Do your family know about your suicidal thoughts?

[Proto]

Yeah they do and when i told them a few months ago they said they always expected it as well. I feel more comfortable having it out in the open, besides they understand because they also know what depression and hardship is.

 

[Usako0504]

Yeah but they don't care.

 

[trouble]

No, or at least they act like it's not there. My mental health, which has been beaten to nothing but a pulp by now, has always been pushed under the rug and ignored.

When I attempted, my mom actually acted like she cared, but it's been a while since then, so now it's gotten back to not giving a shit about my feelings.

I have. My depression and suicidal thoughts often effect my motivation like many people, but I've still been cleaning daily and applying for several jobs. It doesn't seem to be enough though because my dad told my sibling that if I don't fix my act then he would send me to (his words) "a loony bin" and according to my sibling, he was laughing about it. He has also been trying to force me to be on pills when psychosomatic medicine have given me negative side effects in the past, so I'm kind of wary about the idea. I'm pretty certain he doesn't take me seriously, and I might also just be a joke to him.

Yes, they found out recently, however that will have no bearings on my plans.

 

[LittleJem]

Yes, am out and proud. I mean fed up of suffering and everyone knows it.

 

[Lostandfound7]

Aww, your husband sounds like he really cares for you. :)
&I am sorry to hear that you're feeling so low.
I feel like I can't tell anyone. My family would never hear me &my friends are moving on with their lives... who am I to lay this on them? I don't think it's fair.

Well he was majority of the reason I ended up here..lol..

I understand not being able to tell ppl around u..it would b hard for them to understand..This is where we come in

*mumbling* Oh... shit. Excuse me while I remove my foot from my mouth. Oops, my bad.

Yeah... I just tried reaching out, probably to the only person I had left who I thought wouldn't judge me...they didn't judge me, in fact they expressed concern &I feel worse. The guilt of sharing is unbearable.

One recent discovery of mine, too, is that for talking about something as large as suicide, I've got to communicate it via a medium that I can take my time and think things through about what to say and how to say them. If it's in a realtime scenario, like in a verbal or text conversation or something, I'm just absolutely fuckin terrible at trying to describe the full expanse (or even a summary of) what I'm going through. I just freeze, have a complete sudden onset blankness of mind, stall out, and then stumble over every single new word that I say in an attempt to stop the dead air from hanging for too long. It feels sooooo much like the scene in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia where Dee and Charlie try to do stand-up, but can't say a damned thing because they're just too riddled with feeling like they're about to puke.




This video is as relatable as it is hilarious. No matter how terrible I feel, this will never not be funny to me.

Wouldn't tell my parents for it would probably ruin my mother's life. The only person who i told was my boyfriend of 4 years, but he recently broke up with me because I was weighing him down too much. I am devastated and am now unable to tell anyone close to me about my suicidal thoughts.

They (mum and sister) know I'm not 'okay' because I don't leave the house. But I don't think they know I'm actively suicidal now. They don't know the half of what I experience day in day out though.. and I want it to stay that way..
