my mom makes fun of the fact that i’m suicidal. she says that people who are suicidal are egoists, attention-seekers. she keeps on telling me that i am the cause of my depression. as time goes by i hate her even more.
WOW, I’m so sorry that you tried to get help from the one person that should take you seriously and she can’t see it. I wish there was something I can say to ease your pain, but I am as empty and feeling lost.
Maybe you can get an appointment with a psychiatrist and your mom can join you so they can educate her about your condition.
I’m sorry. she’s probably very misinformed about it. either way its not right to make such comments, no wonder people don’t wanna tell someone close to them about this because this is what can happen…
I’m sorry to hear that, I really am. This isn’t okay. You are no egoist, you are asking for help and someone doesn’t understand that. And that someone is your mom. All I gotta say is that she ain’t right. Suicide is not something to take lightly or be seen as selfish. Sometimes one feels like there’s no options and so suicide seems like the only way out of your pain. Trust me and our community here when we say that there are others out there who will listen and take you more seriously than how she responded. My father kinda did the same thing, I only became a burden. I dealt with it by realizing that sometimes the people closest to you aren’t always helpful for you. I severed ties with my father and even 3 of my siblings because they were toxic for me. You should try to find different people who are more understanding. Do you have siblings, uncles, aunts, grandparents? Maybe you’ve got a close friend? I would reach out to anyone else you could possibly think of? If they respond the same then move on to someone else. The whole world can’t possibly be against you. There are others out there who know what your going through, they can help.
Your mother reacted poorly. Seems like she’s trying to deflect the guilt. A lot of people just don’t get it. I’m sorry. I think mom could have handled that better. It took courage for you to confide in her.
I always been ready to commit, I should have learned younger to never say anything at all. Because they’ll take all your power away .. you’ll be left empty decay and rotting yet just alive because your heart beats
Some people don’t know how to deal with being told, so they ignore it. Some see it as looking for attention..the old “if you are talking about it, you are just looking fo attention”, it’s bs, sometimes we talk about it because we are fighting and looking for help to hold on. Dont give up. She sounds like she just can’t accept you are going thru this, talk to someone who will actually listen
