7. You can't I'm afraid. I know, I'm someone who needs to listen...

I'm someone who needs to listen to similar advise but it all seems to fall on deaf ears. Or to put it another way I just don't seem to care about my life.

I know it must be hard, it is for my parents, but there is little than you can do. There is no way you can force someone to get help.

I'm assuming that the person in question here isn't suicidal. IF they are then you can call the hospital or other mental health services, but short of that you can only keep trying.

Sorry for the gloomy reply.
