The past three days my anxiety has been progressively worsening. I have heart problems in addition to anxiety- and of course the much loved anorexia. My dad ( he's my rock ) is leaving today for a whole week, and it's just me and my mom at home. We don't get along at all. She makes sure everything she does hurts me in some way and loves making my life hell- be it taking my meds away, locking away my service dog, stealing my car keys so I can't leave- the works. I need survival techniques. I have debilitating panic attacks that can lead me to begin seizing, and my arrhythmia has progressed into cardiac arrest twice because my anxiety went overboard. Any ideas??

well, call police if she is with holding critical medication....that is a direct threat to your well being and possibly your life. Your mother is a psycho for doing those things...I don't know how old you are....but this is abuse.
I'm 17. Idk, its my word against hers and she'll probably tell them i'm insane or something
They can't just turn you away.. they have to look into it.
You are being abused, call the police or even go to a hospital and tell someone everything that she is doing to you.
I've been to the hospital before on a 51-50 but when i told them she withholds my meds, she just low-key replaced them when someone came to check so they didnt believe me
if youve disclosed these things to mandated reporters (doctors, therapists, social workers etc) they have to by law report it to child services (at least if youre in the US). there are also hotlines you can call childwelfare.gov/organizati...
Please call and get help. I agree with everyone who already replied. If she does anything like that call for help. Do you have a cell phone that records? If so, have it near by to record the interaction. Or video it. That way there is no way she can deny what she is doing. I pray you have some peace this week even with your dad away. Try to lay low and take care of yourself.
Keep your car keys and medicine in a private place that she can't find. You can buy little pouches designed to fit discreetly under your clothes. You can keep the keys & meds there. I think these are made for people who are afraid of being robbed or pick pocketed. You can probably find them on Amazon.
Hi onelittlerose I'm so sorry that you are not getting the support you need from your Mum at this time. Have you been able to address this with her or is there any other family member who can mediate for both of you. I think it's great that you have a wonderful relationship with your dad and he's there for you.
