Heidi's Mom Fearful After Mixing Alcohol & Pills

On her blog dated January 29, Darlene Egelhoff - mother of Heidi Montag - writes a shocking entry outlining the night that she “thought might be my last” due to an adverse reaction to sleeping pills while she was drinking alcohol.

Heart palpitations, which she admits to suffering from since childhood, but not at an alarming rate, increasingly got worse leading her to become depressed, she claims.

“I have been literally tortured with chronic insominia [sic], not allowing people to sleep is a form of torture used in the military.

“I have been not sleeping for even one minute for continuous nights with a few hours here and there over the course of weeks. I have been delirious and hallucinogenic [sic].”

She goes on to write that her condition forced her to get a generic form of the prescription sleeping aid Ambien, which she inadvertently took with wine, a type of behavior that led to her brother’s suicide, she admitted.

“I was loving them (the sleeping pills). I had been on them for a couple weeks when I had a bad reaction, likely because I was also drinking wine which it says not to do I discovered later.

“My brother Rip always joked that those labels were wrong, that all medications were way better with alcohol! He also enjoyed many drugs recreationally for the majority of his adulthood which likely contributed to his depression and ulitimaltey [sic] taking his own life.”

Addressing her history of heart palpitations, Egelhoff said she grew “groggier and had felt pressure and pain building and increasing in my head over the course of many days, becoming toxic and severely depressed with no alcohol consumption.”

It was so severe she thought she was having a heart attack.

“My heart started pounding and wouldn’t stop racing. At the same time, I felt an intense tightening and pain surrounding my heart, I thought I might be having a heart attack,” she said.

Egelhoff writes that she’s “working a lot more”, but didn’t seek medical attention because of her dire financial situation.

“I have no insurance and no money so my decision was weighted in favor of waiting it out.”

Heidi Montag's Mom Just Wants Some Respect

Heidi Montag's estranged mother Darlene Egelhoff has blasted her daughter in a new post on her self-titled blog, telling her: “It's time you showed a little respect!”

Egelhoff wrote she'd "decided to leave Heidi out of my blog because I had heard second hand she was accusing me of 'using her.'" But mom says she believes her blog posts actually are benefiting Heidi “and if anything helping her image.”

Last month, Heidi’s husband Spencer Pratt labeled Egelhoff a “hypocrite” who was just interested in trying to piggyback off her daughter's fame.

In her response, Egelhoff tore into her daughter over their year-long estrangement.

"Heidi was so unbelievably cute and such an equal part of our family, all but the last year, that without her our history is incomplete," her mother wrote.

"She is a part of our family whether she acts like it at this time or not. If you don't like it Heids, call me, lets work it out, otherwise too bad.

"I'm the mother; it’s time you showed a little respect.

“I have made mistakes but none that warrant completely shunning your entire family as a result. If you want to receive grace you must give grace."

Pratt has insisted Egelhoff is insincere in her public attempts at reconciliation with Heidi.

"If I [needed] an acting coach, I would go to Darlene," Pratt said, adding she can cry on cue "like she's Julia Roberts!”
