Right now, I just feel so, so thourally pissed off, frustrated and angry at the world, that I just, god I'm so close to just, GOD!
My cousin lindsey is anerexic, she's a sister, and I mean literally, to me. She knows what she's doing is dangerous, but she can't stop. Everything in her life is so out of conrtol, thats she's controling the only thing she can, her food.
The closest program to help her is in kelowna, but they wouldn't take her because they only take those in the imediate area, so they sent her file to victoria, but they only take those who are nineteen or older (she's sixteen) so they refered my aunt, her mom, to the vancouver childrens hospital, but there is a year wait. So they refered my aunt to Kelowna.
Kelowna decided to put her on, a very long, wait list. And basically the only way she can get help, is if she goes into critical condition and is about to die.
Lindz has put it into her mind, then she can only get help by getting hospitalized. So she's continuing to starve herself, so she get's into critical condition, because the program to help cure anerexia, said the only way for her to get in, is for her to be in danger of losing her life to it. Basically the fucking system designed to help her, is enabling her and, in her mind, forcing her to become even more dependent on it.
Like fucking HONESTLY! All I can do, is fucking hope that none of her organs shut down, or that she doesn't cause permanent damage to herself, or become sterile, while she's waiting to become a critical patient, so she can get help.
Oh fine their are other programs, by they are "private" but they can't afford that because Linds, and her siblings father, had died during the summer, the child support my aunt used to get is gone, and they are supossed to get this orphan fund, because my uncle died from hep c, which he got while he used to work for the city as a garbage man. But somehow he was getting paid federal, when it should have been provincial, so the people who are supposed to send money to my aunt, don't have his paperwork, and it's all such a fucking mess.
So my aunt is having to get an advance from her boss just so she can pay rent, let alone send her daughter to a place where she can get help. So she has to wait and watch her daughter slowly kill herself, and it's the only way her daughter can get help.
Which leaves me with this one fucking question. What the fuck is wrong with this world.
I am honestly at the point, where I think someone, or something should come along, wipe us all out and start over.
Because i know situtions like this is happening all over, and one really has to ask themself this.
What has to be wrong with people, and the human race in general, where this is acceptable.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
There is always ER's in between that can give her much needed electrolytes and they may be able to refer her to a psyche program that can at least stabilize her for a few days. I know that is not a good solution, but if it helps keep her somewhat safer at least it is an option to look into. As far as the money worry about her health first, ER's can not turn you away based on your ability or lack there of too pay. You are awesome for being so concerned and supportive of her. Don't give up!
She absolutely refuses to eat, especially now since she's been told she has to be critical to be put in the program she needs.
There's not much the ER Can do for her, she won't accept any other help.
I just don't know what to do anymore, I can't deal with this.
