I wish i had never said anything in the first place. i made it 18 years feeling like crap, like i was unimportant, useless, etc. but i made it.
I have parents that constantly tell me i’m insensitive, that i need to share my feeling, that its not healthy to bottle things up.
but the minute i told them i wasnt happy, that i felt neglected, worthless, etc.
it became, oh your so dramatic, you dont know what your talking about, suicide? dont be stupid.
everytime i work up the courage to talk about it, they just prove me right… that what i have to say and how i feel, just isn’t important.

Weather or not your parents believe them to be important is irrelevent; if your feelings are such that you are contemplating suicide then they are serious and should be taken as such. Don’t stop trying to talk to people, it is good to let these things out. If you can’t talk to your parents at least you can talk to us. <3
… i read both of your posts and i am sorry you are in such a isolated place.
people only ever hear what they want to hear. and if it doesn’t fit within the structure of “life” which they have defined for themselves, then it either doesn’t make sense to them, or is not true (to them).
everyone’s situation is different. some get better. some don’t. but please never forget that you are not stupid for feeling the way that you do. you are not wrong for having felt something and expressed it.
it takes great courage to sometimes do the simplest things. but, i don’t need to tell you that.
Thank you,
your one of the first people to say im not stupid.
I know what you’re feeling; my parents are the same way too. Scar is right though, about letting your feelings out. If you ever want to chat, my email is pineapplejamaica@gmail.com.
Thanks, i just might take you up on that some day 🙂
dont distrust your feelings and definitely dont let people make light of them. at times i have been unnecessarily depressed, there is an appropriateness to it.
let it out hunny. dont keep it in its the worst might i mention the number one cause of suicide. if your parents dont understand surely your friends do
you’d be surprised
fight through it babe
I’m really sorry to say this but I have had the same problem since I was 13 and I’m 22 now….no change. If you are to talk to anyone you need to find someone exactly like you and going through what u are going through. If u can’t find one do not I repeat do not keep talking about it to them they will put u in a mental ward. The reason your parents say “talk about it” is because that what parents are suppose to do its like a rule they don’t REALLY want to hear it. Find a friend but be wary about who u tell becoming a social leper is no joke u will want to kill yourself even worse.
