My older sister Gia acts like a 40...wait no, 80 year old woman. She only leaves the house to go grocery shopping, cart my little sisters around to the Doctor or whatever, and she hardly ever laughs anymore she just worries about everyone.
The one slightly normal thing she does is sing and even this is a tense ordeal where she stands in front of her mirror with a hair brush and sings into the brush NERVOUSLY like she's auditioning for The Voice or something. If she doesn't get the song "right", then she has to sing it again until it's perfect.
I wish she'd relax. I encourage her to do this by yelling, "WOULD YOU FRIGGIN RELAX ALREADY? GWAAD!!" at the top of my lungs at least five times a day but for some reason this never does the trick.
I know my sister's issues started when mom died and I totally get it...I'm dealing with a lot when it comes to that too. But I wish there were something specific I could do to help Gia stop being so uptight all the time. Any suggestions?
