Go to get help on campus from a professional.

Your sisters will want to help and be there for you, but they aren't qualified to offer the help you need and on some level, as harsh as it sounds, it may not be fair to expect them to.

You're kind of setting them up to fail you. Do you need someone hovering? Will you resent them if they do? Will you resent them if they don't and feel like they abandoned you?

Maybe the best thing to do would be to ask if one of them to help you set up something with a professional and maybe even to go with you (not to the actual session but to drive or walk you there and wait with you) so that you will follow through. And once you know more of what you need to do, you can ask them for specific help day to day.

Again, I'm not saying that you should be afraid to ask them or that they won't rise to the occasion and support you as much as they can. I suspect they will do everything in their power to help you.

But just as you wouldn't ask them to perform surgery on your self-diagnosed medical problem, having them be your only help with this issue is a bad idea.
