My mom told me she can’t live without me

But I have to do this man, and it's quite short. Clock is ticking.

It could be your mom, your girlfriend/boyfriend, etc but in the end, the decision is up to you.
I understand how you're feeling because something like that is happening with my dad. I can't exit this world for now.

Lucky you. Mine didn't give a rat's ass when I told her was high risk and had made past attempts.

Same here and it's literally the only reason I'm still alive/trying to live. Having a loving parent can be a blessing and a curse. I understand people might think the grass is greener on other side but the pain of knowing I'll essentially kill my mom has kept me here in limbo because simply having a loving parent isn't enough to stay alive.

My mom would tell me the same thing. I would still do it. I just see it as guilt tripping me. How would it be fair for me to watch her die but not vise versa?

Is she telling you how much she loves you?
It sounds like she may be.

same here...but i cant stand this torment any longer. this situation is hell. feel you.

Same. I'm staying for my family. I would have ctbed months ago if it wasn't because of that. But I feel suicidal most of time I'm awake.

 

[Mr2005]

Same. It's not my mum though it's my girlfriend. I just can't do it to her even though the only reason I'm awake now is because I can't sleep. I'm in absolute hell and there isn't anything she or anyone else can do about it.

Same here. I'm her world but I need to suicide. I was also my father favorite when he was alive.

 

[Starchaser]

I'm scared to tell mom that I'm suicidal, we already have a bunch of problems to face in home and she went through a lot in life... So, saying her son is sick and depressed would make things worst, imo.
Also I think it's a consensus that when we kill ourselves, we are killing the people which cares and love us too, which is the hardest part.
I can achieve piece thinking on CTB, but the reaction of parents & loved ones with that, always kills me inside and keeps me insecure to do what I gotta do.

We are essentially killing people we love when we kill ourselves, this is an harsh reality.

 

[Lupgevif]

My dad said this too; same dad who said "just do it then" when I told him I was suicidal. My mom also agrees I should just kill myself (even though she thinks it's just a bluff), but she never said she can't live without me or anything similar.

hey, hope your doing well.

i feel like were in similar situations tbh. like if i didnt have my mom, i know for a fact i would've jumped off the bridge right next to my house.

it makes me wonder when my mom does pass, how quick i'll go through with ctbing then cause i'll have nothing to hold me back.

the only reason i hadn't done it yet was mainly cause of support and livability issues with her if i were to leave. but with my siblings growing up and doing great, i do believe it'll easier to leave now than before.

its definitely a tough decision. but you'll know when the times right and honestly, the things holding you back now wont matter anymore when you've reached your breaking point, which is scary.

i wish you the best of luck with whatever decision you choose to make.

take care.
