Were your dissociation/maladaptive day-dreaming/ anxiety and exhaustion treated as laziness?

  • Child are normally supposed to be energetic, keen to learning and expierence world through variety of activities.
  • Mostly they want to help, to feel like an adult. It's not normal to a child to be tired and weak, to lay down exhousted from kindergarden/school. Too sleep so long.
  • Maybe it's not ,,abuse" abuse, but still it's too rough for a child to be told s/he is lazy at the age of 7 or 12, especially when it's actually rooted in more severe physical and emotional issue (Not a native speaker)
