So, my sister is 3 years older than me and she’s literally a genius. I’ve always looked up to her as she never seemed bothered by drama and stuff that other girls usually do. She’s very mature. It helps that she’s brilliant too. However, she’s always been sort of "strange" and my family and I have chalked it up as a side-effect to her being so smart. In recent years she hasn’t really left her room. She’s been writing a book for as long as I can remember and when asked what she’s doing (she literally spends ALL DAY in her bedroom) she responds that she’s working on her book, or something else that none of us understand.
Recently though, she’s been even more "off" than usual. It seems as though she’s not entirely there. She always speaks in cut off and half-sentences that are nonsensical and metaphorical. None of us can understand what she’s saying and it’s plain to see that she is not doing it on purpose. It’s like she doesn’t realize where she is or what she’s doing other than what’s going on in her head.
Please help, I’m very worried and my parents won’t do anything about it because she’s 19 and an adult. Please, PLEASE help me. I love my big sister and I’m scared for her.
Go into her room, look her in the eye and say "We need to talk" The second she becomes unresponsive or incoherent, it is in your best interest to call your parents for help. If they refuse to help you, I would look up a phone number for counseling services in the phonebook. Your sister needs a psychiatric evaluation. To me, it sounds like she could be clinically depressed, or schizophrenic. Know that none of this is your fault at all, and tell your parents it isn’t there either. If you guys keep ignoring the issue at hand, she may be in danger of harming herself. I hope all works out*

I really don’t know what to tell you.
I understand your concern, I would be concerned to. You called her a genius. Which in most cases geniuses often are very strange to normal people just simply because they don’t understand their process. If she says she is written a book maybe shes really caught up in it. I believe everyone in life has this type of stage. This stage is the time when she is trying to decide what type of woman she wants to be. If you give her time she will eventually see.
Maybe you should schedule a date with your sister, have a girls night out. Go to the movies, or whatever.
