TW: suicidal feelings

Kate_20Kate_20 Posts: 653 Incredible Poster
edited December 2021 in Health & Wellbeing
I want to hide my symptoms from my parents. I hate them continuing asking about it. I do not deserve their attention and I do not deserve treatment. I don't want them to spend more money on me. I really hope nobody would care if I die so that I don't need to feel guilty. I am done with my life and I hate breathing.

    Sending you lots of strength Kate <3

    I'm hearing how much you're going through at the moment and it doesn't sound easy at all. You've shown a lot of strength in reaching out to us and you're doing really well opening up.

    It sounds tough with your parents checking in with you a lot and I hear how overwhelming it's feeling. You mentioned that you don't deserve their care, can you tell us more about that?

    From what you've shared here and getting to know you over the last few months, you're a lovely person and deserve so much kindness and support. I've sent you a PM from The Mix account to check in with you privately too, but do keep posting here to let us know how you're feeling <3

    Remember these services are always a call and text away anytime you'd like someone to talk to or feel unsafe. There's lots of caring people out there to help you <3

    @Aife @Riley @Lucy307 I feel like maybe I made up my depression because my parents have done nothing wrong to deserve it. I also don't want them to worry about me. Now they are complaining about me doing the laundry too slowly and how disorganised my room is. They also complained about me sleeping in the day. I already reached my limit. It is hard to do everything when I do not feel like doing anything. It is hard to do my dissertation when I cannot concentrate enough to do it. I feel stupid. Sitting on the chair is also hard because I could feel my bones. I just hope someone could save me and help me end my life.

    @Kate_20 I don't think you've made up your depression, whatever you feel is valid. Sometimes our depression makes us see things through a black and white lens, and everything is either really good or really bad, and it can lead us to feeling negatively towards people we love. I wonder, have you spoken to your parents about how badly you're struggling with your mental health right now? Maybe they're just not able to process that you're struggling, so may need you to explain to them how hard you're finding things right now. Also, please remember we're all on our own journey's and it's okay if you're struggling sometimes, it won't always be possible to be able to do everything you want, but it's important to be kind and gentle with yourself, you're trying the best you can and that's all anyone can ask for. Your best will change day to day and whatever is your best that day is more than enough, whether it meets other peoples expectations or not.

    It may be helpful to contact your dissertation advisor and maybe get an extension on it if you're struggling right now, to take some of the pressure off.

    Please know we're all here for you and we all care so much about you. Your depression may be telling you that life isn't worth it but you've got so much ahead of you, things you don't even know about yet. You are worth more and you've done incredible to get where you are right now <3

    Thank you for talking some more about what you're going through @Kate_20 I know it can be really hard to open up about these things so I just want you to know how proud I am of you for doing so.

    I totally agree with everything @Brookee said before me, and I'd just like to reiterate that everyone here on the boards is rooting for you and if there's anything any of us can do to help just let us know. I really hope you're able to get through this as best you can. <3<3<3
