Do your family know about your suicidal thoughts?

[Steamm]

I used to talk to them about how I'm feeling but they wouldn't care much. Suicidals arent taken very serious until they ctb. So I stoped talking about it to not sound like a whining bitch as they think

 

[faust]

My mom once found xanax pills and started saying that those who take such pills commit a suicide. Well, she was right... Not a joke, saying as it is

 

[Indieblue]

I guess. But not in the exact details about emotion. They think i am happy when i smile.

 

[TheGoodGuy]

Nope I used to tell my brothers about it or to be fair I talked about it none stop around age 20 and they told me to stop because it made them depressed which I understand because I really talked about it a lot in a desperate hope that they would understand.

Suicidals arent taken very serious until they ctb

And for this part.

 

[Mooshi]

No, thankfully. I wish I could be honest with them, but I don't wish to be thrown into a psych ward or have psychiatry forced onto me again..

 

[BPD Barbie]

Yeah my parents and godparents know. I just told them outright and that was that. They don't think I'll act on it, not sure who's fooling who at this point.

 

[WhyamIstillhere]

I've never said a thing about it to anyone irl. Esp. not family.

 

[Mustkeyknow]

Yes, but we're all pretending I'm doing better since my last attempt.

 

[waterbottleman]

No and I'll never tell anyone either.

Im seriously considering suicide so I don't want anyone to stop me.

 

[Rue89]

My mom suspects I am suicidal, but I'll never actually admit it cause she'll stop me.

 

[issyishere]

I'm sure they have their suspicions based on my moods but they probably don't know the extent

 

[Largeletters]

Yes, several do. Many relatives and family members are/have been mentally ill so I'm sure it's not a surprise.

 

[Clut]

Mine don't. I don't know how to tell people. That's why I'm grateful for this forum which I've been reading over the last 24 hours. First comment, hi.

 

[Mr2005]

My family are lucky I'm still alive

 

[PoisonedJuliet]

My family has no idea. They think I'm just "moody". Little do they know I have so many demons inside and they're eating me alive from the inside out. Luckily I was a theatre kid so I'm good at acting

 

[luna666]

They do. Since I've been in and out of treatment for about 10 years now. Never kept as a secret from anyone, but I think they don't know how much is true, they probably think I'm exagerating, even after some messed up events. But living with certain health and mental health problems for so long can damage everything, from friendships, family relations to personal goals, dreams and my own personality, and I always been talkative about how frustrated I was about leaving everything behind and f***ing everything up for so long.

 

[sleep_dealer]

Even though it's been a very constant thing for me for the past months, there's only a few people close to me I'd tell that I'm inclined to die; not because of actively wanting to hide my state from them or anything, but because I don't want them to feel worried about me. I can only imagine that one would develop endless concern, dread, and worry for a person once you know that they're actively suicidal. I don't want to inflict that on anyone I care for. It sounds like a kind of cloud that just looms over everything and won't go away; I've got enough of that myself as it is. I'd also imagine that you'd just get the same sort of platitudes that you'd just hear ad nauseum from an uninformed/non-understanding viewpoint, the ones dismissive and minimizing of the core issue itself. "Don't be so down, it gets better, you got to do what you got to do, you're just whining, you're selfish," etc.

Welcome to SS!

 

[Lost4toolong]

No. Too afraid to tell them. The potential of feeling whole and loved stopping me

 

[JohnUK]

Short answer is no and they won't. Besides I don't have the best relationship with them and don't really talk to them either

 

[Lostandfound7]

After a melt down last month, I told my close friends i was very depressed n tired of living, but they still didn't know the severity of it at the time cuz I'm good at masking n hiding the pain...

Around the same time, I told my husband cuz I couldn't contain it...he broke down crying n begged me to not do that..He started hiding all the Tylenol in the house n when I had a headache the next day, he went into a secret stash n came back with only 2 pills..lol..smdh

My mother would D.I.E. if she ever knew that I ever seriously considered ctb...

Hi! Welcome, luv!

 

[gnomeboy17]

Too afraid to tell my parents. I don't want everything to change. They'd obviously ban internet access and remove anything that's possibly dangerous (such as sharp objects) also suicide is in a lot of films and they either wouldn't let me watch it or it would just feel very awkward. I'm already so unstable and I think a massive change caused by telling my parents would make my life so unliveable.

 

[zeroambition]

Yes.. both parents and one sister are aware of my plan to ctb.

 

[medicinenightmares]

lmao yeah all of my family knows of what a wreck I am but they don't give a fuck.

Aww, your husband sounds like he really cares for you. :)
&I am sorry to hear that you're feeling so low.
I feel like I can't tell anyone. My family would never hear me &my friends are moving on with their lives... who am I to lay this on them? I don't think it's fair.

 

[Clut]

Drs should executed for even prescribing any benzos, those things are proof big pharma and drs are having sex with each other
