Today I woke up and I had an argue with my mom. She said she was thinking about killing herself. I don’t have father, I live with her, and I spent hours trying to convince her she is my everything. Her mother died last year, I know it’s hard. But I’ve lost my grandma last year, and if I lose my mom now, I’ll be alone. When I was about 10, she tried to kill herself with a shotgun. I hold it in my arms, she couldn’t take it from me. Now I know that she can try to suicide when I’m at school or something like this, and I saw in her eyes… she didn’t give up on the project.

I’m sorry. How old are you?
I’m 18.
If your mom is depressed because her mom died, maybe you should look into bereavement groups. Hospice sponsors some. It’s a good way for her to share her grief with others. I understand your mom’s pain as I lost my own mom but she has a child (you) and she really needs to keep it together.
Does your mom have any siblings that may be able to offer support?
More fulfilling than counting lamictal isn’t it?
Good for you, already making changes and wise enough to know that an 18 yr old can’t handle this situation alone.
Suicide prevention lines are also designed to help people who’s loved ones are suicidal.
Call one now please.
Peace
