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.

I dont get it. Where i come from anxiety attacks are almost unheard of. You people live such priviledged lives that your minds have to invent various forms of strife. Down here we too busy trying to get by to be bothered by anxiety.

call county social workers office & tell them. they will explain it to her in a way she'll have to understand

-head+desk- dope is not even close to a viable alternative to prescribed medications. weed and alcohol make me hallucinate, which wigs me out and aggravates my mood disorders. i can't just stop taking my meds - i would likely end up dying.

DAAAAAMN girl what the hell have yo been smoking? no but seriously scratch your arms till you bleed? emo much?

Wow. I feel so badly for you, OP. I know you'll probably face a ton of uneducated people in your life who just don't believe that you have anxiety and that you need that medicine, but I hope it helps to see that so many people here know what you're going through. There are plenty of people in the world who understand and can explain the need for you to take ALL prescribed meds to her, from your pharmacist to your doctor to the nurses and even school counselors. Having people not believe you sucks. I have fibromyalgia, fatigue, severe arthritis, and used to have depression. People in my life have told me I'm making it up and that my fatigue is laziness and my pain is in my head, even as I have had to undergo years of treatment starting at 14. You just have to keep your chin up and utilize what resources you have- for you, the most important is your pharmacist or doctor. I wish you all the best in life.

I've almost killed people who've told me it was all in my head.. Wait, that doesn't sound right...

You can call social services and have them intervene. with a severe anxiety condition like that, it's considered abuse to take away needed medication.
