Day Nine

Day nine without food.

Four calls to mental health triage. Two ambulance calls. IRT aware. Services say she is “fine.” GP told her to go to hospital. She refuses.

Kids start school today.

How do I function knowing my child is starving, alone?

If you rang a vet and said your dog hadn’t eaten in nine days, they would say:

“Bring them in.”

Electrolyte collapse is a leading cause of sudden death in starvation.

The constant minimising from services is making me feel neurotic.

This is a medical emergency.
