I caught it, Patty; but because you said something about as long as we're on this thread, I thought you were kidding. If you hadn't added that, believe me your phone would have been ringing. Hope that helps you feel better. Love, Sylvia 'I didn't have time to write a short [post].' Mark Twain wrote that one for me. LOL

No one will believe this unless they read it. Google Benagryl trip or Benadryl Blackout. My son was abusing this med for 3-4 years. Finally took a lethal dose which could of killed me and himself. There will be no way to prove this unless we get a scientist to do a deposition. Im tired and I do feel like giving up, what else can I do? I have done my best, never thinking he was abusing OTC med. OH Crap!!! What else |

Patty, is it possible that Rand would be better off in a group home w/ others his age and problems like his? I don't know what else you can do for him than you have, and I think you may be in danger being w/ him. At the very least, if you have a way to do so, take a vacation, even if you just go to a local hotel for a weekend. You need to do something to keep yourself from falling apart.

Sylvia, Im fine now. I cant fall to pieces, Im a survivor. Rand is doing well, he is the one who showed me the information on OTC Abuse. He knows it and knows he will never do it again. He never believed his Pdoc before because he asked the pharmacist, and the pharmacist said no problem with OTC meds YEA Right? He just now went to get some things at the store, wants to get re-instated with SSI realising his depression and his past poor self medicating. He is anxious to see hi Pdoc to let him know he was right. He is quite calm and my sweet son, I always knew. Hugs Patty |

Hi Corri, nice to meet you. Thank you for you reply, everyone on this site is so helpful and friendly. I don't know what I would had done if I hadn't been told about it. Morpheus, I hope your feeling a bit better today then you did yesterday. I know how frustrating it is when you've lost something you need, I'm forever doing it too. Everyone I've met in this group have all been so helpful and friendly and hopefully we all can try to help you feel better in one way or another. Take care, I'm here if you need me. Patty, I'm so sorry you've having a really rough time right now. I wish there was something I could do to help you. I know how dangerous benadryl can be if not taken properly, I take it to stop me from going into anaphylactic shock. I'm glad that your son has seen his mistake and is getting help, I wish you both the best of luck and I'm here if you need to talk. |

Well, I would like to thank you for your kind words and being there for me if I need someone to talk to; the only thing about it is I wish that I could be more forthcoming and out with what is REALLY bothering me. While I can be more 'out with it', it's sort of embarrassing for me to talk about - that's why I can't be more outright. But I'll do what I can do. I suppose one of my biggest things is that I want, so hard, to impress my uncle. I try and, through a lot of effort, I can't do it. I mean there are few times where I actually impress him there are times, more times than not, where I am not as 'good' as I would like to make myself out to be. One of the things I know I need to do is work on the things that I'm NOT good at while focusing attention on that which I am good at. According to 'uncle', the only thing I'm good at is either smoking, drinking, or 'syntax error'ing. The funny thing about it is, though, when I'm over to my grandparents' house, where I am now, it's almost like I can do no wrong. It's funny how when I'm around 'The Sarge' (my uncle) I can't do right but when I'm around 'The Colonel' (my grandfather) I'm really good at doing my best. |

Hi My name is Patty, nice to meet you after I discovered who your named after. Well, just kidding. I dont think we will ever please everyone in our families. A few sisters , I get along great with as long as I dont see them too often and then there are the ones I just dont see and that includes my brothers as well. We will never please everyone for what we do good or bad. So many have opinions, and should be careful not to hurt others. Im quite senitive and do get hurt easily, but so fast to forgive. I think you should visit your Grandfather more often, he seems to make you feel the way you should feel. GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF!!! Caring hugs Patty |

Things looked liked they were going to stay good for a while but I should know by now that it's never like that for me. I still can't find a place in wales to move in with Mat so he'll haven to go on his own. He has told me he'll stay here with me but I can't let him ruin his education, he's worked so hard to get into uni and I won't let him throw it all away now. I just.... can't see how I'll go on without him. He's the reason I get out of bed in the mornings and the reason I'm still here now. |

I hope you can for both of you. He will be worried about tou, and if he gets a good education that will benifit you and him. You can still call him or email him, maybe even visit. Please try to look on the bright side of this situation. I know you will hurt and miss him and he you, but the short time he will be gone and you will both have a great outcome in the longrun. Time slips away fast, dont worry Patty |
