My mom accidentally fell asleep before she could give me my nighttime meds. I don't know where they are, she hides them from me. So I guess no sleep because no seroquel. And I've been used to having no lithium or Zoloft since I still haven't gotten them filled, so at least I don't have to worry about that. No sleep again, bleh

Is your sister home yet? Maybe your mom can tell her as an alternate in case this happens again,

Yes my sister is home but I'll have to wait for the future to use her.

My mom is asleep. I've mentioned in other threads, but she has narcolepsy & sleep apnea. So it's impossible to wake her up. She's like dead asleep and if you can get her awake it's just mumbles incoherent babbling lol.

You're hitting brick wall after brick wall.

I still say go IP, you keep saying your " doing better" etc .... But you always toss in a " lol" so maybe that's just a default you are using to help cope ? I don't know .

You're sister is there ask her to take you to the ER .

Don't you want to feel better?

Ps in the future make sure you have a days worth of meds on hand so if your mom is sleeping you can still take your much needed medication.

Then your mom cannot be realistically relied upon for med dispatch. It's good you can laugh about it but it's not really funny. Your doctors are dropping the ball. Your whole situation is just not acceptable at all. You need to be in a group home or assisted living situation....or in the hospital. If your mom is going to keep track and hold your meds she has to be reliable and it sounds like she has conditions which keep her from being a reliable source to hold your meds.

Yeah it sucks. Last night was alright. I went into the living room, layed in the chair, and watched tv all night.

I guess you could be right... I truly feel like I am doing better than I was before though. .. I guess that. could be a coping mechanism, I don't know

My sister doesn't have her license yet, almost. She's been allowed to and been practicing.

I do want to feel better..I'm just trying to give my meds a chance to work

I'll see if my mom will let me do that. She's afraid I'll try to overdose again.

My mom has pills that help keep her awake. She just forgot yesterday. She's been providing my meds for like a year now, so I still trust her. I don't know what I would do without her.

Why don't you use a pill reminder case and you and your mom just fill it with 3 days of pills? You cant OD on that and you wont need to rely on another person.
Thanks for this!
