She is 27. We get on OK. We arent the best friends and we dont have a lot in common but we can be amicable to one another.
She has suffered from severe mental health problems for a long time. Came out of school with few prospects and has never really worked in a paid job. She has done periods of voluntary work but nothing that has last more than a few months because she "cant cope with it all". She claims she gets very anxious around people and finds it hard to trust them. She got a paid job last year but left it because she said it was causing her distress.
She is a nice girl dont get me wrong. She still lives with my parents and helps them out around the house and in whatever they need etc. She has her own money through the benefits she get for her mental illness but doesnt pay rent/towards household bills/food.
My parents keep falling out over the fact she is still at home and its causing a strain on their relationship. Growing up they were very happy together but her constant mood swings and lounging about is causing them a lot of stress. Its hars for me to see if im honest and I do blame her. Part of me doesnt want to but a big part of me does.
She has seen many therapists, none of which she seems to get on with. She is constantly going back and forth to the GP and trying different medications which dont seem to work for her.
I dont know much about mental health issues I really dont. But surely at 27 and when she has been on this cycle for years she needs to start to make a change?
