Your family not understanding how you feel ... I’m so tired of living a life where nobody understands me in my real life ... what’s the point ... everything is becoming to much .... I’m on the verge of tears ... 😭

I'm so sorry. We understand where you are coming from. What's wrong?

My step mom asked me what was wrong and I just said I was tired from work and she looked at me like how can you be tired from work ... then she asked me about my suicidal thoughts and I started to cry and walked away ...

in reply to Spirit19

I've heard that before from my own mom. The how can you be tired part. People don't seem to understand how exhausting depression and anxiety can be. Sounds like she needs to communicate better. But if you tell her how you feel, maybe she'll understand.

If I told her how I feel she’d tell my doctor

in reply to Spirit19

That sounds like she doesn't respect your privacy.

I’ve been there. Sometimes you just need to let it out! There’s nothing wrong with crying. You are not weak, you are sick. There’s a difference. You got up and went to work. That takes an incredible amount of strength for some of us! I get it.

Why did you walk away?..talk to her..please..I am hurting so much that my parents don't ask me how I'm doing where I'm literally withering in front of them and they ignore me..it kills me..you have someone close ..please tell her what's happening ..we are here for you too..

in reply to Spirit19

But she asked you..I cried Infront of my mum and she didn't even ask what's wrong...I now know where I stand with her..but your mum asked you and you walked away..go and talk to her and see what she has you say..tell her you found it hard to open up to her when she asked and tell her what the go is...if you don't get the reply your looking for, then so be it..we are here for you aswell..by the way, what's wrong?

Maybe everything IS for a reason and I believe good can come out of the bad

I dont know what it’s gonna take for me to be honest with my therapist and psychiatrist.... but if I want to move forward I’ll have to be honest .... :(

Maybe try being honest about one thing at a time and add on as you feel ready.

Some of the things are so hard to talk about ... some of them are embarrassing

Starrlight in reply to Spirit19

Oh same here. Some I think about and they drive me nuts because I can’t let go... but if we were to talk about it I think the less power it would have on us...
