Hey Lara, often the best thing is to just listen and allow the expression of how c**p they are feeling. You may not be able to stop or change the feelings but being present and accepting that she is in a dark place may help. It’s hard, because there is nothing wrong with you being happy but that happiness may highlight and make her struggle seem more apparent to her. You could look at seeking professional support for yourself - a counsellor May be able to help direct you in the specifics of your sisters situation and give you a space to vent how hard being a support person can be... 😊
Absolutely love your illustrations...!

managing "me" is a great way to put it! Thank you again for the illustrations!
1-- have an emergency plan. Those do not go in that order, you will have to personalise it and put them in order that works for you. Or just dump the lot and move on to YOUR way of coping.
