[quote=Anonymous]It’s nothing new, but it’s gotten worse over the last year—she’s now not engaging in her favorite hobbies and becoming more and more agoraphobic; always worried about what might happen if XYZ when it comes to leaving the house and going anywhere. She REFUSES treatment. Her doctor is aware and has prescribed meds, but she won’t take them. I’m getting better about knowing there isn’t anything I can do that will help her. I can’t make her seek or accept help. All I can do is be supportive. I’m also getting better about not letting it affect me; leaving it at the door or leaving it once I hang up the phone. But it’s still hard. How do you watch your parent suffer yet adamantly refuse medical help? If you’re dealing with this, how do you make it so it doesn’t feel like your problem to solve? [/quote]
