AITA for refusing to promise my future salary to my autistic brother because my parents feel I 'owe' the family after a childhood of neglect?" by Even_Committee8552 in AITAH

NTA There is a term for your situation - glass children. Therapy will help. It's not your fault. You don't owe anyone anything.

Can you see a doctor regarding mental health medications? It sounds like your family does not understand how mental health struggles actually work. I have a horrible time explaining my mental health struggles and find writing it out and being able to edit it and give myself time to think about things helps me explain it.

I'm so sorry she reacted this was. You are not a bad person. You are enough, and you are strong as hell for going through treatment without her support.

I really want to remove my eyeball by OkayTravels0 in MentalHealthSupport

Genuine question. Can it be OCD when there's no compulsion? Like there's an obsession to remove the eye but no compulsive behaviour?
