<human>: Since early high school, my sister (27) has had trouble with self-esteem, putting pressure on herself, and has grappled with an eating disorder. She dropped out of college and moved to New York a few years ago, and though things haven't been easy, she's seemed a lot happier and has been eating.

Now my other sister says she's gotten a call from our sister in NY, and she's experiencing dissociative thoughts, had a meltdown that cost her job, and has been having trouble with eating again. 

The entire family is on the other side of the country from her. My parents have a very contentious relationship with my sister; in high school they were angry at her for not eating, and pretty much everything between the three of them is a fight. She finds herself in a spot where she needs help, doesn't want to go to them because they'll be mad, then things get really bad and she *needs* their help, and they of course get mad when she comes to them because she let things pile up.

So she's not insured, is currently underemployed, and has a tenuous living situation. I'm going to call her tonight. What can I suggest she does, and how can I get someone who is both too headstrong and scared to get help?

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: My sister is alone in a big city, and mental problems she's been grappling with her entire adult life are intensifying. What resources can she seek out?
