How do I convince my mom to take my sister to the doctor? I'm pretty sure my little sister has insomnia and my mom still hasn't taken her to the doctor I'm also convinced my sister needs to see a psychiatrist to help with her anxiety because it's been keeping her awake, my mom won't take us to see any doctor unless we're visibly sick
-
Visibly sick like, you have a fever (some people go to the doctor for that, it's crazy), or like, you have strep throat?
-
Stuff like that yeah, unless we have thrown up or are constantly telling her about it she doesn't take us to the doctor and as far as my little sister sees it not sleeping is fine and my older sister has complained about it but my mom told her to stop whining
-
What I would do
Is have everyone throw up a bunch of times on the same day
That should get her attention. -
We can't throw up on command my little sister is only five
-
Fortunately, insomnia isn't a huge threat to one's health, and may be the cause for the anxiety. Try having her take something like Melatonin an hour before she should be asleep, perhaps after dinner, depending on when you eat
-
We've tried melatonin it didn't work
-
What dosage?
-
I was able to throw up on command when I was five lol still can. If I put my head over the toilet bowl, habit kicks in, and I throw up.
-
Have you tried Valerian root? It doesn't work on me or my dad, but it puts my mom and my sister out like a lamp. So I'd say 50/50 chance of it working.
-
We've changed dosages because she wasn't sleeping the worst we've done is 2 tablespoons of melatonin
-
So liquid melatonin?
-
Yes though I can't really explain the exact measurements so that's what I came up with
-
Insomnia? I'm actually very familiar with that, even though somniphobia is pretty damn different, the treatment is the same for both, if you want me to tell you ^^

i remember being rlly similar when i was younger and it posed itself as very large problems that my parents brushed off just the same.
maybe she is fine, but your parents shouldn’t take the chance bc they could rlly be setting her up for a lot of dismissal and bad luck in her health.
maybe if they knew how serious it could be, they would take her to a doctor :((
i’m sorry that’s happening though.
