sister wrecking my head

    so, my sister is doing my head in. she's like a black cloud of depression that hovers around. it's an effort to even make conversation with her, and when you try, it's all negative, and no matter what you say, always being told there's no need to speak to me like that, or stop being so rude. not just me that's noticed, other family and friends have commented (mine, not hers, she really doesn't have many). it's gotten to the stage where i don't want to be around her anymore, but the smallest thing upsets her, and just don't know what to do

    Have you asked her if there's anything bothering her at the moment, and if she needs to talk about anything?

    i have, but it's always the same story, how lonely she is, hates herself and her life, yet won't talk to anyone about it, or do anything about it

    she's 31, but is more like a shy insecure 20 year old, doesn't like going out scared of meeting people just don't know what to do with her to try to make her happy

    Some people find life more difficult than others.
    If you've tried to help her as best as you truly think you can, then put some space between ye.

    But have you gotten her to talk to her GP about this? If you think this a serious issue try to organise your family & friends into helping her, encouraging her to talk to someone about it all.

    it's been suggested to her also by my brother, parents, cousins, so many people have tried, and it's always just shrugged off and that person not spoken to for weeks on end

    She seems to be wallowing in self pity and enjoying the attention she receives from you and the rest of her family. I believe she needs a stern talking to from you. She shold be left in no doubt as to the effect her behaviour is having on her family and friends.
    Tell her to snap out of it and get a life.
    Stern talking generally works with some people.
