[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 660718, member: 11791"] No, you aren't permitting her to win. She is simply getting on with her own life. Just like you need to get on with yours. Wearing the same dumpy clothes, staying home, not doing stuff for yourself - that has no impact on her or anybody else except you. It's very common in people with depression. Copa... start taking baby steps. Make yourself buy something new (or new to you) every week. Pick one day of the week when you MUST dress "up" (i.e. differently than usual) and get "out" somewhere... even if it's just to the local thrift store to look for your one "new" thing this week. Start looking after yourself. Who knows. You might start soaring again. If you do, trust me: [I]it will not pull your sister or anyone else down[/I]. You have your own wings. You just need to learn to use them again. [/QUOTE]
