My younger sister and I had worked hard to make this next semester to work out good for us. Then she had found out about a crimial no trespass protection order and had put one on our uncle. Well it went through and she got suicidal. They hospitalized her for two weeks and she just got home yesterday. Today we went to do some errands at the college and found out that she probably won't be able to live in the dorms this semester. I feel so bad because in a way I helped to get her in the hospital because I thought that was what was best for her at the time.

The thing is now they are using that against her. This so isn't fair for her. I wish that I could take it all back and had not of sent her to the hospital. This so does not help my own depression. I feel so bad...

I know that things feel like the end of the world right now, but if you hadn't helped your sister like you did, it might have been the end for real. Please don't second guess your efforts, I'm sure you did what you knew to be the best you could at the time, and it worked.

You aren't responsible for her problems, nor how she does or doesn't handle them. We all go through events and then rearrange our plans because of them. Keep on being the great big sister you sound like I feel so bad...

Ditto! You sound like the kind of big sister everybody needs!

Try not to be so hard on yourself.. you can only do so much... and you followed your heart...you did good!

Well, my sister might get to stay on campus after all. We won't know for sure probably until next week. But she did talk with the vice president of the college and the vice president had suggested that my sister and I live in an on campus apartment instead of the dorms and that they wouldn't charge us any extra for it either. I'm just relieved that my sister might still be able to stay on campus and that things are starting so smooth out for us finally. I feel so bad...

I know how depression feels too. I suffer from it myself. I've had mine for most of my life because of everything that has happened in my life. That's why I am so protective o my sisters because I don't want them to be hurt in any ways at all. Though I know that isn't possible so I am also in a way trying to back away from them and trying to break away so that they can grow up and learn to do things for themselves. I'm in a hard position right now with all this and this whole thing with my sister telling her doctor that I will take care of her doesn't help matters much.
