I think that you care very deeply for your sister and the OCD is making you feel otherwise.

OCD is the doubting disease. All I can recommend is change up your compulsions and recognise what is a compulsion. Practice meditation even for a few minutes and keep doing it. Let the emotional feelings and intrusive thoughts come up and then fade away.

Delay your compulsion at least for few minutes. Introducing a time delay will make the urge off compulsing very weak. Try it AT least.

It is not a month or 2 months method... imagine you've been with this for years and years, think that turning the wheel that blocked you for years takes time...but don't give up...
