    Howdy peeps.. am not long back from the hospital.... :rolleyes:

    Daughter took an overdose last night in the street.. passing ambulance picked her up and took her to A&E sooo...... she's in again for the weekend. She got quite aggressive and nasty to me this evening in the ward and then took a bundle of paper out of her bag and ran off to the toilets... I immediately was suspicious, got a nurse and we got into the toilet and found something resembling a butcher's shop window.. turns out she'd stolen a used needle from the sharps box last night in the A&E dept and was using that.. so now she's got to be tested for HIV and the various Hepatitis things n that..... arrgghhh - it just never seems to stop :(

    I'm bloody knackered.. been up since 5ish yesterday morning.. think tonight might be a 2 pill job if I dare.. I'm scared in case the hospital needs to get me n I don't hear the phone tho :/

    Hugs to everyone xxxxxxxxxxx

    Ethel,I think it is you that needs the hugs tonight! what a hard time you are having,you must be shattered.Hope you manage to get some sleep tonight.It must be really hard for you when your daughter is nasty and agressive but you must try and remember that it is her illness making her like that.I would have thought they would make sure needles ect are well out of the way in A&E some of the things i have read on here have realy suprised me.Try not to worry too much,easier said than done i know.Thinking of you .((((((hugs))))))

    Ethel,

    I am so sorry for what you and your daughter are going through.
    I feel powerless in the face of such a horrible situation.
    My thoughts and wishes are with you at this time.
    Take Care of yourself in all of this.

  • Hi guys, morning et cetera.

    Just reading about the AD's, Its absolute hell when you first start on them, its absolutely horrible, I was emotional but trying to deal with that and everything else in my life. But I knew I would come out of the other side eventually, which I have now hopefully.

    However you need to stick on AD's until they start to work but ensure that you keep going to the doctor's because you stay on them until 6 months after you are ok and things, and even then you are weaned off them. But dont do what I did and come off them straight away, its terrible and plays absolute havoc with your system. But my advice would be its very hard but worth sticking on them,
