l just wanted to have a say on this. My daughter knows l take pills for depression (dysthsmia) which will be ongoing the rest of my life and l am trying to learn coping skills with my Therapist. l also have severe anxiety attacks that is so terrible at times, it is to the point that l won't leave the house for periods of time.
The Dr. told me l don't have the coping skills l once did and that is why l have these afflictions. She also said l have a personality disorder and now l am on disability for it.
l am not ashamed that l have this problem and l do talk about it freely because it is nothing l did to cause it and l have had people tell me their stories that sound very similar to mine.
Anyways, my daughter who is 20 yrs old, told me she was going to call the show "lntervention" to tell them l was a drug addict for all the pills l take. l told her l took the pills for depression, my anxiety and my back, that was it.
She then told me she had talked with her Father , my Ex about the situation of my taking pills and he told her not to come over here in case l flip out on her since l am a mental case.
Then she dropped the bomb that really broke my heart, one day when she did come to visit, l asked her when she had her baby, if l could babysit sometimes and have the baby overnight to give her a break and she told me No, that l can't be trusted because l might pass out on the pills and l was to stop taking the pills immediately (cold turkey) if l wanted to see the baby.
l told l can't just stop cold turkey because my body would not be able to take it and then she just up and left saying l had my chance.
lt is like l have already been judged without even coming with me to my Dr. to hear that l am no danger to myself or anyone else. l am fully alert and have never passed out. l would have really liked my daughter to come with me to my appointment so the Dr. could reassure her and tell her that l am not some monster high on drugs.
