[quote=Anonymous]As a parent of a teen with high anxiety, what I learned is that he literarily can't talk about it. It is social anxiety. I would try to understand that it is not easy, how do you help an adult whose condition is preventing them from seeking help? She might be embarrassed and defensive at any help offered. It is hard. What I suggest, is you go visit her and take charge. Will she put up a fight if you go, pack her and drive her to your home here? And have her for a few weeks? What I do with DS is not offer options, I take charge. He is now 18, so I can' just "make him do." But, if you love her and are close with her, and willing to actually do something, tell her you need her at home with your kids. You have kids? Tell her you need her help, whatever you think of that will help her, even if it is pretending that she is helping you. If she gets ticked off, so what? She is your sister. [/quote]
