An update on my sister's condition

blog-0519003001353629868.jpgIt's been six months since I last informed you guys about my sister, so I thought I'd blog about it. For you newer members, you can learn all about my sister here.

 

My sister has recently been diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder and body dismorphia disorder.

The BDD makes her think there is always something wrong about the way her hair is cut.

The OCD makes her obsessively cut her hair.

She is now bald.

My husband and I have bought her a wig, so she wouldn't be bullied at school, but she cuts that now too.

When she comes home from school she pulls her wig off an cries in front of the mirror about how 'ugly' she is.

My sister has become extremely self conscious about her 'hair issue'. My husband once made a joke that she sheds worse than my cat and she threw a hair at him.

 

My sister desperately seeks male approval (which no doubt it a result of our father abandoning us) and becomes very depressed if she doesn't have a boyfriend. She doesn't want a boyfriend because she thinks no one could ever love an 'ugly freak' like her. So since she 'can't' have a boyfriend she has meaningless sex with guys. Totaled up to over thirty now. It makes her feel happy for a moment, but later makes her feel used and suicidal.

 

We are currently looking into rehabilitation centers for her since she is severely addicted to ecstasy.

Her psychiatrist won't prescribe her medication until she can prove she's off all the drugs (since they could create a conflict and kill her if taken together). We are also looking into second jobs to be able to afford rehab for her as well.

 

And lastly my sister has stopped attending highschool. Just this past week a mean girl pulled off her wig in the middle of class and everyone laughed at her. My sister left the school crying and refuses to come back.

 

 

 

 

It hurts to think just 3-4 years ago we were playing hair and make-up dress up together.

I was hoping for good news. :/

 

That's horrible to hear.

 

I wish you the best of luck with your situation and your sister. Hopefully rehab can help her.

Her psychiatrist says if she keeps up at this rate to prepare for the worst. All we can do is try to keep her alive at this point. Thanks for your sentiment.

I... I'm speechless. I don't know what to say. I'm really sorry, Shanky. I wish there was something I could do to help, but... I mean if I could, I sure as hell would.

Wow, Shanks.

I applaud you for always being there for your sister and supporting her.

 

You have my condolences and I sincerely hope that things turn out alright.

There's not much one can say to encourage you when dealing with stuff like this. You and your sister have my prayers. It's obvious not many of us have ever dealt with this sort of thing, so I can't really give you any advice other than keep doing your best to support her -- though, you probably do much more than just that.

 

I really hope things turn out alright for you guys.

Damn. :<

I remember that old thread. I, too, was hoping this would be good news :(

 

I guess now you know more about what's making her like this, though. That's good, at least :/

 

I really hope this works out for the better. You and your sister of all people deserve a good outcome for something like this.

Eugh, I have a friend who was assaulted since then has been diagnosed with social anxiety disorder. It really sucks seeing her like this. Not that social anxiety disorder and the two unfortunatly major disorders that your sister has are on the same spectrum, but in a way I can understand the stress that situations like this cause. Best of luck to you getting her into a rehabilitation center, because I know that things like this can and simply should be cured.

I'm just catching up with your sister situation because I wasn't around when you first made that thread. And it's so saddening that this is happening to someone nice as you :< So the update you are giving us is not good at all. It's worse in fact. The things that you wrote about her are horrible, and I'm sorry that I tell you this, but she's a party train waiting to crash, it's just a matter of time.

I do applaud you for staying by her side all this time despite all the things she did to you and even with the disadvantage of not having no family at all! o.o ..you deserve damn prize!!

But, if you want her to be full recovered, you have to forget that you are her sister and covert yourself into her mother, in fact you are her mother by law! you MUST be tough if it is necesary. I bet your husband knows better how to put her in her place, and not being "soft" as you are used to be...

 

my honest opinion, is that there are NO OTHER CHOICE for her than intern her in a really specialized facility, AGAIN! because I'm just HONESTLY thinking that she will end up killing herself.

 

I feel you Shankies! :( best of lucks to you and keep us updated if you want <3

Even if the worst outcome occurs, at least I can say I did everything I did. i don't want to live with any regrets. Thank you for your support and sentiment though. It is very much appreciated :).

the amount of effort, energy, dedication and MONEY I'm sure, that you are putting in her is more than enough to have my complete admiration, you worth gold! but I really don't want you to lose her, because I don't want you to suffer :(

Wow I was really hoping for this to be a good update, but it doesn't sound like it...

 

I think the first thing she needs to do is get over her addiction of drugs, that is obviously incredibly dangerous.

 

Anyway, why the heck am I giving advice, I suck at it...

 

Anywho, I can't really say anything that hasn't already been said by others on here, but I truly wish you the best of luck and I greatly hope that the situation improves. Hopefully rehab can help her.

 

I wish I could say more, but I suck at expressing what I want to say...

 

Uh...this whole situation is just...horrible...and I admire you for being able to deal with this and I sincerely wish you and your sister the best. I really hope things turn out okay. I guess that's really all I can say. I wish I could be of more help, shankie :/

After reading her past status and her current one, all I can say is that I'm so glad she has you by her side, I feel terrible for you and her, I can't imagine the situation she is in, I really hope she gets better, I wish for the best for both of you :L

Also the kids in her school really need to be more considerate of others, so far they sound like complete fucktards...

You know how nasty teenagers can be.

She just really needs an understanding and patient support system, but people aren't perfect and no one likes to give without receiving.
