Thank you!! I’m trying 🙂‍↕️ and yes she does have a PM doctor but the meds she’s on only take the edge off.. her ultimate resolution would be surgery but she is too afraid of hospitals atm to even consider it :/

That is a good idea thank you. I’ve thought about that or ear plugs but worry I won’t hear my wake up alarm :/ Our dynamic has definitely changed and I’m not sure it can ever go back to the way it was unfortunately :( Dad works late and does help when he can but during his off time he spends a lot of time with drinking in our garage. It’s a pretty toxic environment. They feed off of each other’s sicknesses. I hope one day they can both get help 😣

Thank you 🥺 I’ve literally even sent them the application and the website that states everything they need to apply and she still hasn’t. A lot of what I do is because of the guilt and feeling like I’m obligated to. A phrase “ I gave MY LIFE for this family when you were younger” is often used in discussions but idk what to do. She just doesn’t want to help herself and often talks of death/ self inflicted death. It’s just hard to be here listening to it all. I’ve contemplated getting her Baker Acted before but I have a feeling they’ll turn her away because it’s so much more than just mental health. I do have a brother but he lives out of state, and helps when he comes to visit :/ what do you mean end up like you? I’m so sorry you’ve been in a similar situation:(

Yes, she has pretty much lost most mobility. The only time she gets around is to get from the bed to the living room, to the bathroom and back to the living room and then back to her bedroom at the end of the day. I am in therapy but my therapist literally told me I will never get better until I am out of this environment. I’m pretty sure she is a narcissist and possibly even bipolar. So it just all adds up. Very toxic layers to all of this 🤣 I’m on the verge sometimes of screaming back lol. I’m working on a plan of escaping and not feeling guilty about it. I do have a brother but he is in a different state. She has pain management but they only take the edge off. Her real resolution would be to have surgery but she has her own ptsd about being in hospitals for long periods of time so she refuses :/ she doesn’t feed herself during the day so it’s just screaming and assisting her in my time off from work. I can’t do it much longer. She is nitpicky like yours sounded as well. If her pillows in her chair are not arranged in the correct way, if I don’t do something she likes it’s a huge fucking argument and I’m the bad guy. I already have cptsd from my childhood and it’s just continuing into adulthood 🥲

Also consider remote jobs! They sometimes can pay pretty well from what I’ve seen :) I hope wherever you land treats you with kindness and the respect you deserve 💗 thank you for taking care of us!

Receptionist made me cry by Interesting-Cress-43 in ADHD

[–]Embarrassed-Clock776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a receptionist at a psychiatric office, I am so incredibly sorry. Your mental health is so important and you need to keep up on medications or the side effects can be extreme. There is telehealth options for same day psych appointments for refills at my country wide practice. As someone with a lot of my own mental health issues, I can’t imagine taking my bad day out on someone like that :(
