My sister won’t talk to me now

[Lycholko]

I feel like such an idiot. No one loves anymore. The only person I could talk to won’t talk to me. I accidentally told my dad and mom about a body pillow she owns and now she hates me. I don’t know what to do. She was only person who would take my mental health seriously. I feel like shit. It shouldn't even be that big a deal but now here we are. I hate myself for doing this. I don’t know how to fix it.

Making family members Happy is a really tough thing to do.

And not speaking to you over a pillow is really immature and stupid

[Lycholko in reply to Hidden]

Thanks for the quick reply. It was mostly about the cover because it’s a celebrity. I tried texting her but she never looks at texts. I just feel like I can't talk to anyone now. My friends don't care about my problems

I am sorry about that

[Hb2003 in reply to Hidden]

I agree

pillows bring such comfort I see nothing wrong with it don’t get why she is mad

[Hidden]

I myself have a lot of issues with my own family and I hear you when you say you don't know how to fix it. I would at least offer her some kind of apology that you didn't realize this was something she didn't want your parents to know about and that you didn't mean to embarrass her. And let her know you really appreciate how she's been there for you to talk to in the past. That's about all you can do.

I totally agree with that. Its a silly thing to lose touch over but she must be embarrassed by the revelation. Hopefully she will realise that in a day or so.

Hi, did your sister ask you not to tell your parents, if so why, seems silly to me. Sounds like your sister is immature, Don't fret over it, buy a pretty cards, write an apology in it and give/send it to her. Then let it go. It is in the past, leave it there. Do not beat yourself up, so you made a mistake, we All make mistakes, I do, my favorite one is "I make one mistake a day - I get out of bed"!!! Mistakes are lessons, when I make one I make a note so that I do not repeat it. As far as having no one to talk to about your mental illness (which is what?), can you talk with a therapist? Or talk to us here, we offer support and love. I wish you well, sending peace, strength, courage, love and big hugs.......

I've been wanting a body pillow. I see nothing wrong about it. It helps people who sleep alone to feel better. Sorry your sister is mad about it. She will probably get over it. My family is mad at me too. They don't like my husband and are mad after 45 years that I still haven't left him. I also have trouble staying asleep at night. Sometimes I get up and walk around, go to bathroom, get a drink then go back to bed. Good luck with everything.

Hi Lycholko, hi I know how you feel’. So often my siblings cannot talk to me or each other! It’s so painful! What’s wrong with telling about the body pillow? It’s just a big huge pillow the length of your body right?! Call her, text write a letter telling her how much she means to you. And if the body pillow is some kind of secret, that your sorry and didn’t realize she would be up set! Tell her you do not want this to get between you!
