Please help me with my sister?!?!?

Please help!





My sister has weird anxiety issues.





She can't do stuff with her hands like putting on make-up or building things, etc. She doesn't ever understand technology.





She feels sick when she has to talk on the phone. She doesn't like telling good friends about her problems.





She's uncomfortable doing stuff she doesn't know how to do already, and she just won't do it if she doesn't understand.





Tonight she has a make-up party to go to, and she's terrified because she doesn't like the feel of lotion on her skin or of putting make-up on in front of people.





She feels down about herself all the time and we don't know what to do.





What's wrong with her and what should we do about it?





She's really getting on my nerves and I can't stand her panicking anymore!!

Please help me with my sister?!?!?
I kind of led a sheltered early life and so many things are hard for me to do on my own. If she really dosent like wearing makeup, then let her go without, it wont kill her not to wear it. as for the party, give an excuse not to go or have her go and just watch the other girls and socialize. this is very hard to do, but I manage to do it if I have to go into one of these difficult situation. If anyone asks why she is not joining in, have her tell them she has a severe skin problem and has a bad allergic reaction to many lotions, cremes, etc. that should make them leave her alone.





as for the other things..... I dont know.





good luck.
Reply:It sounds like a form of Obsessive Cumpulsive Disorder (OCD) I have it too, but not to that extent. She should go see a doctor about this.
Reply:There is something seriously wrong with her, and her phobia is severely impacting her daily life. You need to get her to a doctor and a psychiatrist for a full evaluation - therapy and medication could help her manage and eventually cure her condition.
Reply:well my friend has anxiety issues and she takes medicated pills for it. but when she forgets to take em...prepare for a meltdown...
Reply:take her to a doctor and see what they say about it.
Reply:tell her to go see a doctor. or a shrink....was she sheltered as a kid??? maybe something happened to her in the past that caused her to panic all the time now. i have a friend like that, but her parents never let her do anything as a kid, so now, she's like afraid of the world......either way, i'd get her to see a doctor. ....good luck :D
Reply:Your sister has problems, i know you probably try to get her to do stuff, but she won't. You need professional help, help her find it. Be supportive, and understanding
Reply:TELL HER YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL


AND TELL HER YOU LIKE HER CLOTHES SHOES HER SKIN HER HAIR THE COLOR OF HER EYES ETC.............





THATS ALL MAKE HER FEEL HAPPY ABOUT HER SELF
Reply:she should go to the doctors because its seems that shes aphobic to a lot of things.... and its not normal..... so she can be treated.
Reply:Sounds like she definitely needs some help. I would start with you family Physician and see who he recommends she be referred to. If you can't afford it or don't have medical insurance you can try your local County Health or local Mental Health Clinic for help.
Reply:You could begin helping by being her sister, being loving and more supportive. Anxiety and OCD, which is what it sounds like your sister suffers from, can be very debilitating, crippling to those who suffer from them. She should know she is loved no matter what and also be seeing a good doctor, there are many medications that help relieve these horrible symptoms. Good luck and God bless you both.
Reply:First, tell her not to feel weird. The brain is an organ and it too can get sick, just like your lungs, your tonsils, your liver etc. The problem is that when our brains are sick they cause very weird effects. Most behavioral conditions can be attributed to an imbalance in neurotransmitters (serotonin is a big one). There are various medications that can help with this. But first she has to get diagnosed properly so she must see a psychiatrist. Then she can get proper medication. I know it sounds bad and most people don't like the fact of 'being on meds' but remind her that diabetics do it all the time, so do people with blood-pressure problems, etc. She's not cuckoo or anything. She just needs a little stabilizer. When she does finally get better she can think back and realize how senseless her fears were. But right now she won't see that. Good luck!
