Hey all, you know from my previous thread about my DD having anorexia again well it has now escalated. She has lost another kg and is now 47kg and is 175cm tall. So we are still battling this but now there are other things that have come to light.
We have found out that she has been drinking, she has been lying about where she has been going and who with, she has been stealing (not admitting it tho) but she was caught red handed stealing from a friend and we are not sure if she has had sex. All this from a girl who only turned 14 in February.
I'm at my wits end. I no longer know who this girl is. She is not the same one I have raised all these years.
Her dietician is very unhappy with her and if she doesn't put on half a kilo by her next visit she will be in serious trouble. We have an appointment with our GP to get a referral to a counsellor again and I will also be asking for me as well as I don't know how to deal with all of this. My BP is through the roof again and I'm exhausted as I'm not sleeping (as you can understand).
On top of all this nearly everyone has come down with a virus and leaving me to look after everyone.
Has anyone else's DD seemingly gone overnight from little miss nice to acting like she belongs on a street corner in a feral part of town.
AAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH
Thanks for reading this I needed to vent so badly.
My understanding (no medical knowledge) is that once they drop to a certain weight their brains are affected and the anorexia really kicks in. There is a clinic in Sweden (or something) that treats the brain first.
Can you call the clinic that was on 60 Minutes with the girl called Bronte (anyone else know what I am talking about here?)?
Of course her dietitian isn't happy, can you get her in to see a Psych?
I don't have any advice kim, just wanted to drop in a few of these I am so sorry that you are going through this babe. I cannot even imagine what it would be like. I think it would be every mother's worst nightmare "losing" their baby girl If you need to talk you know where I am sweet
Thanks guys, I need all the hugs I can get. This is not over by a long shot. Some of her actions I know are just attention seeking but she gets heaps so I'm not sure why she wants even more. She has just a bout everything you could think of but she is still stealing (and from her friends), I'm concerned about the drinking because alcoholism runs in my family and the sex part OMG I wish I could bury my head somewhere but I can't because I'm the only one that talks to her about it.
Lulu - wish I could take her to the clinic but she is not that severe yet that they would accept her and we couldn't afford to take her either. I'm hoping that between the psych and the dietician (and hospital if it comes to that) will be enough.
At the dr's on Friday I will be asking him about birth control for her in addition to the condoms I found in her bedside drawer. I suppose I should be happy that she has them but I don't want her to even be thinking about it yet.
im going to ask my sis for advice for you huni....she was bulliemic (sp) from the age of 11 onwards...she got through it and il ask her if theres anything that could help to get your dd and you through this.
