I told my Mom I've tried going off the meds but each time I get in a bad way again and she said, "But that means you have an illness! Who ever hears of people staying on these meds for extended periods or time? People are supposed to go on them and go off them when they are better."I think my Mom is in denial. She just can't bear to think her daughter has serious problems. That is why I can never go to her for help. Sure people say, "Go to the hospital Deneb, if you want to OD", but in reality I probably wouldn't be able to do that. My Mom would not let that happen. She tried to stop me from going to the hospital that time I actually did OD.
But I think this may be a good thing. I seriously cannot go to the hospital every time I think I am in danger because that would be wasting too many resources. As well, I think it may be reinforcing my behaviour.
That being said however, if I was really in trouble, of course I would have to go to the hospital no matter what my Mom said.
