Venting Having suicidal thoughts but family keeps judging

[PerfectNothing.]

I been telling my family about my suicidal thoughts but they keep saying "you shouldn't think that", "your to smart for that", "just stop it", "your doing it for a excuse" and, "your hurting us saying that". That's just some of the stuff they said.
I don't know why I'm expected to stay alive and suffer for a family that put me through so much trauma.

All those are typical responses I've come to expect from family. They don't have the ability to understand. They just think it's normal depression and acting out. They will probably realize only when it's too late.

Yepp, normal responses I have heard more times than I'd care to admit. =/ Please be careful in how much you tell them, my family would probably have me locked up in a damn psych ward =/

Welcome to SaSu!

What makes you suicidal? Have you told them what exactly makes you suicidal and what exactly triggers your MH issues?

I'm sorry you have to go through this and your family is so ignorant.

Regular people just simply do not understand.
My family put me thru SO much trauma and everyone is like oh.. you need God... or u just want attention. I've had friends say that suicide is selfish.
But honestly I think its selfish to want me to stay here and continue to suffer when u dont really even give a fuck about me low key.
Its hard finding people that understand those feelings. That's why I joined here... to talk to people with like minded thoughts.
Or at least thats my hope.
Anywho. Sending you positive vibes

Responses I think a lot of us heard from our loved ones or family. My least favourite thing ignorant people say is "It gets better" without any understanding of the existential suffering we endure daily. It is terrible that they choose to live in denial or simply do not understand.

In any case, welcome to SaSu. May you find community and comfort here.
