OT-Sad about my mom

Lisa I'm sorry about your mom. Mental illness is very furstrating and a sad dz, It's hard to watch a pshyical fit person go down hill and you can't seem to help, but you have done the right thing by letting her go in house for treatment!! Once they get her back on meds and feeling like her oldself she will thank you!! I hope your consult goes without a problem !! I'm sure it will!!! I will keep you and your family in my prayers. God bless, Linda

Thank you Linda for the reply. I do hope we have done the right thing. I really can't wait for the consult. It is 9 days away now. lisa

Thank you Carol for the reply I do appreciate your prayers. lisa

Hi Lisa, I am so glad you posted to this board. Regardless of the fact that this is "OT" I know how much it helps to talk & vent. My mother too has severe depression. She has been on many medications & then starts to feel better & decides it's time for her to stop taking them. This is a woman who has always been outspoken, hard working & practically lived at Wal-Mart, now she hardly ever leaves her house & will go for a week at a time w/o bathing. She has other health problems too & says that she's not depressed she's just "tired", so my sister & I just deal the best we can. I know how hard it is, especially w/our children. We used to go over to my mom's all the time & talked on the phone at least twice a day & now it's so different. She is not the grandmother we expected & she says she doesn't want to be this way, but depression is a hard disease to deal with. It sounds like your mother has a more serious case & hospital care sounds like the best place for her right now. Don't worry about her hating you, she needs help & you cannot help her at this point, you are doing the best thing for her, believe me. I'm glad you reached out for some support, we all need it at various times in our lives & I hope that this board can be somewhere we can all feel comfortable coming to for help whether it be weight related or not.

Thank you for the reply. I seen alot of those symptoms in my mom as well. She used to be very clean and loved going to Wal-Mart as well. She loved bath stuff (good smelly kind!). She loved seeing her grandchildren and tell them to come and hug "their granny". It's seeing a different person. The Mobile Crisis team came in again tonight. They may move her tonight to the psychiatric hospital. They are making sure she stays hydrated. They were going to send her earlier but she got dehydrated again. I guess they will have to get the medicine right. On another note, I have 8 more days till my surgeon consult with Dr. Lindy Hruska Lisa

That sounds great, I hope everything goes well for both of you. Keep us posted & try not to worry too much about your mom (if that's possible). TTYS Candi
