What do you call this type of person

I think my sister has a psychological issue.. one day she’s good and the next day she is not! For example; when she’s arguing with my other sister she tends to shut us out and ghost me for a while like weeks or months! If she’s mad at us she unfollows us and archive all the pics of my daughter and my other sister kids which are her nephews and nieces) I just feel like she’s hella childish! She’s damn near 35 years old and acts like she’s a teenager! She’s just weird.. mind you I’m always being nice to her and once she’s mad at the family she’s mad at me too as if I did anything to her! It’s hurt ful and I know she has issues but don’t know what type of disorder this is???

Could be a personality disorder!

And she can never a keep a damn job, always say her coworkers are hating on her and makes excuses and quit! Like lady get your shit together! I’m so disappointed in her cause she’s so grown now

@Jade really wish she could get help.. do you know where this disorder comes from?

Depending on what it is, it could be different things! However, a lot of them are trauma related in some way and genuinely rewire your brain. A good place to start for her would definitely be a psych consult. If she has a personality disorder, it’s very hard to live with and exhausting for all involved, including her. I hope you guys are able to get to where she needs to be!

I agree with Jade. It sounds like possible borderline personality disorder. It can be very difficult to live with and to have a loved one struggling with it. She'd likely benefit from intensive counseling. The challenge is her getting the help and sticking with treatment. It often stems from some sort of trauma, especially abandonment or neglect (whether emotional or physical). You can try talking to her about it gently when she is in a good headspace. Be prepared for denial and her possibly shutting you out again. It's very challenging to navigate, but it sounds like this is causing a lot of disruption and disfunction in her life. I really hope you can plant a seed for her that she deserves to have a better quality of life and that you'd love to have a consistent and close relationship with her.

Definitely not a psychologist but that does sound like a personality disorder. Possibly Borderline Personality Disorder. Sounds like my MIL (husband and I have been in family counseling for the past 3 years due to her behaviors) but she hasn't been formally diagnosed (refused to come to counseling with us). Just suspected to be. Unfortunately the only thing you can do is take care of yourself and limit your exposure to that kind of behavior. Mental illness/ personality disorder may be the reason for her actions but it shouldn't be the excuse. I'm sorry you have to deal with this. It's so hard when it involves a loved one . ♥️
