Today, my mom took away my medication. She's afraid I'll get "hooked". The medication is anti-anxiety pills. I have horrible anxiety attacks that sometimes cause me to scratch my arms until they bleed. FML

Today, my mom forbade me from taking any allergy medicine, because she is afraid that I'll turn into a meth addict. I have horrible allergies and can barely see or stop sneezing without them. FML

Today, I was curious as to whether or not my mom was off of her medication. When I asked her, she pulled a knife on me. Looks like I got my answer. FML

Today, I woke up with one of the worst migraines I've had in months. My mother (who thinks I'm a hypochondriac) began to scream at me about "making up an illness". When I asked for my meds, she called me an addict, and dumped my $300 prescription down the sink. FML

Today, when I picked up my repeat subscription of anti-anxiety medication, they had changed the packaging to be more 'child safe'. Now it's so hard to get the pills out that I had an anxiety attack trying to take one. FML

Today, after having to move home with my parents because I'm broke and can't seem to find a job, my mom found out I'm on anti-depressants. She and my dad will no longer be helping with money because she doesn't like "drugs". FML

Today, my mother took a bunch of sleeping pills, then went driving. I followed her and dialed 911. Now she thinks that I was "trying to get her arrested," and she refuses to talk to me ever again. FML

Today, I had an anxiety attack because I thought I'd lost my anxiety medication. It ended up being on the shelf right where I left it. FML

Today, I was going to my prom. My mom knows I want to drink so to prevent me, she made sure I took my prescription medicine before I left. I guess her way of stopping me from drinking is killing myself If I do. FML

I'll never understand why parents do this to their kids... They need to stop listening to Paranoia News and grow some common sense.

Yikes. Hopefully the arm scraching will cause her to give them back. In the meantime use Savlon to keep them clean (saying this as a former armscratcher myself).

As a whole-body-scratcher myself I understand and say FYL for having such an ignorant mom. Make her understand the importance and make her take you serious somehow - not being taken seriously just makes it all worse

OP, if you're a minor, call the cops, because that's abuse or neglect or something... failure to provide care. If you're an adult, call the cops, because that's theft.

If the OPs a minor than it is actually the parents choice to medicate the child for something like anxiety. If the cops could step in every time there was a child who wasn't on some kind of mood stabilizer or the like when they ought to be there would be a lot of parents in trouble. You have to consider things like how many religious communities don't believe in medicating and such.

Being part of a religious community is not an excuse to turn off the child protection agents when they come to take the kids away. To refuse medication needed is as bad parenting as refusing to feed properly.
