Pour your emotions out to them please they’ll help don’t think just express what you’ve been holding in
You could write them a letter, or you could start therapy and ask the therapist to talk to them ?
I gues you can start off small tell them that your Not feeling well and that you haven’t been feeling like your normal self for quite a while, then slowly escalate to depression and after a bit more time tell them about your suicidal thoughts
Your very brave for doing this I would never attempt to do what your doing but it’s probably because I like being discreet about who I really am
is there a trusted friend or counselor you have already confided in? If so, let them in on your intention. If not, maybe that would also be a good thing. I don’t know your parents so I can’t say how they’ll react. But I know that sometimes parents can overreact…even when they don’t want to. Starting off small sounds like a good plan. Maybe it can lead to getting some other outside help. Having a counselor on your side can help you work out how to include your parents.
And you are very very brave for giving this consideration.
