Just bummed out
Daughter is in her 30s, has always had, shall we say, a tenuous grip on reality. She lost her sister, my daughter, to suicide 4 1/2 years ago. Last year she developed auditory hallucinations about being harassed by a neighbor, being threatened with murder, killing her dog, telling her she’s ugly etc. She also has a chronic illness for several years now for which she has become habituated to opioids and takes ADHD medication. Believe it or not I don’t think she abuses these, but she is dependent on them. And they may also be causing her psychosis. Using the leap method. Just so hard to watch her struggle and am bummed out. We support her and her apartment, which I’m forever grateful she has.
Thanks for the vent.
