I feel like leaving home

DD15 nearly 16 has been very difficult( think drugs, police, violence etc) she has been so good the last few months though.

However, in order to keep the peace I have found myself tiptoeing around her. Thinking twice about what I say , being careful not to even bloody sigh as it can set her off into a screaming fit. I'm sitting here tonight thinking ' what the bloody hell am I doing ?' I'm fed up of walking on egg shells just to keep her happy. She asked me if I thought silver hair would suit her. My reply was 'Weeeeell I'm not sure if it would' cue shouting and screaming that I don't care and I think her hair is shit.

I can't carry on like this. I want to leave home( yes seriously ) and see how she gets on without me.

I have to go, DS3 has woken for his formula, I really think you should seek some urgent medical advice from NHS Direct or your OOH GP number.

I agree, that's an awful lot of tablets. Please let us know that you're ok.

Merel · 01/02/2014 03:08

Hope you are ok OP. I know things seem dire at the moment, but your daughter is really young and apparently has some troubles. Many teens go through tough times, unrelated to their upbringing and their parents choices, but most of them come through ok. There's every chance that you and your DD will get through this eventually and have a normal relationship. Please don't give up now. I wish you lots of strength for the time being, and I am sure it will get better x

Doin, you are looking after your daughter - you have demonstrated throughout this thread that you are doing the VERY best you can for her, and for you.
Please please call Out of Hours doc to check that you haven't taken too many sleeping pills. Please do this.

I know, sweetie, you must be so tired and fed up of it all :-( I get that. But we are worried that you may have taken a few too many pills.
If you fall asleep too deeply, you might not wake when the phone rings tomorrow.
Can you at least get someone to stay with you tonight?

Merel · 01/02/2014 04:22

The point is, if she doesn't need you at this moment, she is going to need you when she snaps out of this.

Stay with us OP, try not to despair, things always sort themselves out in the end.

WynkenBlynkenandNod · 01/02/2014 07:16

Doin, are you awake? Merel's totally right. She might not be here now but she will be and she very much needs you to stay strong for her, though it's incredibly hard. You've done really well with very little support. However hard, you have to hang in there.

Have you any local friends who know what's going on?

EmmaGellerGreen · 01/02/2014 09:18

Doin?

HolidayArmadillo · 01/02/2014 09:59

Doin I come to this late but I hope you are safe.

flow4 · 01/02/2014 12:03

Oh shit Doin, are you ok?
I'm hoping you are just having a really, really good sleep. Post as soon as you can.

I take Zopiclone 7.5 mg on prescription.

My usual dose is half a tab and that knocks me out for 6 hours. Takes 10 15 mins to have an effect.

Depending on the strength of the tablets, if she has taken 8 she could be out for a very long time and will be very groggy when she wakes.

I don't think this is a fatal dose but could be very bad if she has taken them with alcohol.

Travelledtheworld · 01/02/2014 14:37

Just checked an 20 7.5mg of Zopiclone can be a fatal dose.

Travelledtheworld · 01/02/2014 14:42

Doin when you wake up you are going to feel very rough.
Do not attempt to drive anywhere or make any decisions.

You must speak to a doctor as soon as you can and get checked over. Zopiclone can have a bad effect on your heart and respiratory system.

It is also very addictive so you MUST NOT get another prescription. After a while it will lose its effectiveness and it will not work anyway.

Please can you find someone to talk to ? Ask your GP for a referral to a counselling service or I suggest you call the Samaritans .

I am very worried about you Doin. Please can you let us know that you are ok?

Travelledtheworld · 01/02/2014 17:32

I keep checking in but with that dose of Zopiclone she could be out for 12 to 16 hours.

WynkenBlynkenandNod · 01/02/2014 17:52

Doin when you wake up and eventually see this please could you quickly post, just one word will do, even though I'm sure it will be the last thing you feel like doing.

Please do listen to travelledtheworld and don't drive or make any decisions.
