Adding to Magie’s comment, why would you keep yourself away from all your family for the sake of one member? I have social anxiety but I love my family and, even at my worst, couldn’t keep away from them

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

I was supposed to see my other sister down in Sussex. Probably still will go. As you say, why let someone effect my plans. Just an exacerbation of my symptoms as I was improving until then. I get social anxiety always, even when seeing members of my family who I like. The worse the depression is the worse the SA. I'm quite a loner and find relationships complex and stressful which is a big issue.
I just can't fathom why a family member intentionally hurts someone with an illness. Definition of nasty and vile. Why can't people just be pleasant in life or not speak at all.
Plus I'd just given her a Xmas card, offered to do her shopping as she hurt her arm, offered to do diy jobs in her flat and last month drove her 400 miles round the country for her friend to transport a cat.
I'm flummoxed.
