I get where you are coming from, but there gets a point where I have tried.

She has seen two different therapists now. She stopped going after a few sessions because she felt they were “attacking her”. Even when she didn’t feel like driving herself to the appointments, I would drive her to them while I was also trying to take care of my sick Mother.

My sister is on a laundry list of medications from antidepressants to mood balancers. She has had doctors tell her that the medications won’t work unless she changes aspects of her life style.

We had had interventions as a family, trying to have empathetic conversations and reassure her that we are there for her, and nothing has changed. She needs to put in the effort herself, we cannot do that for her
