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.

If you're on that kind of medication, obviously you see a psychiatrist and/or therapist. Either call or during your next appointment, tell them what your mom did, so they can counsel her about why it's important for you to take that medication.

I'm sorry. That's horrible and dangerous of your mother. Unless they were emergancy pills (such as lorazepam or klonopin) you shouldn't quit daily medication cold turkey. It could be really bad on your body.

Scratching until you bleed is a side effect of a crack addiction. Maybe you and your mother should have the drug talk. It seems to be an issue.

Anxiety attacks are a very serious thing you ignorant twit. Do you think Op scratches herself for the hell of it or the sympathy. Its no wonder that mental illnesses are still stygmatised with people like you around.
