I did, and unless you trust your family I wouldn’t recommend that you share it with them. Sure, reactions vary, but I just regret so much trying to tell them anything as my problems are trivialized as if they meant nothing. About your therapist, be careful because if you go into detail too much you may get institutionalized.
My primary care doctor knows. Ive felt this way for 24 years though so….I’m still fucking here. My husband knows. You just have to know what NOT to say in order to not get locked up in psychward. Its so hards. Just wish it would all end already.
Its been a living hell. I just dont understand why i cant build up the courage. I build up more and more everyday. I stay alive for my 3 dogs. Just watch who you tell. Most people (family, friends) will run away from it/you because it scares them and they will try to change the topic. This in turn could make you feel worse. Especially when its someone close to you. When someone did this to me i had to really make them sit down and really get them to focus and listen to me. Even then…no one ever REALLY understands unless they have felt what we have felt.
No I haven’t .. doesn’t seem like the best thing to do for me because I literally have no one to trust to not throw it back in my face or share my story to others . If you have someone to trust deeply go for it tho .
I have had mixed results so far. I talk to my mother about it often and she handles it really well but it makes me feel guilty to see her get sad about it. She asked me if I did it to please take her out with me, which was unnerving.
I tried to talk to my father about it just today. He said I eventually have to stop wallowing in it. I became upset and started crying and trying to explain how hard it is to deal with. He then accused me of yelling at him, started pushing me and trying to goad me into punching him. I took his sunglasses off so I could see his eyes and said “you don’t know me” then I ran away in tears. I walked 10 miles home to avoid riding in his car and heard from my mother that he would UPS me my bag because he does not want to see me anymore.
That sounds very painful, I’m sorry you had to go through this.
I somewhat know the feeling when parents react to my pain as if it would be some kind of attack against them. It’s really unfair.
Hey, BlueRoseWhy…how are you doing?
I’ve told a few people when I’ve been really bad. Haven’t shard it with the cats, though. 🙂 I usually try and get one of them to come next to me when I’m really down.
Not the best these days, but it varies I guess. I only talk to the walls lately and my therapist. The walls know (though never been very clear with them either), therapist got a million hints from me though my suicidal thoughts started to really proliferate these days mostly. I intend to talk to him about it though I’m afraid he might think I just want to be dramatic or something.
@bluerose
i think, unfortunately, it would be helpful to consider what LightOfHope & halfleft [really sorry for what happened 🙁 ] said…
so that what should be a relief doesn’t turn into being a new problem… 🙁
[p.s. i replied to our previous conversation & apologies for the delay <3 ]
Well my mother is one reason I’m not doing it (besides some hopes and dreams still lingering around within sometimes).
I cannot imagine telling my parents. I cannot imagine telling them about any negative emotions…let alone suicidal thoughts…(well maybe that’s why I’m here…having those thoughts)

People don’t understand because they themselves have never gone through it. I personally just keep to myself because no one understands.

Hm, I cannot imagine telling my doctor…though she knows I’ve been depressed.
That sounds like a long time livng with this…I’m sorry
Yeah, I have days when I wish to be in the hospital but I don’t know…

I tell the dog frequently. No one else would want to hear it.
