Have you ever felt helpless?! I feel SO helpless right now.... My fav aunt, is a WONDERFUL woman. She has a sorted past (as well as depression), and has managed to over come the obstacles! Last year, about this time, the stress of life caught up with her. She admitted she had an addiction to pills, and sought help. She ended up in a psychiatric unit for about a month. Lately, she has been having some trouble with her room mates ( her bio son & his GF) She calls me late on night, upset about something that has happened. Last-night she called and admitted to me that she has been drinking, excessively. And she recently injured her back at work, and was prescribed a pain killer (the same one she had a addiction to last year!!) I am really worried about her mental stability. I don't know that there is anything I can do for her that I haven't already done. (listening, and offering support) Please just say a little prayer for her! Thanks gals!! I appreciate it.

Psych assessment question 101: Is she a danger to herself or others?
If you had to stop to think about that question then the answer is yes and you need to bring her into the emergency room for treatment.
