All alone

Okay, so family is on vacation and I drove up separately because I knew it would probably end up in a bad situation.  My conclusion was that if it was as bad as I was expecting, I would at least be able to drive myself home.  Well, I ran out of Adderall (adderrall) on the drive home after a horrendous time (read my post about PTSD if you want to know in more detail).  It was my foster father driving with my foster mother and his mother.  I asked them if they could drive me and they said no, which I thought was silly because my grandmother drives her own car.  I was falling asleep at the wheel and actually ended up driving into the cement median.  They thought drinking coffee would keep me awake.  I drank like, twelve cups and I told them they just didn't understand and that it wasn't safe, but did they care?  

Narcolepsy is serious.  Why don't people take it more seriously???  Scratch that.  Why don't people think any mental issue is serious?  Or any disorder???

Hi there,

I'm sorry to hear about your family! I can see how this could be stressful on you when you're going through difficult times.

I agree with you entirely. Narcolepsy is a serious issue as are many disorders. Lots of them go unnoticed and people are left struggling for understanding and for help.

However, I am straining to find a way to help you. I'm not certain what your question is about - You seem to just be talking about a serious issue, but it seems like you aren't looking for any particular help or answers. Could you divulge? I am interested in your issues and I would like to help out.

It isn't that I'm not willing to spill, I just don't want to put it in the forums.  You can read my journals.  They explain what happened.  Or we can email since there's a character limitation.
