My family doesn't think it's a big deal?!
Question: My family doesn't think it's a big deal.?
I have told my mom about my suicidal thoughts and even told her how I would do it.
I just want to sleep all day and never wake up. It is even unbearable to type this up...
Well my mom just says I am lazy and need to cheer up. I have taken so many pills before but still my family just doesn't care.
I made an appt. to go see a psychologist tuesday but I don't think I can make it until then...
I stayed home from school today and my mom was angry because she says I am just being lazy but I don't wanna break down crying in class again.
She doesn't care, she just says that I better go tomorrow or else I will ruin my GPA. My GPA... she actually cares more about that than she does me.
I have called the suicide hotline...didn't work. My parents don't want me to check into a psychiatric hospital because it will cost too much.
What the **** am I to do.?Health Question & Answer

Answers:
There is nothing that anyone can say about your family on here, because nobody knows your family, like you do. My suggestion to you, is to call the psychologist and see if there is anyway you can get in any earlier. What I can tell you about a good psychologist is that help is not immediate, but it does help knowing that you are taking the steps to help yourself by talking to a non-judgemental person, who for that 1 hour is focused only on you and your issues.
If you are unable to change your appointment, then you need to somehow find someone to be with you at all times, so you are not doing something to yourself. If has to be your mom, then great, it will help her see what is actually going on with you, and not just laziness.
Right now...try as much as you can not to focus on the hurt, or whatever. I know it's really difficult, I KNOW!!!!!! Do your best...watch a TV program that you like, an upbeat movie, go to the library, or somewhere you really enjoy being. Whatever will take your mind off it, DO IT!!!!!!!! (besides harming yourself, of course).

.When you talked to the Suicide Hot Line did you tell them that you want help but your parents won't help you.? Most counties have a Mental Health dept that you can seek help from if your parents won't help. Look in the phone book under your county and then find Mental Health, they have got to have some kind of Crisis Dept. If you need to be hospitalized the county will have you hospitalized and your parents will have to pay it might be on a sliding scale. Don't wait to take pills you might just take the wrong amt. and really kill yourself, which I don't think you really want to do. You could also damage yourself forever neurologically. There is help out there you just have to search a bit more. You might even try the Suicide hot-line again you may get a different counselor and that might make all the difference. Good Luck!Health Question & Answer
Hi friend,
Unfortunately when people don't understand, it's easy for them to make excuses or blame you for what is going on. I experienced a very similar situation. Although my family got me help, they made me promise to not tell anyone, not even my brother. I was forced to carry my emotional problems alone, at a very young age. I had no one to talk to about it and they made me feel like I was misbehaving. On top of the sadness, I was being punished from my own family. Now that I am older, I simply have to understand that they just do not know what it is like to suffer with depression. They can't fathom the heartache and frustration and they were too embarrassed to allow me to open up to others for fear they would be labeled as bad parents. I had to learn to forgive them because I know it is their ignorance, not lack of love that damaged me for so many years.
Sometimes we have to be the person who advocates for what we know we truly need. This may mean you have to seek out help for yourself whether your family decides to support you or not. You are worth it and you deserve to get help.
If you can, try to separate your understanding of depression from your parents. When people don't know what to do, they tend to unfortunately damage us even more in the process. Just know that none of this is your fault and it has nothing to do with being lazy. In your heart you understand it is an illness, just like diabetes...although it is an illness not well understood.
Please do everything you can to advocate for your happiness. You were not meant to suffer alone and there are many people out there who, unlike your family, do understand and want to help you.Health Question & Answer

in a way i understand you..i have never had suicidal tendencies but i do self-harm and it is due to an event that happened many years ago involving a man very close to my family touching my lady area and attempting to kiss me when i was 14 or 15. It gave me terribly low self-esteem and i hate myself because i believe it is my fault it happened because i would simply sit on his knee from time-to-time and ask for his help with maths, that's when he would do this. even today (im 19 now!)i will still blame myself. This has caused me, like i said, to develop low self-esteem. I hate myself, loathe my body with all its wobbly bits and stretch marks!! I know i need help because i have been told i am on my way to becoming anorexic so i went to my GP myself and explained myself. She herself wrote a letter to the local psychiatric hospital for me to see a councellor and my mother doesn't have to know!...

I'm so sorry, that is terrible! I would go see the psychologist, that will probably help. I would say make a list of all the good traits that you have and read them out loud to yourself. This should help. Umm..try to call the hotline again! Don't listen to your parents, if you think that you will kill yourself and need help then you do...I would check into a psychiatric hospital if you really feel that you need to. I bet your mom just can't believe that her baby is having those thoughts, she might be in denial. Wake her up and if you think that you need help then don't hesitate, go get help, your doing this for YOU not HER so I would say go for it and get help even if you have to do it by yourself.Health Question & Answer
wow.. sounds like you have a pretty tough situation at home.. but i noticed something..it seems as if you are dwelling on allot of things that you need to let go...i mean its only natural for people to get a little down sometimes.. but don't let things eat you up inside so badly to the point where they are taking control over your life. what i mean is yeah you might be going through crap right now.. but think of your future you'd be giving away if you were to kill yourself.. i mean please really seriously think about what you would do to you.and your family if you killed yourself. im begging you please tough it out and talk to someone professional about your problems.Basically, you have to think thoroughly about the consequences of your actions.BE STRONG GIRL, I BELIEVE IN YOU:) you will come out of this depression state! i know you will..keep the fight up okay..you will make it far in life...you just need to to be determined to turn your life around:))

i understand where you are coming from. you should try your hardest to make it to your psychologist appointment. when i first got a psychiatrist i found relief just knowing she could help, before i had even been prescribed anything. it's unfortunate that your parents aren't trying to help but i'm sure they DO care, they just don't understand what you are going through. if you can talk to any friends or other relatives that could help. i wish you the best of luck.

I'm really sorry that you think like that. If you want a little more help on this, why do you feel like this.?.? Do your friends reject you.? If that's the case, I definitely know what that feels like. But if you ignore them and find another group of friends, everything will become better. If that's not what's wrong, tell me. You can talk to me because I have also had those feelings. Just e-mail me at bluewave1256@yahoo.com. Haha, kinda cheesy, but just remember it for whenever no one will talk to you.Health Question & Answer
