Re: My name is Jessie and I am new here
Hey @Jessie4 ,
Firstly, welcome to the forums.
I'm really sorry to hear about your sister. It sure sounds stressful.
If these symptoms have been persistent, it's worthwhile taking her to a doctor to get a referral for a therapist. The therapist may recommend she access CAHMS or a similiar youth service - all this takes time to get into.
There are also youth services like Headspace that she may be able to access.
Maybe this website may be helpful for you: https://kidshelpline.com.au/teens/issues/hearing-voices?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMImvarxLf3igMV_qhmAh35eiU1EAAYASAAEgJB8PD_BwE
Please know you are not alone. There IS help out there.
If she ever discloses risk/harm, taking her to your local emergency department or calling 000 is something to consider.
I can see how much you care.

Please you have to take into consideration that she’s a child it took a lot of reassurance to get this out of her , and all she really wanted was a diagnosis or someone relating to her problem.

Absolutely @Jessie4 . And a diagnosis needs to be done by a professional. Unfortunately, these forums are not able to give clinical advice.
Is that what you mean?
I hope she gets the support she needs. I hear it is distressing for her - and probably you too.

Re: My name is Jessie and I am new here
Are u going to take down the story? She just needs to hear from people like her u wouldn’t deprive her of that right ?

Take down her story?
I think there's some miscommunication here.
So just to clarify, are you saying that you are posting on her behalf and she wants to hear from others?
That she is looking for those who relate to what she is going through and able to share their experiences?
Sorry for any misunderstanding.

Hi @Jessie4 ,
Thank you for clarifying. It takes a lot of courage to reach out for your sister.
Do you think your sister would want to connect to other young people?
I'm mindful that the experiences here are generally for adults and may not be as helpful for your sister? What do you think?
If your sister is willing, I'd encourage her to connect to Reach Out Forums: https://forums.au.reachout.com/?sort=Top&filter=everything
I'll wait to hear from you.
