My older sister has lost the will to live.


Question Posted Friday August 2 2019, 8:57 pm

This morning around 7 AM my older sister was apprehended for driving under the influence of alcohol. She barely turned twenty-four at the end of July. For the past few months, she barely seems to be getting any better. She is prescribed Adderall and abuses it regularly. I am truly perplexed by the level in which her psychological illness has affected her. Unfortunately, when it comes down to the truth, she is the typical addict. Borrowing, stealing, lying, etc. As her younger brother, I passionately believe I possess the potential to assist her in strengthening her own naturally acquired powers. I once struggled with strikingly similar issues. I see much of myself in her. People, in general, lack the ability to become the best version of themselves. I know for a fact that only the Self is capable of implementing tangible change. How do I reinstate these beliefs in her? One who is so ridden with toxicities? I wish she would see through this grand illusion as I do. The better self that already exists. The whole family is extremely concerned for her well being and safety. We want nothing but what is best for her and are all willing to help. She won't listen to anyone! I can only begin understanding what she is experiencing. This was yet another wake up call for her. What do I undertake? Nothing at all? Watch and pray to the Universe she has these revelations on her own? Any advice would be genuinely appreciated, and I do apologize for being so all over the place. My mind runs a mile a minute these days.
