hey,
im totally panicing!! my dad has just rung me, hes in work on nights, I dont live at home I havnt for around 4 years now, but I still use the same family doctors, the practise nurse is lovely and so understanding about my Self harm and doesnt mind dressing cuts at any time, plus my GP is lovely and non judgemental, I have a hard time with new people so sisne I still live in the same area, just a bit futher up I felt no need to change,
Because ive this ive always stayed registered at my parents address, my postcode is out of the area, but because its only a ten minute drive and I was nervous about having to see all new medics ( as most u bad experiences with the medical profession before) Anyway a while ago I had a massive breakdown and crisis team where involved ect, my CPN went to put my perscirption in for me at the local chemist by the doctors as I wasnt feeling up for it, and then when it was collected they were missing some of my anti psycotics.
With all that was going on I totally forgot to pick to left overs up and have just carried on putting my normal perscription in, but my dad has jsut rung me, he went to get his own medication today and because I hadnt collected them they gave him MY left over meds, apparently from july!!!!!!
My parents dont know im on meds, they dont know I still cut, or that im still under CMHT, they couldnt cope with it when they found out when i was 16, im 22 now and I have done my best to put on a face to them! to show im fine, and always said im off the meds and arnt involved in any of that stuff anymore!!!!!
My mum is likely to open the package, she will want to rummage through and know whats going on, and then use it at a later date against me ( shes been preety abusive in the past with things) Im totally panicing, what if they find out im back on meds?!? they are guna freak they are guna try to dig out any info they can on me...... they are guna use it against me!! im totally freaking out !!! HELP!!

My surgestion is just if comes to the point they bring it up and you have to deal with it, face it head on, Tell them that you've been going threw a diffcult patch or something and your doing the RIGHT thing by going to the GP and still taking medication, and if they have a hard time processing that (which they might) just say that you didnt want to put them threw that situation when you were handling it the best you could.
I hope that this helps and maybe try not to think about it too much, some times we spend most the time worrying about things which never seem to be so bad.
Let me know how it turns out, Hugs

Reason: wanted to add a hug
A pharmacy or chemist can provide multiple prescriptions under the same address and will offer pick up for another person from the same address.
I pick up my parents and they pick up my medications.
It is a problem if you are keeping the same address though. Do the Drs know you have moved? Perhaps they can issue the prescription with your actual address on it?
As it is something you do not want known though, it is worth speaking to the chemist/pharmacy and stipulating that you do not want them to do this - If need be, explain what you have here - and state that you wish to keep your condition confidential. They will then have it on their records to say that.
If the Human brain were so simple that we could understand it, we would be so simple that we wouldn't.
hey thanks for the replies,
I understand what you guys are saying but believe me telling them isnt an option, ive spoken to my CPN today, she has agreeded with me that my parents finding out wouldnt be for the best, she has suggested that I say to my parents that I had been perscribed them for sleep, and she said that we will talk about how to handle my mum, she knows this will be used against me probably to try and disown me in some way,
she also said that she will write to the chemist and complain as i am over 16 it is illegal to hand out my medication reguardless if we are at the same address, ive calmed down alot thankfully, even if my legs took the worst of it last night, but thanks for all the support x
