I just move - less than 48 hours ago to be exact. My sister, with whom I've made it quite clear I want no contact with, found out about it. (throughout the past year she has been calling me for no other reason than to tell me I need to stop having seizures or am lying about medicaid/ss requirements because the information she made up out of the blue sounds better to her than any of the legal documents I've had to sign)
Two nights ago she called and left this long message about how i need to get in touch with her and she'll help me find an apartment - that I know is a lie, and just an attempt to get me on the phone so she can yell at me for having seizures as I've been through that with her dozens of times last year, and never once did any idea of help enter into the conversation. Since that didn't work, she waited until 11 at night, then began calling all my friends she has access to, telling them there was information on facebook indicating I died and wanting them to tell here where I was at - thankfully I haven't given anyone my new address yet, or she would have been here harassing my roommates since I'm now in the same city as she is, just a different side of it.
It just really irks me that if I want to have any semblance of a normal life I'm going to have to live several hours away from everyone I currently know and the people i need to have semi-close by if i get sick like before again. I used to be an hour and a half away from here (and 3 hours from everyone else) and she still found a way to cause trouble with my friends and even attempted to get me fired from work - luckily for me I lied about which restaurant I worked at to her, and the one she went to cause problems at had a different owner (same chain though). She began dating a guy from the town I had moved to, and took that as her go ahead to cause trouble with every mutual connection between the two of us that she could find. I think I should be allowed to live by my friends without having to worry about someone showing up on my doorstep for no other purpose than to cause riffs in between us.
 
Wow, what's her problem? That's pretty extreme behavior! I'm sorry you have to put up with it. It sounds like either she has a real psychological problem, or just needs to get a life. Or both.
 
Ditto. It sounds like your sis has a pretty serious problem. No wonder you try to move. You've got enough to worry about without sis making it worse. So sorry you are going through that.
 
It sounds like you need to get a restraining or protective order. She's doing nothing but harassing you to the point of affecting your health. If your seizures are stress related she'd be #1. trigger. Go down to family court and see about a getting a restraining or protective order.

If you don't want to go that route, get caller ID for your phone and a big dog.

Good ideas, birdbomb. Both the dog, and the restraining order.
 
Exactly what I was thinking. I know it's got to be hard. But I think that is the best way to take some control over the situation.
 
you aren't alone, my grandmother denied my epeilepsy and amnesia for the longest time, it took picking me up from the e.r. a few times.
