My sister has had issues with depression and anxiety for years, compounded by a brain aneurysm almost exactly six years ago which caused her to move in with my parents. We saw her and my parents for a brought-in meal around March 15, then again on March 20 when we scoured 6 grocery stores in their area to get everything on Mom's list as our area went into stay-at-home. Didn't see them again until May 8 when we dropped off birthday and Mother's Day gifts and goodies. At that time when my sister left the room I said to my mother "did she cut her own hair?" -- her hair seemed to be somewhat mullet-like, short on top, longer in back. I figured she'd got fed up with her hair in her face and just chopped some of it off. But Mom answered "she's pulling it out". What?! That day we'd picked up some puzzles my sister was done with and they were something that interested us so we decided to put them together before selling them on eBay or Facebook -- thank goodness because the boxes were full of my sister's hair! Didn't see them for a month and forced pizza on them Sunday (Mom is afraid take out food has the virus). OMG, my sister has pulled out so much of her hair that I don't know how she goes out in public. I asked my mother if she'd spoken with her and the response was "she said if she had a dog or a cat she wouldn't be so anxious". Yeah, right. So this is a new development in her mental issues, in spite of continuing with her shrink appts. on the phone each week. Just wondered if anyone has ever dealt with such a thing before.
