Hun you are battling so much yourself @outlander that the little energy you do have needs to be invested into you helping yourself.
Where is the rule book on what a sister should and shouldn't do? Or is it the expectation you have of yourself?
You do enough for your siblings as it is. Again, they are not your children.
Have you ever thought that this is your depression talking? That is the reason that there is little joy.
I am only saying this because I know how my depression effects me and I can relate so much to what you are saying.
I am glad your pop starts home care soon. Hopefully that will help you out too.
I know you see your pdoc every now and then but perhaps you need to see a different pdoc if you think they are just shoving meds down your throat. Remember you are paying for a service and if you are not happy with that service then you are in your right to change or get a different opinion. At the time I didn't want to change psych's but now looking at it, it was the best thing I could of done.
Sorry to be so blunt but perhaps you need to access the counsellor more.
