Hi Marta,

Whatever is at the root of it, this young person obviously doesn't feel well in herself. IMHO taking her seriously and listening to her is vital. Sometimes a wise friend or counsellor can get a sense of the problem, over time.

My daughter had a friend who was always having medical exams and allergy tests. Then I saw how her father related with her - ouch! The girl in question left home 3 years ago and now has a happy relationship with a loving and apparently stable guy. The allergy tests? - all forgotten!

That's just one scenario of course, I'm not making any comparisons.

Hope things get sorted out for her.

Myzen.
