I've had depression 25 years. That doesn't sound like depression to me.
We can all sit here and pretend to diagnose the problem, but, as i said before, no one knows. And chances are the OP won't be able to do anything about it anyways.
And whatever her problem is a song is not likely to change her.

I have an older sister that is extremely hard to deal with. I try my best to forgive and love as God says but it's hard. I don't mean to make her sound bad but heres the truth. She is 21 living with my parents with no intention of moving out. She spends almost all day in her room and only comes out to eat. As a family, my parents and I try our best to communicate with her. She has a hard heart though I know she loves us because in the end we are family. She always calls my parents and I names such as the B word and says F you to us. She dared to hit my parents before and once she gets angry, she begins to throw things around the house and breaks things. Sometimes I get along with her but I have to really try because she constantly calls me names and says bad things to me and I have to ignore them to get along with her. We are once again not on speaking terms because she gets mad very easily. Thing is, the reason I don't like being around her is because she puts me down, makes me feel bad about myself and constantly swears and calls me names. She is my older sister and I still love her as a family but is it wrong to not want to spend time with her?

In Psalm 104:9, it says "Set boundaries, love from a distance, and keep yourself from harm." So in honest truth, is loving her as a sister yet not communicating with her wrong?
Thank you.

Sounds to me like she just needs slamming against the ground. A little TOUGH love is what is needed here.
