I just ate something. My daughter called they hold court on Thursdays and Fridays. I reminded her again to behave and be polite. My old supervisor from Nashville told me to tell her that they monitor how much you eat, drink and sleep. Then report that to the attending psychiatrist. I told her. I was going to look into IOP for her when she discharged Monday. Many of us have been in the situation of needing IP but needing to go to work because of bills. She does not have any vacation or sick time. And does not qualify for FMLA. I can not afford to pay my bills and hers as well. My daughter can not borrow money from anyone. My mom almost had to take her to court to get money repaid. About thirty minutes ago I received a call from one of my daughter’s great aunts on her father’s side. She asked asked how my daughter was doing. I told her I did not think we should talk because her and her family are religious and do not believe in mental illness. She assured me that was not the case. That she believe it’s ok to go to whatever kind of doctor you need. We talked a little. Then she said if my daughter tried hard enough she would not be sick. I told her wrong you know nothing about mental illness. You do not have one, you have not studies about mental illness. You don’t take meds and that makes it were you never get suicidal again. She said if you pray hard enough God will cure your mental illness. I said I knew from the start this was a bad idea. I will not call you with updates on my daughter and do no call me again.
I just gave in and took two Vistaril. Thank you all for checking in on me.
