That's really bad. It was pretty impossible for us to save up any medication while in hospital as they would check your mouth :eek:

Quite a posh place then Ethel.

I really hope that she's OK and hasn't done anything serious to her liver.

yeah CC.. I wonder about her hormones too, she's 16 and just started getting periods, which are very heavy and every 2 weeks... but she had some tests and an ultrasound an they said it's all fine

She's also sposed to have an eeg at some point but she needs to go 7 days without meds for it to be accurate and so far that hasn't happened soo..

Apparenlty they've mentioned putting her on diazepam and risperidone, not sre what they are, gonna ahve to check and see..

That is quite late starting and too frequent.

Does she have endometriosis? I had it severely and I went the other way, going up to 6 weeks cycle and really bad PMS for the two weeks overdue waiting. I started young at 11 and it changed me into a very depressive person from a fun loving child.

I went on the pill to regularise them and it really screwed me up - making me have violent tendencies and a temper from hell! My family were !!!!!! to me and lost all my mates and I used to keep very quiet at work so I could keep my job. I was bullied emotionally by schoolmates at school, so I have big (mis)trust issues and when I feel upset, I lash out.

Right now, I live with two males who have the empathy of a woodlouse. Basically, if I behave myself, they will be OK to me, otherwise I am judged and condemned. Yet my son gets away with murder, I am not given an inch.

I am sick of the double standards I experience and can't wait to get my own place, I have just had my dinner after a 2 hour row with my husband for not standing up for me when my son upset me, he thought he was behaving OK and I was unreasonable. My husband's love is conditional, I keep within the boundaries, I will be treated OK, if I am too happy or ill or tired, I get a hard time and told I am unreasonable and that means I can be mistreated by his as he judges me to not be reasonable.

The last two years have revealed many faults in our relationship, I blamed it on the hormones but I have had unreasonable so called caring people around me.

It has turned into an essay and not trying to hijack the thread but saying how hormones can affect every area in a profound way.

Your signature is so true Ethel - needing love most when you seem to deserve it the least - my family should note that!

Hiya RBK.. it seems she's been saving them up for a while and also, I've checked the house and she'd found my hiding place and took some meds from here too

Yep, it's an adolescent unit, its actually part of the priory so its really creme de la creme.. or supposed to be

I dont know yet what's going to happen, she's still in the A&E, and you know how slow they can be there.. they're waiting on bloods at the mo. So we;ll see.

Trouble is, she's putting terrible strain on her liver each time, and she's done it so often that its possible she can do real harm very easily :eek:

I'll give them another ring in a little while and see if there's any more news but its horrible just sitting here waiting

It can't be a very secure place if she can get hold of meds. The Priory is a 'resting' place for celebs and they charge a lot to get away from fans.

I bet you wish they could work out why she has such need to hurt herself, what is bothering her

yeah, but they said evreyting is ok in there.. so I dunno.. shes not taking anythng hormonal, the pill or anything.

She's always been a challenge, even when she was tiny, one of those kids that never sleeps.. walked early, talked rarly, seemed to know too much, if that makes sense? always afraid of missing anything.. as she got older, she got more n more difficult and the last 5 years have been a nightmare, and now she's taller than me its even worse! She's made it almsot impossible for me to hold down a job or even keep up my studies. I hate being unproductive, I dont like being stuck at home but I have so many interruptions and disruptions it's impossible.

my mums friend had troubles with her hormones she was a psycho half the time, once she had a hsyterterctomy she was a lot better but still very flighty and quick to jump n take things the wrong way, that's the only experience i have of hormone troubles, guess I've been lucky cos the only thing I have is PCOS

Just spoke to the hospital, she's ok, hadn't take enuff to do serious damage so they've given her some antidote stuff on a drip and letting her sleep it off

This is an adolescent unit, but its run by the same ppl who do the celeb one. The PCT is paying £2500 per day for her to be in there :eek: I do wish they'd figure it out but if daughter won't open up and talk to them then I guess their hands are tied

And the meds.. it's my fault she got them because they were prescribed by our gp while she was at home for those 2 weeks and I thought she had taken them but she was obviously spitting them out afterwards and saving them.
