Sometimes I think I don't actually want to die; despite everything, I think deep down I still have a tiny spark of hope that I could get better if I received some help. But that's the problem: I can't bring myself to get help.

Asking for help seems too hard, too exhausting, so I just give up. My parents already have too many problems; I really didn't want to have to burden them with anything else—I've already been dead weight in their lives for too long. My friends couldn't help me. What could they possibly do? Besides, they have more important problems anyway.

I hate the fact that this sounds exactly like me just with less hope. Do it. I was supposed to call my sister and talk to her, try to figure out a way forward but I haven't for the same reason. She's got too much shit already, my parents dont give a fuck, my friends don't get it (I can't blame them they got their own stuff). But deep down I know it's the right thing to do. Have you talked to any professional about this? Maybe not wanting to end it all but feeling like complete shit in general

Odeio o fato de que isso soa exatamente como eu, só que com menos esperança. Faça isso. Eu deveria ligar para minha irmã e conversar com ela, tentar encontrar uma solução, mas não liguei pelo mesmo motivo. Ela já tem problemas demais, meus pais não ligam, meus amigos não entendem (e não os culpo, eles também têm os seus). Mas, no fundo, sei que é a coisa certa a fazer. Você já conversou com algum profissional sobre isso? Talvez você não queira acabar com tudo, mas se sinta um lixo completo no geral.
Fiz terapia por alguns meses em meados de 2022, depois de alguns episódios de automutilação. No entanto, não foi muito eficaz e comecei a mentir para não ter que ir mais. Fiz isso principalmente porque meus pais meio que zombavam de mim por causa da minha automutilação; eles faziam piadas sobre a minha situação e me faziam rir junto com eles. Desde então, desisti de procurar ajuda de alguém... meus pais eram tudo o que eu tinha naquela época (e ainda são).

Mas, ironicamente, hoje em dia, quando estou me preparando para cometer suicídio, tudo em que consigo pensar é na reação dos meus pais ao encontrarem a filha única deles morta. Imagino-os entrando na cozinha de manhã para preparar o café da manhã e me encontrando pendurada do outro lado da janela... isso me destrói. Eu os amo muito e não quero causar mais sofrimento a eles. No entanto, é absolutamente impossível conversar com eles sobre isso... eles já reagiram mal uma vez, e provavelmente reagiriam ainda pior agora.

I get you. When my parents found out I was taking antidepressants they were mad. Like really mad. They called my sister made a whole fuss about it but in the end they got it. I feel for you but you should go and talk to them. Tell them it's really, really bad. They might not get it but they love you from the way you describe it. They don't want to see you suffer even if it might somewhat feel that way. Take care of yourself you got it.

Also fix the translate because I don't think you're allowed to post not in English. I don't mind but the administrators probably will.

i've had many cases where i feel like "i'm fucked" and then i call someone or talk to someone (people who are sensitive and proper for such matters) and it genuinely makes me feel a lot better, especially in longer talks too.

My parents already have too many problems; I really didn't want to have to burden them with anything else—I've already been dead weight in their lives for too long.
I notice that instead of saying "my parents wouldn't listen/understand" you expressed your own personal concern for them.

This means you are concerned that expressing suicidal emotions to them may affect them tenderly, therefore, they seem like truly sensitive people.

The only case where I would hestitate to open up to someone about my suicidal emotion is if I think that there will be an adverse reaction, or that I will not receive the level of sensitivity I seek in such intimate matters.

Why not open up to your parents? That's one of the absolute closest bonds you can have; if that conversation goes well, then that has tremendous potential for support, both now and in time to come too.

But that's the problem: I can't bring myself to get help.
I mean you did make this post, asking other people for help, and that is very much a real act of getting help :).

The main barriers to getting help are due to real concerns you and me possess. Maybe we may misunderstand things, but I believe we sincerely do have good intentions. We want to feel safe, and we want to feel like we are a source of good to others too. We want to benefit others & feel valued, and we want to feel secure, unthreatened.

