I'm thoroughly and utterly depressed because of yesterday. I legit cried myself to sleep and I'm very down and out this morning

@Busybee333 during a family dinner my sister accused me of being on the autism spectrum

@FutureIdol Did she specify why? Does she know what it really means? Is she a professional in the field? If not, you cannot take her opinion for a fact. If she is a psychologist and she's blaming you for that... she should consider a career change urgently. I'm sorry to see that cruel words towards family members can fly on other people's dinner tables too. If you think you may need psychological help for something, it is not shameful, it is not something to be belittled about, and you shouldn't let her bring you down to her level.

@FutureIdol & unless she is licensed, she doesn't have right to label and diagnose you without knowing everything. Sadly sometimes a family member may have a totally different character. My say is just avoid talking to her. If you feel ok, you're ok. But, If you feel like you are unstable and take bad decisions all the time, it could be just stress - if severe, you may need to see a psychologist and get some therapy without meds hopefully.. it may be some conflict within yourself that you may need help bringing to light and resolving. Nothing bad or wrong about being self aware. Even so, no one has right to judge or decide about your mental wellbeing and your needs, so take it as wind that passed by. You don't need other's validation to believe in yourself.
