Today, my mom took away my medication. She's afraid I'll get "hooked". The medication is anti-anxiety pills. I have horrible anxiety attacks that sometimes cause me to scratch my arms until they bleed. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had a anxiety attack about taking my anxiety medicine. FML
Today, my mom forbade me from taking any allergy medicine, because she is afraid that I'll turn into a meth addict. I have horrible allergies and can barely see or stop sneezing without them. FML
Today, my doctor lectured me for 20 minutes about 'drug seeking behaviour' when I asked for more anti-anxiety medication. I need it because my shithead 15 year-old son found my pills and took them to get wasted. I need the meds in the first place because he's constantly pulling shit like this. FML
Today, I was curious as to whether or not my mom was off of her medication. When I asked her, she pulled a knife on me. Looks like I got my answer. FML
Today, I woke up with one of the worst migraines I've had in months. My mother (who thinks I'm a hypochondriac) began to scream at me about "making up an illness". When I asked for my meds, she called me an addict, and dumped my $300 prescription down the sink. FML
Today, I found my mom throwing my very expensive and important medication down the toilet. She thought I was doing drugs. FML
Today, when I picked up my repeat subscription of anti-anxiety medication, they had changed the packaging to be more 'child safe'. Now it's so hard to get the pills out that I had an anxiety attack trying to take one. FML
Today, after having to move home with my parents because I'm broke and can't seem to find a job, my mom found out I'm on anti-depressants. She and my dad will no longer be helping with money because she doesn't like "drugs". FML
Today, my mother took a bunch of sleeping pills, then went driving. I followed her and dialed 911. Now she thinks that I was "trying to get her arrested," and she refuses to talk to me ever again. FML
Today, I had an anxiety attack because I thought I'd lost my anxiety medication. It ended up being on the shelf right where I left it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'll never understand why parents do this to their kids... They need to stop listening to Paranoia News and grow some common sense.

Def have your doc meet with ur mom-but u should also try some behaviour management techniques. Mayb if your mom sees you trying other options, she will understand the need for pharmacology to bridge the gap for awhile.

I don't think it's right for her to take them away but at the same time maybe you should look into ways to manage it without meds. I get anxiety attacks too but I've never taken meds and can manage them.

depends what's triggering them medication for instance is the only way to control mine because it's triggered by my dissociative psychosis

FYL for having an ignorant mother. if your a minor it's considered neglect. if your an adult it's theft. you can call the police and then she will be arrested. if she is pissed test and she has them in her system, well **** her life. she can be red flagged by the DEA and just straight up screwed. either call the police or go bac to the doctors and tell him what happened. have you tried counseling or therapy. I suffer for aniexty attacks also, I have meds for it but I rarely take them. I use other method to overcome them. therapy can teach you other methods.

I feel for you. My anxiety attacks cause me to scratch at my throat... I've never made myself bleed, but it's been close a few times

I used to do that as a teen - anxiety attacks are horrible!
