Had to leave in a hurry.....

by jennifer819, Jul 23, 2008 07:05PM
just wanted to let all the people who came online a few days ago when i was not feeling so good. i had to drive out to my moms because i did not know what else to do. i spilled everything to her and to why i was taking so many between all the constant pain i am in and i guess i started stuffing my feelings after alot of hurt over the past couple of years. i have alot of health issues and can barely walk around. not sure if this is the place to vent but i have no friends or other family members for support. i lost a boyfriend, my two best friends and the so called family i had because none of them believed me that i am so ill. even my doctor is at a loss for words.....everywhere i would go someone would get tired of taking care of me or get tired of helping me. a person can only take so much. well now my mom let loose and let me have it because now she only thinks i have a drug problem. i got refills of my meds today and she took them from me. she can have them just to prove to her that i am upset because i have no where to live and cannot work then think all i want is a pill....she even took my car because she has been paying for it until i get approved for disability. all i have been doing since i got home is cry, i cannot even think straight. and to top it all off, my tv has been disconnected. i feel so alone i cannot stand it anymore. she was the last person that i thought i could trust, she has been so abusive to me since i got there, it brough back all the memories of growing up with a very abusive mother......

i am, was on percocet, vicodin, ativan, tramadol and neurontin all prescribed by doctors for legit reasons. i only started overdoing them a few months ago, it's all a big blur, but now i can see why i did it.
