The answer

We ask Allah to grant us and you healing. What has afflicted you may be a psychological illness, or magic, or an obsessive whisper. In all cases, you must turn to Allah through supplication, persevere in acts of obedience, refrain from sins, increase your recitation of the Quran, and maintain your regular remembrance of Allah (dhikr). Seek Allah's help to remain with your parents and family and be patient with yourself, as it is not permissible for you to abandon them as long as you are able to stay with them. With time, you will overcome the effects of the illness, and your family's perception of you will change. Take the means of treatment through legitimate ruqyah (exorcism) and consult skilled medical professionals specialized in treating psychological illnesses. Most importantly, do not despair of the mercy of Allah, for there is no disease but that Allah is capable of curing it.
