TW for medical stuff, alcohol

[(Anonymous)]

So I'm in the ER with my mom, who was headed to rehab this morning. I was home doing tax stuff and wanted to take a break, so I brought her her coat and some markers because she had a 4 hour wait for her ride. And found her unconscious outside. When I went inside to ask about her, they thought she'd been picked up already. She's so drunk I'm afraid she might die, she has liver cancer and cirrhosis and I didn't even manage to file a tax extension for either of us. I'm so pissed at the addiction center staff; the ER techs and nurses were all asking why she was left alone with her wallet for hours with no one watching her and I'm like good fucking question. I'm terrified and I have.a quiz tomorrow. They just took her for a CT scan and she couldn't even say goodbye. I hope she lives, the rehab staff were gonna try and hold the bed. I don't know if I could handle her dying right now, I'm taking 20 units and working 20 hours a week and i just have no reserves left. I've never drank in my life but I want a drink now, I feel like I'm gonna puke.

I'm so, so sorry you're going through this. I think you should tell your teachers that you have a family/medical emergency and need some time off to take care of yourself.

Ignore the first anon commenting, Jesus

I'm so sorry. My only advice, and it's stupid and corny, is take a breath and s l o w d o w n. I know it's almost impossibly hard, but it's what you need to do. Everything will happen, one thing at a time, and all you can do is your best to meet it as it does. There are people, at school, at the hospital, and in your life, who you can ask to support you here. Right now, just do one thing at a time. Tunnel vision is good for crises, in its way.

I'm so, so, so sorry you're going through this <3

Yeah, first anon in the thread is a fucking childfree asshole.

Good luck. I'm so sorry this has been happening to you, it sounds like a nightmare.

Re: TW for medical stuff, alcohol

Don't have a drink.

It really sucks that you're going through this. Is it possible to talk to a couple of your professors and ask if you can work out some arrangement due to a family emergency?

Re: TW for medical stuff, alcohol

[(Anonymous)]

Seconding both pieces of advice. Under the circumstances they should be understanding.

Re: TW for medical stuff, alcohol

[dethtoll]

Oh man. As someone who lost a parent recently I really feel you on this.

I suggest you talk to your professors about this -- most of them should be pretty understanding.

(Now is not a good time to learn how to drink by the way. Drink to celebrate, not to medicate.)

I am so sorry you're going through this. :(

Don't drink. Is there anyone you can call for support while you're there? A relative, a friend?

Re: TW for medical stuff, alcohol

[(Anonymous)]

I'm so sorry, anon. Don't have a drink and take deep breaths. Hugs if you want them and I hope your mom will be okay.

That all sounds really rough. It's really baffling and frustrating that she was left in that situation given where she was going. Have you spoken to anyone about what's happening at the moment to see if you can at least have some support and maybe some help with scheduling your coursework and exams?

It's just an awful thing to be dealing with and I wish that I could do anything at all to help you. I really hope that you are able to find a (healthy) way to take some of the pressure off yourself and that your circumstances improve. I hope your mum wasn't too harmed by what happened earlier, too.

OP--thanks for the well-wishes; my professors already know, mostly. I'll have a couple incompletes; this is an ongoing problem. I wonder if I can get a Drs note for the IRS? I was gonna file extensions for myself and my mom, but I won't be out of here in time. That's what I get for procrastinating. I can't do taxes from my phone.

I'm so, so sorry. That's awful. I'm sending all the hugs and positive thoughts your way.
