I know this isn't an AIBU subject, but help pls.
My mum started getting anxious a while back due to lockdown. Was prescribed antidepressants. Got steadily worse over the last few weeks. They've changed her drugs a few times. She's not sleeping, eating, can't wee any more so had a catheter fitted last week. As of yesterday she became manic, suicidal. She got all the tablets in the house, wrote notes etc. My dad found her and stopped her.
Neither of them are doing well. I managed to get them both to take some valium and rest today, so were a little calmer this eve.
She's panicking about the various tablets, in the area we are in you can't see anyone. The GPs won't see people face to face, community nurses won't visit etc. Even the closest private hospital has had most of its wards taken by NHS just in case. She's petrified of travelling in case she gets the virus.
Just the whole thing scares her. I don't know how to reassure her. Whether I should be encouraging her to take these various tablets, what I should be doing. I've looked up the various drugs, but am just lost.
