not concerned with results. The greatest meditation is a mind that lets go. The greatest wisdom is seeing through appearances." - Atisha

I know exactly what you mean. Several years ago when my mother found out I was having suicidal thoughts and sometimes actions - she put up all the knives, glass in picture frames - anything you could think of.

Several months ago I was in severe pain and accidently took to many tylenol and that lead to my family hiding medications! I couldnt even take anything for a headache without my mom putting it in my hand.

Even though they believe they have our best interest in mind and care so much about us, when I feel like I don't have control it makes things worse. I'm glad my mother cares, I really do. But not having control is like a trigger for me.

It is of course always best to talk to someone if you do have harmful thoughts. But I hope things get better for you =)

I really cant give much advice on what you should do because I go through the same situations from time to time.

yea you are so right if i felt i was in danger i would go to a hospital like i have before. but now i am afraid that they will take my klonopin away cause i had thought of overdosing on it. but it was in my face if it was my seroquel i would have thought to overdose on that.

Jasmine, welcome to the group. I would like to ask how old you are, if you don't mind. I have a couple of comments but I want to make sure they are appropriate.

GOD BLESS

Jasmine, at 22 years old you are an adult (DUH). Your doctors nor therapists can discuss anything you talk to them about without your signed permission. That includes mom. I cannot discuss my wifes case with any of her docs without her consent. This is a BIG NO NO! It is against the law. In order for her to talk to mom without your permission your mom would have to have power of attorney (?) over you and without your permission that would have to be issued by a judge as you would have to be proven incompetent.

I don't want to throw a rift between you and mom. We need all of the support we can get.

GOD BLESS
