My sister has major problems. I'll list some of them here for background:
She is very overweight and lives of junk food, she is incapable of seeing how this affects her health. It has caused a number of health issues. She refuses to listen to doctors and spends hours everyday researching medications/treatments
Her house is filthy. Mouldy and stinks of animal wee. She won't let anyone in and has purchased so much junk there's hardly any room. She has poor personal hygiene.
She is pretty much unemployable, has no friends/partner. She goes through massive periods of time not talking to her family because we dare tried to help her
She is obsessed with unusual hobbies and wastes huge amounts of cash that she doesn't have on them.
I have tried to help but she just won't listen. I don't know what is wrong? Any ideas of anything I can do?
The latest thing is she has gotten massively behind on bill payments and has been threatened with eviction. She spends her money on rubbish and junk food! Things have reached a critical level.
She just thinks the council will give her a house! I have tried explaining that this is not the case.
I'm so worried for her. Aibu for thinking she's a lost cause? Is there anything that the council can do to help? I fear she might slip between the cracks... Not bad enough to qualify for help, not good enough to look after herself.
