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

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

Def have your doc meet with ur mom-but u should also try some behaviour management techniques. Mayb if your mom sees you trying other options, she will understand the need for pharmacology to bridge the gap for awhile.

I don't think it's right for her to take them away but at the same time maybe you should look into ways to manage it without meds. I get anxiety attacks too but I've never taken meds and can manage them.

depends what's triggering them medication for instance is the only way to control mine because it's triggered by my dissociative psychosis

FYL for having an ignorant mother. if your a minor it's considered neglect. if your an adult it's theft. you can call the police and then she will be arrested. if she is pissed test and she has them in her system, well **** her life. she can be red flagged by the DEA and just straight up screwed. either call the police or go bac to the doctors and tell him what happened. have you tried counseling or therapy. I suffer for aniexty attacks also, I have meds for it but I rarely take them. I use other method to overcome them. therapy can teach you other methods.

call CPS and report your mom for medical neglect

I feel for you. My anxiety attacks cause me to scratch at my throat... I've never made myself bleed, but it's been close a few times

I used to do that as a teen - anxiety attacks are horrible!
