she is 14 years old. Will be fifteen in a month and a half
she has had thoughts of self harm
she has low energy
she says she is bisexual
she has been in and out of hospitals a lot these two years
she had to be admitted for uc
then she had unexplained dizziness for months that made her miss most of sec 3
amd she had nerve pains.
she has done well in the exams she did take which has boosted her confidence
she has anxiety attacks
I think sometimes she like is fine being sick and depressed in that she does not really want to get better. she admitted that today
I have diff ways of coping and helping her. I'm not sure if what I'm doing is right or wrong
I don't know for example if I should give up work for a year to help her thru this
I get annoyed when people don't want to get better
and I may not be understanding enough
today I had to get firm and insist on her doing things. asked her to please say what she likes to have dates with.
come for a walk with me to buy the fruit she wants.
she was just lying in bed curled up lethargic.
I am struggling to know how best to help
do I let her be
do I force her
she has a powerful mind
such that even if she engages in activities that could be helpful she may resist the help.
why wouldn't people who are sick want to get better?
