Sometimes I feel so helpless. My sister let all her birds go and she loved her birds because I think she's having a nervous breakdown. She cries all the time and wants to quit living. I think it's her medication and have pressed her to go see her dr right away. I took her to the hospital but they couldn't help much, just referred her to a mental health person to talk to. She had expensive birds! Finches that cost $80 each, Lovebirds, a Canary, other Finches, Parakeets... she just opened the cases and let them all fly away!!! If I had known she was going to do this, I would've taken them and kept them until she felt better. And she has a greenhouse full of plants that she's loved dearly for years... She won't let me go out and water them. Says she's going to have a friend back his truck up and take them all away.. Every day i'm afraid to call her but I do and all she does is cry about everything she can think of. That her dog is going to die, her son doesn't need her anymore, her house is depressing, everything.. I know this must be a chemical problem.. She was dependent on pain killers because she is very obese and her knees hurt. When she realized she was dependent on them, she quit taking them all at once and then decided to quit taking her Prozac too. I think this thru her to a chemical imbalance... I'm afraid i'm going to get a call that she's done something horrible to herself.. I pray I can figure out WHAT to do! Please pray with me.. THANK YOU!

1|1|Have you talked to her son?|BusterBrown|srfreezerqueen@hotmail.com|12:20:03|05/30/2011|
has he been in contact with her? 2|1|Her son|destiny|destinyroger@yahoo.com|12:29:31|05/30/2011|
Her son lives with her and has mental issues. He is "slow" and is a problem. She has coddled him all his life so that he won't take responsibility for anything. He has a license but gives me excuses why he can't drive her to the hospital himself yet he drives all over everywhere else. He won't help her at home either and on and on... he's not a help. She loves him dearly though and has gotten to the point where she panics until he comes home.. Its just a bad situation all around. I can't depend on him much. The other day I was in the mountains doing something and had to drive two hours home to take her to the hospital when he could've done it himself. Yesterday he called me during bingo and I refused this time. I told him to take her himself or i'd come over to sit with her and talk to her after bingo but I was NOT going to take her to the hospital when all they do is tell her to make an appointment with a therapist.

3|1|I just called her|destiny|destinyroger@yahoo.com|12:34:09|05/30/2011|
She's going to call her dr first thing tomorrow and try to get in to see him. I'm sure she needs to take her Prozac again or something.. And she found out that there's a mental health van that parks in town once a week. She's going to check into that... gosh... when she feels better and I pray she will feel better, she's going to get depressed because she let all her birds go.. I hope I can find something positive to tell her about that!!!

4|1|I believe you are right when you say....|melpaul|Melpaul199@aol.com|13:15:51|05/30/2011|
Its her medicene or because she stopped her medice she needs to be on them Is she married have a husband or mother or yourself
and call the dr. and intervine tell them your worried if you can do this
Please I know I am right here
5|1|I am going to follow up|destiny|destinyroger@yahoo.com|13:26:38|05/30/2011|
Yes I know you and I are both right that it has to be her meds because none of this started happening until she quit the pain killers and the Prozac. She's a widow, 63 years old and her son lives with her. Our mom passed away years ago in fact, both mom and her husband passed away within two weeks of eachother... That in itself was a blow.. but anyway, I am going to call her tomorrow for a "follow up" to MAKE SURE she called her dr. AND found out about how she can get into the mental health facility here. Thanks for your replies!!! It helps to share these things with people who care and are understanding:)

Its a terrible feeling to care and love someone so much but you feel you are inadequate in helping. I am not a dr or a psychiatrist. I am only a sister.. :( I will keep on her every day and will not miss a phone call and am telling myself I will make a point to try to get her out more, to go see her more and do what I can.. Thanks for ALL your prayers and thoughts.. It means a lot to me to have "back up":)

Please identify yourself in 1st email w/name/username. Due to recent problem trades, if I haven't traded w/you before, I will probably require you send your end 1st or I'll need LEGIT trade references/feedback. I will be happy to provide the same. IF you plan to hold your end til you've received mine, I will need to know that IMMEDIATELY, BEFORE trade is finalized.
13|1|A card shower would be nice but...|destiny|destinyroger@yahoo.com|17:31:43|05/30/2011|
You know what, she'd probably get VERY upset at me if she found out you all knew. She's a very private person. So, THANK YOU for the thought:)

15|3|Do you live close enough to go to the doc with her? She may not be entirely truthful when answering the docs questions. She needs help!!! And sometimes it is embarrassing to NEED help and ask for it. If you can go with and be SURE she doesn't downplay her issues. I am NO PROFESSIONAL....but it sounds to me like a short stay in the hospital psyche ward would help get her meds figured out and get her on the road to beng safe. There is no shame in that. Good luck!|Barb09|Barb0969@AOL.com|17:39:16|05/30/2011|
I looked and looked and found no coupons for troll food......SO, I don't feed the trolls!! 16|1|I will call her and ask|destiny|destinyroger@yahoo.com|17:45:29|05/30/2011|
Thanks for the suggestion.. I'll call her and ask her if she wants me to go with her. Her son will take her if it's in town but I can let her know I can take her and go in with her. She actually wanted to go to the phyc ward but so far, she can't find anybody to admit her. The two times lately she's been to the ER because we couldn't get her to stop crying, they just have a mental worker come in an talk to her.

11 yeasrs ago, when my husband first came down with we later found out was dystonia, of the neck. We went from doctor to doctor, to specialist, and no one had any advice. Only one doctor was at least able to diagnos him. In that process he became VERY depressed, so much so, I was fearing, he could take his own lifr. I made an appointment with his general physician, for myself. Then when I had the doctors undivided attention, laid all the cards on the table. He took action right away, jumping through hoops to get my husband IN to see a top neuroligist in the state. Who was finally able to treat him, and remains his doctor until this day. So yes, sometimes you do need to help point the doctors in the right direction.
To this day, my husband has no idea I had done that for him. I hope for everyones sake, you are able to get some treatment for her. Donna
