Personal experience tells me that you should consider cutting things off with your dysfunctional family. Not only has your privacy been violated, a diagnosis put on you(she doesn't sound qualified to give this diagnosis) but you are also being cast out? If you truly had the disorder she's claiming then a healthy

Sounds like your sister is extremely competitive and trying to sabotage you. It's possible she has a personality disorder. For your own well being I would refuse to discuss the subject any further with her and your family and handle the situation quietly. Consult your psychologist and do what you need to in order to

Honey, run. Don't walk away, RUN. Your family sounds absolutely psychotic and you need to get the fuck out of there, because they seem to be eating you alive. Please, please, please, for your own sake, separate yourself from them, they have nothing good to offer. I know it's hard to cut your family off, but they are

First, Holy Shit! This sounds like a family dynamic you should consider taking a half step back from temporarily, as long as you have an alternative support network of friends and a therapist you can see more regularly.

I don't have access to your medical records, nor am I a doctor. But I tend to think your sister is full of shit. Her motivation is suspect, there are reasons why people aren't supposed to practice medicine on their family and she sounds like a bitch. I also think HIPAA laws are important as a security professional.And

OK. Bless you "Needing," I feel for you in more ways than you could possibly know.

I regularly look at records of patients at our university's medical center for clinical research (I have clearance to do so); I take confidentiality very seriously. I won't even look at my OWN medical record.

Holy whoacraps. I'm just going to enumerate the MOST terrible things I see here:

Please remember that the only person who thinks you are "attention seeking" is your sister, and as you said, she says awful things. She even got kicked out of a class in high school for it. Your doctor won't think it's a waste of time to see you. Really. Your doctor is most likely to react the way everyone here has,

Talk to your doctor. That behavior is insane and absolutely unprofessional.

She sounds like a HORRIBLE doctor. Not only illegal accessing your files, but the shit she's said to you is just awful. DO bring up what she said with your doctor, but not bc she's probably right, but because you should talk to someone supportive.

C. Everett Koop was asked about giving money to homeless people when he was Surgeon General. The questioner wanted to know if it was good to give money to the homeless when you suspected they were going to "just spend it on alcohol". Koop replied that when a person has reached the point of homelessness alcohol is no

Rage issues? Anti-depressants? Impulsive behavior such as committing and admitting a crime? Attacks without provocation? BEEP...BEEP...BEEP...my Bipolar detector just went off. She may be the family "star" at the moment, but she's headed for the edge of the cliff. You would do well to add to your care a therapist

This sounds like a really difficult place to be in. My heart goes out to you. If I can give any advice at all not knowing all of the nuances involved I would say this. Distance yourself physically and emotionally from anyone that contributes to anything that gets in the way of your own health and well being, even if

Your family's been fucking with you for so long you can't even see their crazy, since they've convinced you you're the one. They want you to believe they control you but they do not control shit. NOT SHIT.

Run.

hugs. Take your time. Don't force holiday frivolity if you don't feel up to it.

You know she's not 'white?' right? She would not have had a lot of luxury and privilege in Oz as she is visibly aboriginal.

As opposed to Paper, who featured a celebrity not wearing things...

I would feel much happier with this if she hadn't used the term "igloo". She has a history of poor word choices that demean First Nations and indigenous persons.
