Hello Everyone,
My sister is suffering from serious depression, but refused to admit it. Her moods are manic, but she's never been diagnosed with anything of the sort. And now she's becoming self destructive, working all day and then partying all night binge drinking and smoking way to much pot. I'm afraid to talk to her because I never know what mood she'll be in, it's like dealing with Sybil, seriously. All my life I was the one with the "problems" and feel horrible because so much attention was put towards me by family, and she was left without much. And now its her time for helping and I don't know what to do.
Any advice, info, anything really would help greatly.
Thanks all

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
your all right, it's just always so hard to see someone, especially family go down that path. She almost tried to admit herself into hospital about a week ago, but then got stoned and hopped up on something that sent that idea right out the window.
I'm just going to have to wait for her to come to me, or God-forbid hit bottom.
Thanks
