My family is so supportive. They wanted to have me sent to a mental institution because they believe I should be because they are supportive in a
my tratment Now i have no support.

What do the professionals say? Your parents can't just throw you into a mental institution.

[Trippin2.0]

Am institution as in drop you off, lock you up and throw away the key... Or a treatment facility that can help you and has a set discharge date.

Is it possible they are resorting to this decision because they actually care? I'm pretty sure the answer is yes. They wish to help you. The case may be that it is time for you to help yourself. See your mental healthcare professionals and consider their advice.

Remember, as often is the case with mental illness, we fail ourselves to see the signs we need help. That is why it is so important to have a support network that cares enough to note and be concerned by change. Please realise how lucky you are to have people in your life who care.

Oh yes my T was not happy with them if he thought it would help He would have already done it,they never talked to me at all because thats how a dysfuctional family operates you are never allowed to show or express your self it scares them when I do this

My recommendation is to invite family members to a therapy session.

My T told me not too talk to anyone about it

I'm sorry but anybody who would drop their children off in a mental ward clearly doesn't understand what type of living hell it is for us. Childhood and adolecent institutions (at least my experience with them) are worse than jail.

They are either naive or selfish.

If you aren't deemed an immediate threat to others or yourself I would suggest doing everything in your power to fight it. Lie if you have to because your freedom and sanity don't have a price.

yeah it's a terrible feeling when you took care of your mom and dad when he had cancer my brother and sister are 4-5 hrs away so now i'm not a asset a problem no support i'm really depressed and full of anxiety and were changing some meds yeah the t he is offended they called him no threat to anyone or myself i just dont do anything because i can't my mom still is alive and has been complaining about my complaining to her what i do is express my feelings it freaks her out we never done this in our family

[MickeyCheeky]

I'm sorry you feel this way. I think they probably just had good intentions - but obviosuly it's your choice, and if your therapist says it's not needed, then I wouldn't worry about it. If you can, you can try tell them why you don't think it's needed, maybe?

[eyesclosed]

The part of this I don't understand is I live next door to her. She my mom won't talk to me about me she listened and then complained to my brither and sister about the way I'm living right now if I lived a mile away I could just say everything is fine but living next to her I can't lie to her

[eskielover]

If they see how yiu are living & realize you have a problem that needs addressed, why isnt your T working with you to resolve the problem.

I could see that my ExH seriously needed a conservator. He needed one before I left him & after al the STUPID financial things he did after I left....he was in serious need of help but through the channels availwble, he couldnt get the help he needed. One of these days he will end up homeless.

Just because he couldnt get the help I know he needed didnt mean he didnt need the help.. Your mom sees things you probably dont even let your T know about that yiu are hiding from him. You are lucky to have someone who does care about you & notices the problems you are having

[eyesclosed]

Well this is very possible. This T is new to me and the facility I just had my first appointment with the prescribing medical doctor. I have been this way over a year the other place did nothing for me. They are just trying to sort things out and the doctor is changing some meds. This is not something new I just don't think they are giving the new place enough time. If my mom sees things I don't see wouldn't it be better for her to express these feelings to me?

[vikingr48]

In many states, two family members can put another in an institution if by examination it is felt there is some mental illness that makes you possibly hurt you or others. It is usually a very legal and strict procedure, although I have seen violations.

Even cops do not want to commit people they find mentally incompetent but harmless. If you come out, you come out worse than when you went in. Conditions are terrible, with keys and chains at times and constant meds that just make you sleepy. Avoid it at all costs.

Your therapist maybe saving your life. Find a way to get away from your parents if you can. That or learn to detach yourself from them.

Sad situation. Good luck to you.

[eskielover]

If my mom sees things I don't see wouldn't it be better for her to express these feelings to me?

sadly not always if. She may feel you are in denial of the problem & may WRONGLY feel that talking to you would accomplish nothing.

What would be best would be to have a good ability to communicate with your mon & her with you but sadly thats not very often the case.

Part of my ex H's issues were his inabiluty to rationally communicate so talking to him about my concerns about him woukd have been pointless.

Since this T & prescribing Md are new to your case maybe it would be useful at one of your appointments for your mom to be included, assuming she is really a reasonable person who can talk about her concerns rationally. That way she would feel her concerns have been heard & taken into consideration & she could also be more aware of their plans for treatment. With better understsnding her patience & understanding of your situation may ease her fears & help you see the bigger picture too since this is a new situation with new meds for yiu too.

I have alqays found that its best if those I depend on for support know more about what is going on too.

i did invite my sister the weekend she visited my t works weekends my moms situation is this her dad died when she was 14 at 15 her mom TRIGGER WARNING committed suicide she then was split up from her other siblings 4 total she married my dad a alchoholic he died in 2008 and for the last 10 years was being swept off her feet by my ex passive aggressive wife who she admired in our family growing up you didn't express your emotions to each other this has been a tough life for her and i have only told her once because of all the things she had stored away inside she could benefit from talking to someone about it so at this point i detached from family
