I know she's alive because she makes noise and I bring her food. She has social anxiety and a sensory problem. She uses the bathroom very quickly and runs back into her room. She's 13, what's going on??? She's homeschooled because she can't go to school. IIN? Please help.
"I know she's alive"
Well that's good.
Maybe you should try actually being a parent and looking after her. Get her professional help and whatnot. Seems logical and obvious to me.
I hope you're a troll, because if you aren't, I'll get seriously pissed.
You are asking for help here, on this internet platform?! Instead of getting professional help and advice?! It's your f...ng child, for crying out loud...
Your daughter is agoraphobic. Seek professional help, not casual advice online. If you hear scuttling noises from her room, well, I guess she's turned into a Kafka-esque bug.
Have you tried asking her what's wrong? Sounds like she's either been bullied or touched inappropriately. Even though she doesn't go to school, if she spends a lot of time on the internet she could have been cyber-bullied. But I could be wrong. You won't know unless you talk to her. She should probably get counseling if it's serious. Good luck.
Stop bringing her food. She could starve herself for a while, but self-preservation will win eventually and she'll come out to raid the fridge.
I don't know how serious is this condition of hers, but it could be very easily exploited. I'm very anti- social, and if i didn't have to pay my bills and gas i doubt i'd ever go anywhere.
why the hell would you take her out of school? what are you thinking? you basically took all her potential friends away from her? isolation is not going to help her.
it's summer. why don't you take her on vacation and help her feel normal?
ps: if she continues like this, it's going to be 1000x worse in 3 years. help her now.
I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. I also have an intense social anxiety, and sometimes the best thing to do is just to isolate. I know from first-hand experience that things can get a million times worse if you are out in public when it will literally make you sick to your stomach. Unless you have it, you would never understand.
I do have social anxiety. except i want to have a normal balanced life, so I fight it; it hurts though. I don't care who you are, this girl is fucking 13. She'll never have another chance to be a child and do all the wild shit kids do when they are thirteen. isolation? FUCK THAT. it makes SAD worse! Don't compare her to yourself; she still has a chance. you've obviously given up on yourself. no offence bro, I don't know you. I don't settle for "i just CAN'T do it", or "it's just not possible for me".
Oh yeah I hate it when I get sick to my stomach. I honestly wish I didn't have S.A.D. LOL it spells out sad. Anyway I wouldn't mind it if I didn't get sick from it.
She needs therapy now.
If you can't afford it, look for programs online that may help with the cost.
You may even try your local mental hospital. This isn't normal for anyone, but it's worse that she's so young and already like this.
It didn't help that you enabled this behavior. Not that should make her socialize now- that would traumatize her.
I would say it's because of skyrim, but that game has been out for awhile.
If she has anxiety or depression then that explains it...
When you're depressed all you want to do is lay around...
i have hardly left my house for 2 and a half years
a week is nothing maybe she just wants to be alone for a while.
She needs help. When she runs to the bathroom and comes back out block her way to her room and get her help!
I used to be like this. She needs therapy. Please book an appointment with the councillor at the doctors.
she gotta start smoke in the weed take all that anxiety right away and at the very least she will get up to get her own food
I definitely suggest therapy. You can't force her out of the house. If she's anything like me (I also have social anxiety), I will get so ill that I throw up if I'm out in public on a bad day. But therapy, and possibly medications, could help if you catch it while she's young. Just get her help ASAP, as it's much harder to get better the older you get (take it from me on that!)
i have a 13 year old littel sister shes quiet .but my sister is not slow at sticken up for herself but she went thought a pheas of this to and hers was BOY TROUBELS!! might have gessed.. have you ascked her whats wrong??...i bet you it ether shes started prper pubertay early ,boys ,bullied hope it one of them if its not id be really worried good luck
What's even less normal is that you've taken her out of school so she has to avoid her phobias and issues.
Actually be a parent, look after her, talk to her and be supportive of her!
Have you looked into the - unlikely but possible - idea of her being on the autistic spectrum?
