Advice? Serious answers only. Thank you.

Just a few minutes ago my Mom had done something terribly bad. She took all of her sleeping pills. [Pretty much all of them.] She has cases of her trying to do this and have been seeking a physiologist.
I am trying to get my family to see counseling after seeing this event. Is there anything I can do to get rid of these horrid memories? Thank you.

You're a dick. Grow up.

Painter, I won't go into full detail but my mother doesn't like help. We've tried and tried so many times. I do know that she'll be sent to the Pavilion for a good 1-2 weeks. I also do know that she will take this medication that she'll probably throw up for a good ten hours. This is just to flush the pills that she had smashed up and drank.

Now you're being a bigger prick than I was.
This concerns innocent people's lives, yet you poke fun at it.

@Topic
I suggest you go see a professional, like the doctor who prescribed her this, or Poison Control.
 
Honestly I think that although you are in the middle of this in one way or another it will make you stronger and it will open your eyes to reality of life. Most people who have this preblem dont think they need help but they really do have you tried an intervention yet? If so mabey you should try again and one day she will come to her sences and realize how much she is hurting you nd your family.I know these memories may seem bad right now but they may prevent you from makeing the same mistake she did in the future... This is just my opinion and I hope it helps (:

Poison Control? I'm not the one who was poisoned. My father is currently talking to a Nurse about this.

@Rhonda
Thanks. : -)
 
It would probably be best to seek outside professional help. This is a serious situation and you should try to help her whether she wants it or not.

You go see a professional about your mother.
Is she feeling not well?
 
Getting rid of the pills will cause her to find other alternatives, bad idea. Now, what you may be able to do is try and find some sugar pills that look similar that she can take. Use them as a placebo. Eventually she'll wean herself off of them.
 
Okay, keep in mind, this is a last resort/pretty stupid idea. Maybe, if you do something similar/something that endangers you (but nothing too serious, because obviously you don't want to do any extreme damage to yourself), and then she will react along the lines of, "What the hell are you doing!? Do you have any idea how much this hurts me? I love you, and don't want to lose you." And then you could say, "Yeah, well you're doing the same thing." Yeah, that idea is probably not that great. Maybe you could sit and have a talk with her, tell her how you are feeling. Or if talking isn't really your guy's thing, you could write her a letter. Words can mean a lot. Good luck and I hope everything works out.
 
There's really only very few things you can do for this.. besides a mental institution for a short time. That actually may be the best option.
 
report the post and move on, guys.

i think ZR's idea is probably the cheapest, easiest, most sensible solution for the problem.
if she DOES need help, you and your family members need to get her the help she needs, since there is obviously a problem. if she can't be helped, there are always more grim/life changing options such as special care facilities/homes, but that is obviously not something to take lightly.

if she is in danger as of this post, get her to the hospital, pump the drugs out, however. immediate safety = first.

really hope everything turns out alright. best of luck.
