Could it be that my friend is sabotaging her recovery?

Asked by Sjcluna (122points) January 1st, 2013

My friend had made lots of changes last year and started running and lost lots of weight. When she broke her foot in September she was obviously upset that this would slow her progress. Soon after she got a blood clot and started taking Warfarin. The problem is that I think she is sabotaging her own recovery by taking it when she doesnt need to. She wont seek a second opinion and keeps saying that her foot isnt healing, despite being out of plaster and off crutches. I have tried to suggest alternatives but she just wont listen and appears to subconciously enjoy the drama that comes with the problems. Do you think I am imagining it or is she sabotaging her own recovery and how might I help her to recover in a more positive way? I have to admit i’m losing patience with her.
