Thank you for all of your responses. I will try to address them all right now. My sister and I are very close. She is almost 11 years older than me and at times has acted as much like a mother to me as she has as a sister. She is also the biggest advocate for me. She has been to many doctor's appointments and has at times intervened, telling my husband and doctor she thinks I should be hospitalized or that I need med adjustments.

Still, this felt very awkward and strange to me. She called me yesterday evening and asked me why there was silence when she told me. I told her it had been awkward. She said that once this summer, after I had been doing well for a period of time, I became extremely weepy and unsettled. She said I told her the next day that it turned out I had PMS and wasn't aware. She said she knew I was usually fairly regular so she decided to keep track.

That makes me feel better. I did tell her next time to just suggest I keep closer watch instead of doing it for me.
