Lifes a bitch, so am I

A few days ago I took an overdose not to die, just not to have to deal with life right then. An ambulance was called and I was later told I was unresponsive when the paramedics arrived.
I was discharged the next morning, still feeling the effects, OK but guilty because my mum was worried. (I previously ended up in a ventilator in intensive care).
So I go to take my night medication, along with my bought sleeping tablet and the whole lot has gone!
I searched high and low, even going through my bin to ensure I hadn't misplaced them. Probably about £100 worth!
The only logical explanation is they've gone looking in my drawers and found them and taken them without my consent and disposed of.
When I noticed I phoned the hospital to ask if they had them, being told that any medication left would go to pharmacy and be destroyed. That I need to ring my Dr for the medication. I explained I'd bought these meds but got the same reply.
I buy them now because the Dr won't prescribe them as the laws have changed, yet my insomnia and anxiety is a continuous battle.
I don't know if they have the right to do this in the UK?
Has anyone else had this happen?
I have plenty of other medications in the same drawer, so I just can't get my head around it.
I'm frustrated as I'm in debt with it and feel like I'm losing my mind, questioning where they'd be.
I'm sorry for rambling on.
This year has just been a shit storm of loss and grief and sometimes it gets too much.
My Nan died beginning of Jan funeral in February. I had a missed miscarriage (all I ever wanted was to be a mum, and I kept safe) beginning of Feb. I found out in December my friend was told she had terminal cancer and she passed away march, with her funeral in April.
I think being single the blow to losing the pregnancy is more severe as I can't just try again. I've been referred for IVF, no idea if they will allow it now and even my mum said she don't feel I could cope, what if I do it then as I leave my dogs and cat. All I can say to her is I just know I'll get through it, I have that reason.
I can understand what's she's saying and thinking. I've thought about it too.
I've gone off topic now. Thank you if you've stay and read it all ❤
