Most of my life I have not felt motivated to do anything by my family. My mom is the only one who shows some support but I find myself saying “Why can’t my other family members do that?” Now look I do know what self motivation is in fact I consider myself the master of it because if I wanted motivation I would have to give myself it. For awhile it seemed good for things to be like that. You know put myself through some stuff without any encouragement but after awhile I long for it. I don’t ask for much just a simple “You can do it.” would be nice. Â I have attempted suicide and things seem to fade quickly in my family. They all forget about it. I guess it is true that ALMOST dying changes nothing, but ACTUALLY dying changes everything.

it’s undoubtedly comforting to have someone that believes in you: you feel more confident and less alone in your fight
the problem is: by expecting your relatives to believe in you, you’re giving some of *your power* to away .. a bit of support would be more than welcome, but please do not give them the power to make you doubt yourself (this sounds easy, I know)
if they won’t give you that tap in the back, fuck them
* pat on the back ^^
thanks.
