How To Keep Moving Families Of Mental Disoders With Moxie

Latesha, will you go to the gym with me?

Not now honey, I dont feel like it.

Howd you like to go get something to eat?

Im not hungry.

Hey Lateshawould you pick up the phone. Its your sister.

Tell her Im not here.

Can I change the channel on the TV?

I dont care; Im not watching it anyway.

Daryl was trying to be polite by asking questions. What he really wanted to say was, Latesha, get out of bed and start moving, eating, and talking to others! I am very concerned that you havent functioned all month!

Ordinarily, Latesha was the queen of functioning. She was a mother of two, manager of a large customer service department, and could bake a better pie than anyone in the neighborhood. She led an active life, enjoying golfing, swimming, and dancing. Latesha was well-liked by her staff; who appreciated her sense of humor. She was loved by her husband; her golfing friends; and her sister who lived across the street. She and her sister practically lived at each others houses.

They practically live at each others housesuntil Latisha started avoiding everything and everyone, including her sister, husband, and friends that loved her so much. Daryl had thought maybe Latesha was overly stressed, and that rest would help. But Latesha had not bounced back. The more she lay around, the more stuck she became.

Daryl picked up the remote and shut the TV off. He stood up, and called her name. Latesha, you might get angry at me for inconveniencing you, but we are going to take a walk together, right now. Are you going to put on your shoes or am I?

When she started to protest, he said, Id rather you be mad at me then stuck in bed the rest of your life. Here are your shoes.

It took all her willpower to put on her shoes. She mumbled something softly, and stood up. She reached for Daryls arm, and took the first of many steps that would lead to a solid recovery.
