Mom with a mental disorder took to many pills( sorry it's long)
So last night I got a message from my dad saying my mom was taken to the hospital by ambulance but wouldn't tell me why. I knew what had happened but my dad wouldn't tell me mind you I'm 24. My mom is bipolar and she currently went of her medicine which she does every now and then even though she knows she can't because it sends her into a DEEP depression. So last night she took a bunch of pills idk what kind but it was bad enough that our hospital shipped her to a bigger one and she is now on a ventilator and not awake my dad is a hot mess and to add to all of it I'm 34 weeks pregnant and have been taking care of my little brothers because they are having a hard time. I am now having contractions because of all of the stress. I don't even know exactly what to feel to be honest I have times where I just bawl then there are times I'm so angry with her. I know she can't help it when she isn't on her medication but I'm also made because he therapist tells her she can handle going off of her meds and this is what happens just never this bad. I hate her therapist and if I had her number I'd call her and give her a piece of my mind. Having somebody in your life that has a mental disorder is had but I love my mom more than anyone I just hope she gets better soon and gets real help. We need to help these people with mental disorders that it's ok to have to take meds if you can't handle it on your own and that it's ok to ask for and get help it doesn't make you a weak person.
