My twin sister is the most wonderful person i can imagine, she is kind nice beautiful has a great sense of humor and back when i was bullied at 10 to 12 before school out, and i was very depressed she helped me through it. Now she is going through big problems and i cant do the same for her and i would like to, so im asking if anyone can give suggestions what i should do to help her
So little information, my twin sister is blind. She had a surgery that restored some of her vision which lasted until she was 9 after which she lost all her vision and i know it always made her feel sad, she often said she wish she would rather never see than lose it and need to completly learn how to function blind. Lately she has been very sad and depressed and spend lot of time sitting in our room and doing nothing, completly sunken. It has been long since i seen her smile on a regular basis, only a little when i try to cheer her up but she became very gloomy that hurts me to see. Today was the worst day of my life. Our parents are not home until tomorrow and at around 5 in the afternoon my sister ask me to talk to me in our room. She opened the talk how sad she is about herself and that she feels helpless and hates being a burden. I tried tell her she is not a burden at all but she just said how sad she feels about her existance and how much she hates just being someone to be taken care of and so on. And then she asked me for a favor. She said i have to promise her i wont tell anyone before she asks it and so on, i was really nervous but i just said yes i promise becuase i thought she was just being overly dramatic about something that is barely going to be a bad thing, but she insisted i have to promise, so i did… and then she asked me to kill her. She said she doesnt want to be a problem for us to solve anymore, and she told me she wants me to kill her to free us of her. I was so completly shocked i completly froze, and she grabbed my hands and put them on her neck and just started begging me to kill her. I dont even completly remember what happened next, what i said exactly, i know i bursted into tears and so did she, i know i hugged her and she cried into my chest, and then she cried herself to sleep and i feel asleep hugging her too from absolute mental exhaustion. I just woke up about an hour ago, she is still asleep. Im still struggling to comprehend what happaned today, but it hurts me so much to see her this sad and depressed. I want to cheer her up and make her happy so she can enjoy her life instead of hate herself, but i dont know how or what to do, i never was in situation like this. Any suggestion is appreciated a lot i just need to do something to cheer her up i cant stand seeing her this very sad and thinking thoughts like this. Thank you in advance
TL:DR my sister is depressed and i want to cheer her up, any suggestions welcome

She needs professional help. You are too young to be dealing with this kind of pressure and responsibility. Please speak to your parents. Do not tell them about what happened, but tell them you’re incredibly worried that she has depression and needs help.
