a couple days ago i couldn't sleep.id taken my meds but they don't make me sleep.my mom i guess she thought they did and so as a result she accused me of not taking them . Now im no angel and in the past i did cheek meds and stored them up to overdose cause i couldn't get ahold of pills since the medicine is locked up.my therapist suggested my mom even checking to make sure i swallowed it was embarrassing. But i knew i took my meds though for a moment she was almost convince me i didn't take them and i had to think back,anyway my mom gave me a risterol for sleep she hugged me said she loved me.i told her she didn't believe me she blamed my lack of sleep on allergies a nice way of saying she was wrong i fell asleep and had an uneventful night

Perhaps she researched causes of sleeplessness with meds?
Sounds like a huge worry on her shoulders to keep a hawk's eye on meds due to fear of what you might do. Not chastising you, pointing out your mom's reality.

Is this the only thing that creates friction between the two of you? This post reminds me a bit of my son's moments when he's at a heightened emotional cycle.

If you used to hide meds I see why she worries about it

yes, I am sensing she is questioning you on account of previous behaviour. She also clearly loves you. Be happy she cares and is watching out for you. Unless there is a pattern of other behaviour I don't see this as suffocating or being overbearing. Are there other things happening in your relationship then?

Get one of those plastic pill packs that you use to lay out your meds for the whole week. Then, it is much easier to see whether you've taken the pills for the night, or not.
Thanks for this!
