Hey @Lemon_Fox
It is good to hear back from you!
It sounds like you and your sister have a really close relationship and that she has been a really strong support for you recently. It must have been really good being able to talk to her about everything and knowing she would understand and change her behaviours if it was making you feel uncomfortable. I know that you also mentioned that you really enjoyed being able to spend time with her with no strings attached and know exactly what you mean. Sometimes that can be the best part about being around siblings.
It also sounds like your sister acknowledged how much you do for everyone else and was able to be a support for you as it sounds like you are a huge support for everyone else around you. I know that she has left now, but I was curious about if there was anyone else in your life that could be a support for you and help give you the support that you need. I know you mentioned that you have a friend overseas but was wondering if there was anyone else like another family member, or even a GP or mental health professional? Or if not do you think this is something you would consider? It is important to remember that you also deserve all the support around you.
Not living close to your sister will be really tough but I wonder if you could maybe stay connected online with each other and if you still think you could speak to her about everything on the phone? I know it isn’t the same but sometimes having facetime or video calls with our loved ones makes them feel so much closer to us and might make it easier to get through the next year. What do you think?
Look forward to hearing back from you soon 💜
