So I’ve got 3 sisters, they all know about my past with chronic anxiety/depression.
Two sisters I can talk to and feel at ease with , and occasionally go to visit for an hour. They understand if I can’t get out, do things etc they accept it. I’m glad to see them and they me.

The other sister, I have been close to many years back.
I remember her saying to me one time, “you just have to do it” and few others lines similar.
Yet she can’t drive over any bridges that mainly have roads underneath!

I think this as stuck with me, as I don’t feel comfortable around her because I know she may bring up my mh issues so hardly see her
I just feel she thinks I’m just going to over come it, I’ve had it nearly 35 years on/off.

I feel bad sometimes that I don’t go round to here house yet others I have to say to myself
“I am what I am”

I texted her today to say “. Thinking about you” she’s having operation
I got back few sentences about it. Then
“Hope your ok ?”
It really bothers me when she asks, but not the other 2 as much
I just said , I get out when I can and accept that that me
She texted back with Do what you can do

I just feel like she patronising me, I hate her asking me anything I feel so uncomfortable

I think it is good that you feel at ease with two of your sisters. That is important support to have.

It is hard to tell from your post what is going on with the other sister. I would suggest that she means well.
