I'm addicted to my medication. Some pills from a psychiatric doctor that I take every day.
Now someone has broken into my house and has been stealing my medication.
I don't know what I should do.
My families support is non existent.

Dear NickB~
Welcome back to the Forum, a good place to seek advice. I'm sorry you have so many hassles, worry over medication supply is no small thing , neither is the fact of the theft. I"m sorry your family does not offer you support - is it just they do not care?
Having two problems for your medication is serious. There is the short term problem of missing your daily dose and the longer one of replacement of the missing meds and keeping your medication safe in the future
I guess the best course of action is to explain the problem to your psychiatrist and talk over solutions. As your meds have been stolen you should b able ot convince them the matter is urgent.
As for reporting the theft to the police, I'd suggest waiting and seeing what your psychiatrist has to say.
