Well, she refused to go to the hospital. She is ok, I guess.
Actually, she's terrable (long before the double dose). She cries all day, and complains about how she can't sleep. I should be more sympathetic, but I'm not. My brain is just tired of hearing it. I want to tell her to shut up, but obviosly I don't.
She just keeps taking pills. She'll down all of her psych meds, and then take a number of tylenol. What really gets me is that she started drinking beer a month ago. She has never drunk beer in some 55 years of her life, and all of a sudden now.."it calms me down". WTF.
She listens to none of my suggestions.
She complains that she feels unneeded, but then she won't even make the slightest atempt to help out around the house. She won't even cary her dinner plate from the table to the dishwasher.
Its funny, one day last month, she forgot all of her meds. She slept the entire night without waking once, and then some. She's past the point of no return, its not going to be pretty.
I know that all of the meds she is taking are simply messing up her sleeping patterns.
Sorry for the vent.
