I have been diagnosed with Dysthymia and OCD earlier by a psychiatrist. I have been struggling with chronic procrastination for more than 2 years now and it has affected my professional and personal life a lot. I have tried Behavioural Therapy as well a while ago for depression. But things have not changed. There are a lot of factors affecting this including low self esteem, negative environment/pressure from family, lack of interest in daily life, etc. I have been stuck in this cycle of guilt and avoidance for more than 2 years now and it's taking a huge toll on me now. It's affecting my personal and financial goals as well as my professional performance.
My sister is 26 and lives in India. Over the past 3 years, after our mother passed away in an accident (she directly saw the body), her behavior has changed.
She manages daily activities (gym, coffee shops, online shopping, handling money) but is socially withdrawn, has no friends, and spends most of her time alone.
She has developed suspicious thoughts, especially about our cook. She says clothes kept in the balcony will get spoiled if the cook looks at them and believes the cook should only cook and not see her belongings. She also repeatedly tells us not to share our address or personal information.
She sometimes zones out and her conversations are hard to follow. She gets irritated if we suggest seeing a therapist or psychiatrist.
No prior psychiatric treatment. She lives with our father; I live in the USA. Please advise how to help her, especially since she resists treatment.
