imo you shouldn't have blurted it out like that, you could've sat down and talked to them and gently lay it on them on why you feel like that but i understand where you're coming from. idk have they eer talked about why they're scared of/don't want to go to the doctor
yeah i agree that blurting it out was stupid, i was way too emotional and should have just stepped away. maybe in a few days after things cool off and i can call her and apologize about that and hopefully just take it from there.
she goes to doctors pretty regularly for a main set of symptoms/problems that she has, but then she will have all these secondary problems that are still serious but she doesn't think are related to the main problems or makes up total excuses herself (like for example the puking blood, she blamed on an IV she was given during a hospital stay...things like that, which don't even make sense). so she just genuinely convinces herself that a doctor visit isnt needed, we're also kind of pressed for money at the minute.
whether or not that's the real reason im not sure. but thats the reason she tells me.
idk that really sucks anon but i read your other reply to a dif anon above, imo if you honestly feel or have your suspicions that your relative maybe lying or overblowing the illness then you're not a bad person bc from what you've said, you've been supportive and you're not pulling it from the air. idk i would say wait a few days and chill out, biba. hope a solution is found soon and i hope you're ok biba
