I have been in a outpatient mental insitution for mental instability. I cant belive this is happening, i just cant. Well its the Millwood Excel outpatient services.
My mom has became my enenmy, she has taken me off my medication and i am having withdrawl symtoms (Dexedrine -dextroamphetamine) she is manipulative, she will drive anyone insane.
I have to get up and do something and get out of here this envirment, my house. I have to get a job, i had one but i quit (blockbuster), a couple months ago. I need to get a job. This has affected my education, collage classes i had to drop classes for this. My mom I want to punch so hard. She screams, proficies as she is a prohet "i can see it, the cave....where coming out of it. i can see the light." Stop being delusional.
What just happened, i cant even belive this is happening. What and why?
I am getting out of here, i have to.
Why do i have someone that is my enenmy that is my mother, she shouts, she doenst know what to deal with. I am going to my dad's (real) and telling him everything and if i can move in with him, although he is psychotic in beliving in masonary. It is better than this. My mom would fight on the floor both psychotics back in the 80's.
Please someone give me some feedback.
Matt

Matt, it sounds like you are going through a really difficult time and are in a nearly impossible situation. Your mom shouldn't be controlling your meds and taking them away from you, forcing you to withdraw abruptly.
Can you talk to one of the counselors at your outpatient treatment center about this?

Matt,
I am sorry your enviroment is so septic right now. Nobody can fully heal/recover in an environment that can make you feel that way. I wish there was something witty I could say to make everthing better, all I can do is say I am here for you. Is there any way you could stay at the outpatient clinic (some places have spare beds for emergencies like this) just temporarily till a better solution is available?
Best wishes, I will be thinking of you.
HANG IN THERE

Can anyone from the facility help you? They usually have social workers there that can help with family situations.

Yes, I agree with Dinah. Find a social worker or some other kind of patient advocate. You are an adult, and legally, you are entitled to control your own medications. Your mother has no legal right to withhold them from you.
Can your doctor-prescribed medications be held for you at the outpatient clinic, where you can take them there everyday?
Please find someone there or at a community mental health clinic to help you set and maintain healthy boundaries with your mother.
I'm sorry this is so difficult. You'll get through it, though.
take care,
gg
