I hope your appointment goes well.As far as your sisters, don't waste your time trying to explain you have a mental illness if they don't want to hear it or don't believe it. I went through it with my sister. S he just kept telling everyone goes through hard times and to just deal with it. Yea just deal with it huh? easier said then done! Families are suppose to support you or at least that is what I have always been led to believe, until there is a problem, then where are they? You need to find your support from the people who are willing to try to understand and willing to listen. As far as what I did with my sister, I told her how it was and for her to deal with it, now I don't call her unless I am having a good day. I don't call when things aren't right. Even though it hurts and it sucks I just avoid the whole thing with her. It's hard when you don't get the support you need from the people you love. Good luck with counseling. I hope it works out well for you. Jen
