Glad you are planning on getting help. Suicidal thoughts can be scary to deal with alone. I recently had to do inpatient stay and so now my husband knows and we made a safety plan w/ my counselor. Which makes me feel safer now. Maybe something like that would help you? You can PM me if you ever need to talk

Hi Igor! I can relate, my parents weren't too caring about it. I think it was because it was embarassing for them since my mother was one of the few therapists in our small town. Either way, I recently got hooked up with a good doctor, therapist, psychiatrist, and some support groups that have really helped. Similar to Iloveart, I recently had to do an inpatient stay because I was having suicidal thoughts and was planning on acting. In your own time, look in to different options that might be right for you. I also agree in that I'm glad you are planning on getting help. My therapist told me that there is a thin line between thoughts and actions, so get help when the thoughts come. Anyways, I hope you have a great day- and congrats on making it to Thursday! Each day counts :)

Hey Igor! I understand! I can't talk to my parents either. Our relationship is strained. You can message me anytime.

Hi sometimes when you talk about things which are very painful some people get scared, they dont mean to push you away its just they dont know what to do. Believe that they do want you to feel better and sometimes you have to go it alone to find the answers deep down in your own soul. Find someone to talk to who will just listen, tell them they dont have to find solutions for you... just listen. I hope you find that person. Best wishes x

Glad you are here. Your feelings are real. We want people close to us to love us through them, and sometimes they are so caught up in their own lives or don't know how to respond. Our fears, anxieties, and depression need to be worked through. Sometimes that takes going to a counselor and support groups, and I am learning it's requiring me to develop a new identity, one that is healthier and does not include old thinking, friends, and habits. Change is hard and requires me to look deep. Working with a Christian counselor has really helped. Hope you can find help today and please keep posting.
