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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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.

I dont get it. Where i come from anxiety attacks are almost unheard of. You people live such priviledged lives that your minds have to invent various forms of strife. Down here we too busy trying to get by to be bothered by anxiety.

-head+desk- dope is not even close to a viable alternative to prescribed medications. weed and alcohol make me hallucinate, which wigs me out and aggravates my mood disorders. i can't just stop taking my meds - i would likely end up dying.

Wow. I feel so badly for you, OP. I know you'll probably face a ton of uneducated people in your life who just don't believe that you have anxiety and that you need that medicine, but I hope it helps to see that so many people here know what you're going through. There are plenty of people in the world who understand and can explain the need for you to take ALL prescribed meds to her, from your pharmacist to your doctor to the nurses and even school counselors. Having people not believe you sucks. I have fibromyalgia, fatigue, severe arthritis, and used to have depression. People in my life have told me I'm making it up and that my fatigue is laziness and my pain is in my head, even as I have had to undergo years of treatment starting at 14. You just have to keep your chin up and utilize what resources you have- for you, the most important is your pharmacist or doctor. I wish you all the best in life.

I've almost killed people who've told me it was all in my head.. Wait, that doesn't sound right...

You can call social services and have them intervene. with a severe anxiety condition like that, it's considered abuse to take away needed medication.
