My brain is fried

Permanent Linkby flowingtears on Thu Feb 09, 2012 8:27 pm

My brain is fried. 3 nights in a row taking antihistamines to get high/hallucinate. Tonight will be the 4th night. I'm sort of walking around in a daze all day, and having random mild hallucinations now and then. I don't mind it though.

I hallucinated one of my cats talking to me this morning. That was pretty cool actually.

Turns out it wasn't just one type of antihistamine my body reacts negatively to. A high dose of any antihistamine makes my body swell up and little blisters appear.

My 14 year old sister was home from the hospital for a couple of hours today. Apparently she told her psychiatrist she wanted to buy paracetamol while she was out, so every time she left the room, my mother freaked out and ran after her. I informed my sister that paracetamol causes a slow painful death from liver failure. I told her aspirin can mess up her hearing, and that both aspirin and ibuprofen can cause internal bleeding. Oh, what a hypocrite I am (apart from paracetamol, I never touch that stuff when I overdose). I suppose I could have told her not to do it or whatever, but I figure she has enough people doing that, and she may as well know what the possible consequences of certain actions are.

Therapist tomorrow.

Hey FlowingTears,

I hate to bug you but I think you responded really poorly when your sister said that she was thinking of killing herself. I think you should have said something like "[Sister's name] I really love and care about you and I don't want you to get hurt or die. Please don't. If you want to talk about it just give me call and we'll talk about what's going on."

Your sister really needs your support now and reminding her of how slow, painful and ineffective overdosing on medication can be as a means to kill yourself is just cold and hurtful.

I know your hurting FT but you still gotta be the Big Sis.
