She has low self esteem, is in poor health and won't leave the house. We have tried everything and she prefers to just sleep and take pills. She is miserable but she just keeps hoping meds will fix it.
would u mind telling us what exactly are the illnesses she's been having? guessing one is depression? How well is she socially? Is there anything that makes her happy besides money and spending it? I hope she will learn meds won't solve everything and are only there if she really needs it. :/ omg, I really wish I was capable enough to help you! have you or anyone spoken to someone professionally? Sorry for asking so many questions
It's fine.
First off, she got into a car accident many years ago which caused her to have migraines. Second, she is diagnosed with depression, an underactive thyroid, arthritis and a plethora of other ailments.
She has no friends outside of the home. She spends most of her day sleeping, smoking, eating junk food and watching TV. We have coerced her often to leave the house and participate in recreational activities and she did once or twice but made up excuses not to leave the house and we have to give in.
She has a very negative and uh... depressive attitude but her family says she has been that way her whole life. Spending money is really all she has to make her happy. Nothing we do helps her and she gets angry at any doctor that tells her that she needs to stop smoking and start eating better and exercising.
Are my Mom's spending habits normal and should I give her my money?
