My mom won't take me to the doctors
I have anorexia and bulimia I'm in recovery but I get extremely lightheaded, get headaches, feel weak and feel like I'm going to throw up. I told my mom but she refuses to take me to the doctor cause "i did this to myself" I don't know what to do cause it keeps getting worse
I don't know how old you are, but you need to call the doctor (whoever you see for checkups or when you're normally sick) and make an appointment. If you can drive, drive yourself. If you can't drive, find a friend/relative/bus/etc. Ask the doctor to send the bill to your home (at which point your mother will be legally obligated to pay it). This may seem extreme, but eating disorders can cause all types of permanent health damage, and the most important thing right now is to make sure you get and stay healthy.
I don't know if I can make my own doctor appointments I'm only 14
You absolutely can, as long as you've seen the doctor before (your motherwill have signed a consent for treatment form, which allows the doctor to see you). If the doctor asks why your mother isn't calling for you say that she's teaching you to be more responsible and she wanted to you call yourself. That should be enough to get your an appointment.
If, for some reason, this does not work get yourself to an emergency room. They are legally obligated totreat you even if you arrive unaccompanied by a parent or legal guardian. However, if you have insurance you're going to need to bring a copy of your insurance card.There are special provisions in this treatment clause specifically for ED, so it's probably a good idea to mention that this is related to complications from that when you arrive.
Thank you so much
Another option is to go to your school nurse. If she finds your problems concerning enough she may have the power to force your mother to take you to a doctor (and it may convince your mother to hear that you need one directly from a medical professional).
I agree. You need to do what it takes to get the help that you need. If you know you're in a bad situation and want to get that help, find someone who can help. If not your mom, maybe a teacher, a family friend, another relative? You deserve the chance to heal.
Some of the information given here is country specific. Here, if a doctor decides a minor is mature enough, they are able to make their own medical decisions. The government pays for it, so as long as you know your health care number (better to have the card, but you don't need it) they can treat you without a guardian involved.
This is true. OP, my information is America-specific. I don't know where you're located but keep that in mind.
my parents do that about my s-h.
