My sister

[Alfred Pennyworth]

She's the reason I am what i am today. She's the reason for everything. She has some sort of emotional disorder, I don't know what it is, nor do i care. My entire life, she isn't your average teenager. She'll blow up at you for the slightest thing. When she starts arguing with my dad about something, it usually escalates into a huge fight, my dad gets extremely pissed, my mom starts crying, and my sister goes to her room and slams the door. And all the time, i'm either up in my room trying not to listen, or trying to make myself as small as possible. This happens so often, I'm wary whenever she comes down. My dad is so fed up with her, that I'm afraid either he's gonna leave or have a stroke and die. I don't want to lose my dad. This is the reason why i'm so afraid, why I'm a ball of nerves, why I'm a loner. I just want to get away from here, escape, yet I can't. I'm stuck here. If I try to run away, they'll find me and bring me right back to where I started. I just want it to stop. I don't want to think about what will happen if this goes on. I know I'm depressed. So many nights I feel so bad, it's a miracle that I'm not cutting myself. I just want it to stop. I've been so depressed, I've been thinking about making it all go away. I promised myself and friends that I wouldn't even think about it, but if this happens again, I don't know what I'll do.

your sister may have some form of bi-polar disorder. i'm not totally sure about that but often snapping like that is a sign of bi-polar disorder. otherwise, she might just be an irritable teenager, i'm assuming she's a teen, in which case she just needs to see a therapist and get some counseling. i'm glad you aren't cutting, that will only make it worse, trust me. if you are ever in a crisis or unsure what to do or you just want to talk you can PM me. :)

they think she has bipolar, but the doctors think that there are other emotional problems there too. my parents tried counseling. it didn't work. she either refused to talk to them, or it just made her more mad.

Aww, i dont really know what to say /:

Sean, really sorry to hear your story there but so glad you havent given in to any thoughts of self harm or anything worse. Stay strong if you can and always remember this is just one phase in life, you can get through this and then have the rest of your life to look forward to. If you ever need someone to talk to, or just to vent, give me a call.

[CuriousDestruction]

it might be a good idea for her to try some medication. that can help with the bi-polar. i'm sorry she is so crazy. bi-polar can be really hard to deal with, especially if un-treated. check out the mental illness forum on here.

i dont know what to say

Maybe you could sit down and talk to her, she sounds like she might be ADHD or Bipolar.
If talking doesn't work maybe try writing her a handwriten letter, letters can say what words can't.
If that doesn't work, maybe just keep in mind that in a few years you can move out and wont have to deal with that.

[Alfred Pennyworth]

we've tried basically all of your suggestions. she refuses to take meds, talking either plain doesn't work or causes another blow up and we are back to a pissed dad, a crying mom, and me feeling more depressed and scared than ever. her bf is here for the weekend, so hopefully nothing will happen while he's here since he's pretty good at calming her down, but I'm just waiting for the time that she's too mad to listen to him and things get even worse. What i want to do is, the next time she leaves, just change the locks and the code to the garage door and let her stay with her bf who she cares more about than us and is the reason of the most recent arguments. after all, she is 19, so she's an adult

Try talking to her, and asking why she's so angry. Maybe it is a disorder. Ask her to at least see a doctor? Sorry, that's all I have to say. Good luck.(:

To me it sounds like it is more likely to be borderline personality disorder or some anger management issues. Medication isn't usually prescribed solely for borderline but cognitive behavioural therapy is usually very successful if she is compliant.

She could just be an angry teen, too. Sometimes that is just a part of growing up for some kids.

Why not talk to your sister about this? maybee she hass angerr problems? and cant control it x

cognitive behavioural therapy is usually very successful if she is compliant.

there's our problem, she refuses any type of treatment, as i said in my previous post.

no, doctors know that she definitely has some sort of behavioral/emotional problem, but it's extremely complicated which means it's nearly impossible for them to diagnose her correctly

[Permanence]

If it is serious enough that she is threatening to or actually physically assaulting you or other people, she is considered a dangerous person no matter what her age is. If she is as you say she is, non-compliant, she can be admitted to a psychiatric facility involuntarily for a short period of time while they assess her and consider her treatment options.

This could include releasing her into the community without support, releasing her into the community with the support of an outpatient service that provides case management and/or psychiatric help, or she could be admitted for a further duration if the doctors have legitimate concerns for her wellbeing or that of others as a result of her aggression. It is possible they will keep her there as long as they need in order to make a firm diagnosis, and she may be medicated during this time. She may be "sectioned" which means she is detained under the mental health act relevant to your area.

If you do feel like your wellbeing is in danger as a result of her aggression, and you feel that your well being may be in further danger by trying to admit her, you can call the police to take her for you or get the court to issue an order.

With this said, I am certainly not a mental health professional, nor am I a lawyer. I have had experience in the mental health system as a patient for most of my life, and I know the laws and my rights relevant to my location. I am not an expert on the laws in your area. If you want further information, I suggest researching the "mental health act". This can be found by searching google.
