I don’t have a single family member or friend who gives a crap about my struggle with my suicidal thoughts or death talks. We don’t talk about it. I talked about them some times with some of my family but it did nothing, they don’t like it and don’t know how to help. When they gave advice trying to help, it sucked.

Yeah family and friends that have never been through this is pointless to talk to. Thats why we come here I suppose.
Almost none of my friends or family want to hear about it either. I guess I’m more numb to it, they are sensitive to when they can tell by my body language that I’m struggling. It’s been at least a six months since I said anything I do try hard not to, it depresses me more.
My therapist is trying to get me to talk to them about it, I have a few family who are cool about it but I don’t use it often. They’re also quite busy and troubled themselves.
Nobody likes to deal with suicide. Your family probably thought they could solve everything with their sucky advice, and when it didn’t work they quit trying. That’s exactly what I’ve seen with my own family, not just with me but with others who ended up killing themselves (yes multiple).
Friends are a little better than family because at least you can pick good friends. You can’t pick a good family.