But the truth is that others are capable of taking a bit of stress and then moving on with their life, ESPECIALLY in the context of us continuing to be alive. Someone helping us with suicidal ideation is NOT a wound to them, but it is a healing for us. That healing is a moral good, and it is noble and lovely for both of us ♥.

What could they possibly do? Besides, they have more important problems anyway.
Someone being in such pain as to want to literally kill themselves is an important problem, regardless of what other people think. ♥



@literallynoone if it's possible could you please provide a translation to the Portugese? no pressure 🤗

My friends couldn't help me. What could they possibly do?
I think social bonds are capable of giving us not just short-term comfort but longer-term direct aid and true increases of power when it comes to our own issues; good social bonds can provide not only advice but active direct aid when it comes to our problems. For example, if we struggle with focusing on homework, a good friend can offer to study with us for 2 hours in shared physical presence, materially increasing focus.

By "my friends couldn't help me", do you mean that you have tried to seek support from your friends in the past? What was that experience like? ♥ 🫂



It's always worth talking to someone about our suicidal emotions ♥. You never know, you might discover something we did not know before 🤗💖.

Você mora no Brasil? Comecei a seguir você, eu sou brasileiro... Se quiser conversar comigo estou a disposição, já tentei explicar minha situação para meus pais e eles simplesmente não aceitam, negam a entender. Sei como é estar na sua situação, se quiser falar sobre isso ou sobre qualquer outra coisa, estou aí.



Do you live in Brazil? I've started following you, I'm Brazilian... If you'd like to chat, I'm here; I've tried explaining my situation to my parents, but they simply won't accept it, they refuse to understand. I know what it's like to be in your situation, if you want to talk about that or anything else, I'm around.

Quando a minha mãe descobriu que eu me cortava, ela ficou desesperada, nunca ela riu da minha situação, pelo contrário, até hoje ela não gosta de falar sobre isso.

Acho que seus pais podem ter feito isso como um mecanismo de defesa, ou apenas eles não ligam para você mesmo...

Mas se eles são tão importantes para você, seria uma boa ideia dizer para eles que você quer fazer isso;

Quanto a busar ajuda, sempre pode contar com os estranhos aqui do fórum, conte comigo. Tem tambpem o CVV: https://cvv.org.br/

O chat demora um pouco, já o telefone é direto (na minha experiência).

Huh after looking at the rules I guess the forum is not restricted to just English.
So nice to see people come through for someone in their own language. Love you all.

Try your parents, they might surprise you.
Also try a professional therapist, although the first one you try might not be perfect for you, try another until you find someone you feel good with.

You don't sound hopeless about this and you want to get better and not die from what I read. Sometimes we need help and that's alright.
Also I doubt your parents have anything more important in their life than you (and possibly your siblings if you have any).

As for all the further poetic sweet-talk @webb&flow covered that pretty much I think ❤️

I also want to mention that though professional therapists can really be good options, that they are far from the only options too ♥.

There are also social workers as well. If you happen to attend any kind of educational institution, it's possible that they have social workers at times even psychologists or even just general counselors on hand for you to talk to about your emotions. You can try generally telling them about the pain itself that is driving suicidal ideation if you feel scared to talk about the suicidal ideation itself, which is a valid concern: you can tell them what you are comfortable with, but the important thing is to explore what you can 🤗🤗 and that is never too late, and it is always an option :) 🤗.

By the way, what do you feel may be driving your pain, Maripoosa? 🤗 no judgment, no pressure; speak as much as you are comfortable with, and you are 100% free to write and say whatever you feel here, always 🤗🤗.

I would just not talk about plans because that is usually what gets you involuntarily admitted and there's not much use in that, quite the contrary in most cases imo. ideation is mostly a fine thing to talk about at least wherever I was...
But plans don't seem a major concern at this point anyway in her case.
