my sister refuses to visit the doctor( whom she visited earlier) as she says that only others need to go to doctor. she does not want to visit doctor nor take medicines. she fights with other brothers and sisters on this matter.

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
There is no option. The fact that she says that others need a doctor and not her could truly mean a reality distortion provided what you have shared about her is accurate.
Kindly do not medicate her yourself. It is dangerous and the consequences are not something that any of the family members may want to face.
Find a way to take her to a doctor please.

All the best!

Relationship
I have a friend who complains about her health constantly. She is in her late thirties and for the 7-8 years i have known her she has been complaining about her health all the time. She is a mother of two and even at this age she complains about her period problems like a teenager. I have seen her complaining that she cant move one moment earlier and the next moment dancing. Many times i wonder if the issue is not her health but she wants to escape from her household work. She takes advantage of her husband, relatives and friends by feigning sick and getting some work done by others. We live in a different country and in spite of earning well we cannot afford maids. Initially whenever she complains I would feel sorry for her and help or at-least talk to her comfortingly but now-a-days I just cant listen to her complain. Now her family and other friends have also started questioning her why she is sick all the time and now running out of excuses she has added depression to her list of sickness. She is in a better position financially and socially with good family support so i don't think any of that should worry her. She has some manageable problems like every other person but nothing big enough to feel depressed. She compares her life with others who do very well and says she is not able to have that peaceful life like them and lists her problem. She complains about her husband and even her kids. Many of her friends started moving away from her and I don't react to any of her whining I just talk to her sometimes but i feel whenever she talks she just talks about her so called problems. And now when she says depressed I want to believe that and be supportive but I just cannot understand how any normal person with everything good in her life be depressed. I feel that as an excuse to get sympathy or attention just like the physical illness excuses she has been giving. How should I handle her?
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
This is where you draw a boundary around you; how much you want to entertain people and their situations is dependent on what you value the most for yourself. Isn't time and energy something that you value for yourself? If Yes, then why are you allowing so much of freedom to a person who loves the attention feigning illness and situations of all kinds.
Should it not set off an alarm when so many people around her also feel that she is playing the ;victim' card for an extended period of time?
So, the next time she is on a call or text; kindly excuse yourself by saying: I have multiple things to attend to. It's always nice speaking with you and I must rush back to what I was doing in about 10 mins!

The time limit will initially hit her hard but then every call when you stick to that time limit, she will get used to only talking relevant things. Also, when she starts to whine, ask her about the wonderful things that have happened to her so far.

This boundary that you draw will also keep your emotional state in better shape. Also with this approach, you will be enabling your friend to look within hereslf for solutions and not play the attention seeker. And you do this even if she cries 'foul' and questions your friendship for her.

All the best!

my sister is not talking to me im in over dipression because of this i cant able consentrate on my busines . pls help me to talk with me .. important im heart patient she is doctor in gynocology .. she is very close to my heart ..
Ans: Start by gently reaching out to her. Since she’s close to your heart and knows your health condition, a sincere, heartfelt message might be the best way to open the door to communication. Write her a letter or a text where you honestly express how much you miss her and how deeply her absence is impacting you. Let her know how important she is in your life, not just as a sister but as a vital emotional support.

Explain that you’re feeling overwhelmed and that your current stress and sadness are affecting your health and your ability to concentrate on your business. She might not realize the full extent of how her not talking to you is affecting you. Sometimes, people need to hear directly how their actions (or inactions) are impacting others.

Make sure to approach her without assigning blame or bringing up past conflicts, if there are any. Focus on expressing your feelings and your need to reconnect. Emphasize your desire to understand any reasons behind her distance and your hope to work through them together.

It might also be helpful to give her some time and space to process your message. Doctors often have very busy and stressful lives, and she might be dealing with her own pressures.

Ultimately, the goal is to reopen lines of communication with kindness and understanding. Reaching out with a genuine, open heart can often be the first step in healing a strained relationship. If things don’t resolve quickly, consider seeking the help of a counselor or mediator to facilitate the conversation.

Take care of yourself, especially considering your heart condition. Surround yourself with supportive friends or family who can help you through this difficult time.
