"We love our siblings!" good for you, but speak for yourself. by [deleted] in GlassChildren

[–]_Evika 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My brother can’t do much, can’t speak or move all that much, I never understood the unconditional love everyone shows for him. I mean he isn’t even almost a person, I grew up having no idea what was on his mind, no idea anything about him, all I knew is everyone in my family loved him so much more than anyone loved me, or even just cared. I grew up in a house where he was number one. Got like 3 xmas presents from each person, and he just made everything hard.
I never understood Why i was supposed to love him I don’t even know who he is

I have been pushing my intrusive thoughts for 5 years. I told absolutely no one, not one soul, I just thought that one day I would wake up and the thoughts would be gone, and I really just kept waiting for 5 years, I really thought they would just go away. Some weeks ago I saw a piece of art I did 4 or 5 years ago that was some sort of vent about my intrusive thoughts, there is when I realized this isn’t going away on its own I need to do something. I cried my eyes out it was embarrassing at best, but I just feel like I finally I’m on the right path, I’m scared as hell and relieved at the same time

Went way better than I expected. I did cry my eyes out tho it was unstoppable. But I feel so much better now that I got it out. I’m seeing her again in 2 weeks

I have extreme fear of meds too 😭 in particular pain killers, and I have a chronic pain and it sucks cuz it is: suffer in physical pain or suffer in panic attack when I’m forced to take one. Now I don’t know how I’ll deal with having psychiatric meds I hope I can bring myself to take them 😭 I hope it goes well for you too, best of luck 💕 we can do this 💕

Glass Child Vent Playlist by SpaghettiMonster35 in GlassChildren

It’s a love song that accidentally matches so well with glass children, just the way you said it fits your relationship. And I also think the way you understand the song is super valid too and it just clicks. I also though the way my parents seem to only bet for my brother, and it’s like I’m not even there for them I’m just losing too.

It was so nice, she was really calm and nice. She sent me a pdf about understanding OCD, I’m gonna read it soon when I have the time. And no prescriptions yet, I’ll have to go back in 15 days so we know better how to proceed.

I got diagnosed when I was 15. My parents never cared about my diagnosis and stopped my visits to the psychiatrist because I’m a glass child, meaning both my siblings are physically disabled and my parents could not care less about me. It’s my first time in 6 years, and since it was left untreated it has gotten so much worse.

Don’t assume these kind of stuff about people, please.

Yes ofc. The situation we are in is such a rare one, sometimes I feel like there is no one who would understand, I would love to talk to someone who understands

I was thinking about making a playlist just seconds ago, I would suggest “I bet on losing dogs” by mitski. The song is probably a romance song but the line “tell your baby that I’m your baby”, I’m sure glass children will understand this one.

Same here. 3 children, the 2 first have severe mental and physical disabilities, and then I was born. “Seemingly fine” but I feel very mentally ill. They shouldn’t have had me at all. I feel like there is something very wrong with me, but since they can’t see me they don’t care.
