Well, my sister is going back in the hospital. She is bipolar, like me, and isn't doing well. She won't take her meds like she is supposed to and is feeling down.
This is very triggering for me and I don't know why. It makes me feel very anxious. I don't know how long she is going to be there for and I don't know if I am going to visit her there this time because the last time I went I felt really uncomfortable. At the same time, I want her to know I am supportive of her. So, do I go and suck up my feelings or do I not go because of my feelings? I am so confused today.

Do what you're comfortable doing. If going to the hospital makes you feel uncomfortable or anxious then don't go. Instead of going to the hospital make letters or drawings for her. Just because your sister is having a rough time doesn't mean that you need to make yourself feel uncomfortable for her.
 hope she feels better soon!
