My sister 20 almost 21 talks to herself!?!


Question: My sister 20 almost 21 talks to herself!!?
My sister is 20 and when she is alone she talks to herself, i have over heard her talk to herself (I cant make out what she's saying it always sounds like hushed whispering)!.

Don't ask if she on the phone or has any form of entertainment that would require her to behave in this way!. BECAUSE SHE DOES NOT!

so who is she talking too!?!?

Once I listened to her for a while and it was like she was telling a story to herself , she'll ask a question and respond in a high pitched voice or low pitched voice!.

In the bathroom she'll stand in front of the mirror talking to herself!. but the mirror is not a requirement

As soon as I or anyone enters the room she stops!. She has done this all her life! I've told my mom there has to be a problem but for some odd reason my family dont want to acccept Mental Illness is really a problem!.

My sister goes from one extreme to another!. every job she's had co-workers call her by a different name , she tells people big lies (Stories of her being beat up, raped, abused, and poor etcc!.!.) It seems like every new name has a different story about thier life

My mother is a doctor, she was never abused, or involved in a physical altercation she didnt start!.

She has a victim's syndrome whenever she's asked to be accountable and the whole world is against her!.

She literally argues back in forth with my 5 year old son and doesnt seem to comprehend my son is 5 and if he's doing something you dont like come tell his mother about it (She'll call my son everything but a son of God, and holds onto grudges with him long after they have been resolved)--When I was pregnant she told me she hoped he died--

At first glance it would appear that she has fair hygeine but she's very nasty to live with she pee's in her bed and will put a towel over it an lay in it ! and when you tell her about this she'll act as if your the one with the problem

AGAIN NOTHING IS NEW HERE SHE HAS DONE THIS ALL HER LIFE!.

Needless to say she is not one of my favorite people, My mother says I'm too hard on her, I think she needs help!.

Can someone enlighting me to what I'm dealing with!?!?!?

Answers:
Synamin,


There are a whole lot of issues here!. Your sister sounds like a walking DSM; psychosis, Borderline personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, multiple personality disorder, histrionic personality disorder, are all possibilities!.

I do not know for sure I have no license to diagnose her and I have not seen her, either!.

What is vitally important is how your 5 year old son is being affected by your sister!. Her behaviour is not good for your son to experience!. This could mess up his life!. Is your sister alone with your son at any time!? By what you describe, her behaviour could be more damaging to him when you are not there!.

I think you have to get you and your son away from your sister!. Do this as soon as possible!. there has to be someplace you can go!. You need to protect your son, he is not old enough to realize that not all people behave like your sister does!. You know her behaviour is unusual, your son does not know this!.

Your mom is in denial and does not *see* your sister's behaviour the way you do!. She probably feels guilty as all get about having a daughter like your sister!. Intelligence and degrees do not prevent denial!.


And there could be an impact on you too!. I did not read that there were any men on the scene!. I am not a sexist, but what does your dad and your child's father think about this situation!?

If your dad has passed, I am sorry for bringing up the subject!.

But please talk to your Doctor or other resource like a priest, pastor or rabbi abou this situation!. Listen to what they say, okay!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Whoa!. Sounds like some serious mental problems!. And it sounds like your mother is in denial about them! Maybe she has borderline personality syndrome!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

There is nothing wrong with talking to yourself i do not think it is a bad thing i don't think there is anything wrong with your sister!!!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

have you ever asked her about it just after hearing her talk in those voices!? she seems to have a lot of symptoms relating to schizophrenia!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

shes trying to reason with herself about her actions, but if she answer herself,m than she need to go to the doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well i think you're definetly right and you're mother is trying to avoid it because its hard to deal with the fact that your daughter is screwed up {no offense} but i think you need to have a psycologist evaluate her and have him decide if there's a problem!. if he thinks so then sit your mom down with the doc and have him explain the problem!. theres most likely something she can take!. i really think you should try it!. you said shes always been like this so what can it hurt!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well I don't know too much about mentally ill people, but from what you have said it sounds like she is very mental, like a split personality maybe>!? could be bi polar!? and thats gross that she sleeps in her pee something definitely wrong with that!!! if not mental she has some serious behavioural disordersWww@Answer-Health@Com

im not sure what it may be!.
i mean i aint scared to say it , but i talk to myself well others think i do anyway, but they don't know the whole story and aint got my brain which is lucky lol!.
she may not even know she is talking to herself and maybe she aint!.
she needs to go to the doctors i think he/she will properly refer her to a phychiatrist or another professional for mental health!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your mother is a doctor!. She understands that there isn't really anything you can do to help someone that is a little batty!. Your sis is definitely F'ed in the head, but as long as she's functional the best thing you can do for her is just let her wander around bumping into things and causing minor trouble for others!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well I might be able to provide some insight on one thing and that is making up stories and being diffrent people!. I actually used to do that I still catch myself sometimes!. I would ke up diffrent names and personalities for myself along with diffrent life stories!. Much like what she says but I was raped and abused I had a rough childhood!. I seeked out help from a counciler!. He said that part of it was to do with what happened as a kid!. The main part was my urge to be accepted by other people!. I would observe at how others were their life story and come u with one of my own to fit in I would change my life even the way I talked!. Maybe that is what she wants to be accepted by everyone and to be able to relate to evryones situation!. She is yelling out for help and love!. The best thing to do is just be nice to her and support her until shes ready for helpWww@Answer-Health@Com
