How do i handle bad news

[Heyyouthere33]

To make a long story short. My twin sister is pregnant, it's her first pregnancy (first baby of the family really) and she found out has HPV and it's the high risk kind. I'm being the very positive and hopeful person and trying really hard not to add to stress she carries. But I am now worried and I have really no one to talk to about it. She's my twin and it's soo unfair that what's supposed to be the happier time in her life, she has to go thru this. I become a better person because of her, she helped me in more ways than I can count. But she's been dealt with shitty cards when it comes to health. She was sick as a child too, she almost died once. My freaken twin, and I've been fine!

And here I am, anxious and depressed for no other reason than my own brain playing with my nervous system.

It just sucks and it makes me very sad and im not sure what to do here expect try to focus of the positive. It sucks to be a person with a mental health problem(anxiety /panic attack) who struggle to just be, watch the people i love go thru someone that can make then sick. I just my twin to be healthy and her baby to be healthy. That's all I want.

Go talk to her. Tell her what’s on your heart, tell her how much you love her and what you’re worried about. This is your twin. Just because she’s pregnant does not mean she doesn’t need your input or that Y’all can’t support each other. She’s pregnant y’all need to support each other! But she still your sister. Go talk to her.

I have,but i dont want her to worry or stress about it. It's hard enough to deal with, I don't want her to feel more concerned because I'm worried too.

She’s your twin you don’t think she already knows?

[Heyyouthere33 in reply to Daesin]

Yeah she knows but I don't think me expressing my anxieties about it will help her.

I know you feel helpless but you are doing a good job at being there for her, listening to her, and caring for her. Thank you for letting us know how you are feeling!!!
