This reminds me of my sister as well. I tell her what to do to get better (she suffers from mental illness as well), which is mainly telling her to stay away from people at the moment who make her worse, but she listens for a short amount of time then crumbles! Or she ignores other advice. Then again, when I give any advice, I can't listen to my own advice. Must be in the genes except it's my own advice I ignore. That's just sad.[emoji22] I pray she will start to listen to your advice. While she needs to make her own decisions, and you can't push your ideas on her, imagine yourself in her shoes, what she has gone through, and try to imagine what she feels. Be honest, but don't push. You have different view from her. It will take time. Good luck.

There are so many things wrong with me, and sometimes I believe there is more than what is diagnosed. I fear never healing, being left alone to crawl this heartless, cruel world. I hate myself so much, and sometimes, as much as I hate them, all I really want is a heartfelt hug. Will I ever make it through this thing called life? Or will I drown in the darkest depths of the ocean? Only time can tell. As for now, I just hide and I fear. This is, and will always be my life.
