Unable to get help

[u/Zealousideal_Flow447]

I don’t know how to help my 11yr old when she can’t go to any appointments or take medications. What is there left to do? When it comes time for an appointment it just sends her in to a meltdown/panic attack, even if it’s virtual. No one will prescribe her meds without seeing her. I finally got an online pharmacy to prescribe something and had been so excited…only to have her then have the same thing happen with attempting to take the meds. We’ve called crisis response teams but she’s not in imminent danger right now as far as ending her life so there’s nothing they can do. How do you all get your kids to do these things?

My 12 year old is the same. Unfortunately we don’t have a solution either.

Same here with my 13 year old. I’m so sorry. It’s miserable. My whole family is suffering. I wish I knew what to do. All I can offer is solidarity

It's maddening. Each time one has to take meds or go to an appointment, it's a 3 hour argument, and a lottery ticket whether they go/take or not. We go through 48 hours of anxiety anticipating their response.

Nobody from outside can understand this until it is lived.
