so i have been contemplating suicide for a long time now. I’m 48 years old, bipolar, and single. I have two wonderful children – they are grown-up now. They each live on their own, and gran kids won’t be coming along any time soon, if at all. My parents, especially my mother, really dislike my daughter, for no good reason. they shower all the love on one of their other grand kids, my brother’s daughter, Lizzi. In the family I am oldest. I am the one who they call when things aren’t going well – so i can either fix it or comfort them, or something. when they (my mom) is just mad, she also calls me – – looking for a dog to kick. and that’s me too. I’m tired of it. i have no control over any aspect of my life. This is all just the stuff that anyone can see. I feel so lost, so worthless – like if i weren’t here, the world and my family would be better off. the burden they carry by carrying me would be lighter.SO: HOW DOES SONE GO ABOUT DOING IT QUIETLY, AND NOT LEAVE ANY MESSES, AND NOT MAKE OTHERS FEEL BADLY?

I think it’s time to hang up whenever your mom starts to shout at you. just tell her you’re gonna hang up if she keeps on being mean, and if she does, hang up.
possible, possible, not possible. Don’t do it, you have kids. if not for yourself live for them. Or share this; do you go to a psychologist/therapist? or even have a dependable friend or outlet which you can share your feelings?
it can do wonders, give it a chance. please.
Dear joonyper,
I am 45, and also got kids, although mine are not quite grown up, so I can really relate to you.
Well, on the one side you are saying that everybody comes to you when they need something, or need comfort, on the other hand you think they would be better off without you, and you are a burden to them. Both cannot be true.
I am not saying that to criticise you, but to point out in a hopefully kind and helpful way that your thinking is distorted buy your emotional state, and quite likely because you are depressed, because this kind of distorted thinking is typical for depression. I am with marine105 on that one, give treatment, therapy, medications a chance before making any hasty and irreversible decisions.
What you most likely will discover is that you have A LOT more control over your one life than your currently think.
And BTW, there is NO WAY of doing it in a way that does not make others feel bad. If there was I would have chosen it already for myself.
hey i agree with them both one u can hang up just because they arent happy doesnt mean u cant be. i have never tried medicine but i do see a therapist and i like talking to him my friend takes medicine and well i can say that she is still hear that i am glad of and i think you should stick around because when your family fineds out that somethings wrong with u then they just might want to help
