My big sister seems pretty attached to me. Often wants to spend time together, be close and cuddle too. She’s been suffering from anxiety and depression so she’s quite a fragile being and I try my best to help her. She’s getting professional help too.
We used to be really close growing up but grew apart as teenagers. Like we used to share a bed often and even bathe together.
I’m kinda wondering if she has just fond memories of those times and finding comfort with trying to be closer with me like we used to?
I’m not totally sure what I should do? How to best help her?
TL;DR: Trying to help my big sister with her mental health issues and we’ve become closer again

You have probably made her worse by sleeping together and showering together as teens that is not normal.
How to help her? I mean do what her therapist says and be helpful but don’t allow your relationship to get too attached. That won’t help her gain independence I would say.
