[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 530160, member: 7170"] thank you for your responses it's a comfort to not feel so alone. I have a call into her MH CM that I need to speak to her and we see her psychiatrist in about an hour, I'm going to talk to her psychiatrist about this as psychiatrist has been with her since she was 6yo. Angel is severe and always going to need someone looking after her (16 psychiatric hospital stays, 4 medical hospital stays). If she misses a dose of psychiatric medications she goes into psychosis that can take weeks inpatient to break, even taking her laxatives she still gets life threatening constipation. I just can't believe I let all this stress get to me. ME the person who doesn't do pity parties & can usually find humor in anything and I feel like I'm falling apart. The stress and exhaustion are really taking their toll and I need to figure a way to snap out of it because these kids really need me to survive a few more years. It's taken over 3 hours to pull myself out of bed - mixture of nausea & exhaustion. I think a call to insurance to find out if they have an urgent care clinic I can run myself thru tonight when things calm down might be a good idea. [/QUOTE]
