I’m currently 17 at the time of writing this, and to cut a long story short, for the past 4 months or so I’ve been having suicidal thoughts which have been getting progressively stronger up to now, for various reasons. I am in a rut with my life and I don’t know who there is to talk to about this. I fear that if I talk me wanting to kill myself with my friends then they’ll mock me, take it as a joke or even completely start to ignore me as I’m sure that some people can’t handle talking about this subject. I’m not very close with any of my family as I’ve kind of drifted away from them. I live with my older brother and father and currently, on a daily basis I might share 20 words with them collectively. I don’t feel comfortable at all talking with my family about general things, and so to discuss my feelings and suicide with them would be a impossible. I guess what I’m asking is who can I talk to about me wanting to kill myself.
On a side note, this is my first time using this website.
Thanks in advance,
~A Cannibal Baby.

if you really have the urge to speak to someone about it, you should carefully and methodically survey your friends individually. I wouldn’t present it to them in a group, but pick one that you are closest too. You should have a pretty good idea who you can trust. You’re going to get the “you need to seek help” speech and after speaking with them, they will be lurking over your shoulder needing updates on your mood.
You should think about what you’re wanting to take away from opening up. It will definitely change the dynamics of your friendship.
first of all, you’ll find many sympathetic ears here to listen to you…welcome !
second (without knowing you), you almost certainly don’t want to kill yourself, what you DO want, is to get away from a situation/situations that are very painful for you
so, the first step is in trying to identify what EXACTLY are those situations that are so painful…from there, the next step is to see how you can either change those situations or replace them with other ones that are more pleasant
at least here you’ll find people who are sympathetic and can give you advice
Many people on this site are going through what you are going through and will always have an open ear. I can already tell you that im always here for anyone that needs someone to talk to. I will never ignore anything that needs someone to talk to. I understand what its like to wanna kill yourself and im more than happy to talk to you. Im always here for you. You will get through this. I promise
