my (18f) sister (13f) has severe ocd and depression [is seeing a professional, will take meds]. she is constantly venting to me, walking in when i’m trying to do something private, etc. when i dont respond to her text right away, she tells me i hate her and she “knows i don’t care abt her”.

she constantly wants connections with others, but when they don’t give her exactly what she wants 24/7, she says she hates them and never wants to speak to them again.

i love her but idk how to help.

Bipolar here. I saw you had Bipolar, it’s possible that she might. I used to think that people didn’t care about me either due to my attachment issues.

Second

could perhaps be BPD as well but I'm not a professional and have little psychiatric knowledge

Yeah, sure reminds me of borderline. But also not a professional.
