Where does this "should"come from?

Is it your own expectations for yourself?
Those of your family?

"Should" is a word you need to be careful of.
Is it WRONG that you're not the person your sister wants you to be? As a sister I would always love me sister as who she is even if she's not who I'd want her to be. I don't think it's wrong that you're your own person, and that you're sick with depression right now. It's OK to be who you are, with your own personal limitations.

I think you might need to re-define your perception of "should"


Many hugs to you, I know you're going through a lot
