I know it takes a while before people can accept a disgonosis of this but what if they never do? Im scared that someone I love is going through this and isnt accepting it too well. How do I help without being overbearing? Im so worried all the time that Im finding it hard to concentrate and I feel sick alot because there sliding away from me and I think it may be getting worse.

I don't think you can make someone accept something if they're aren't ready already. I think all you can do is just keep letting them know you care.

I think, unfortunately, there isn't anything you can you. Let them experience the negative consequences of their illness (unless it's unsafe to do so) and hope that that will educate them.
