i did.. multiple times. for info, im 15. my parents found out and said i was seeking attention, “and only did it bc smithing didn’t go my way” which wasn’t true, obviously. i got pissed, bc they don’t understand what i’m going thru. and i’ve been suicidal for a few yrs now, since 5th or 6th grade.. yeah idk what else to say, it would be nice to talk to smn tho. (=・ω・=)
We all have integral parts of life, and that’s reality. But trust me when I say, it gets better. Suicide is often condemned as an act of selfishness, or cowardice. But cowardice has nothing to do with it, suicide takes immense courage. What’s selfish is to demand an individual to tolerate a miserable existence just for family, friends, and a little bit of longing. So don’t listen to remarks implying that you are selfish. Because you aren’t. Suicide isn’t what kills, it’s sadness. I, too, had once been in a similar situation. Everyday I felt like I was living in a constant loop. Tolerating, and tolerating till I couldn’t anymore. My only purpose in life was solely yearning for death to free me. I still feel this way sometimes, but i remembered that I only have one, short life. So what is the point of cutting that thread even shorter? Even if your life is full of pain and suffering, there is always times of warmth that come along with your pain. I’m not saying that your misery is justified, I’m saying that you have to at least make an effort to see life in a better aspect. Just one mere thing in the entire universe, no matter what it happens to be, can be your reason for staying. Eventually I found my reason, even though I’m not entirely content with my life, I’m also not as miserable as I used to be. Just have a bit of hope and faith in life, I swear it gets better. It might sound cliche, or repetitive. But take it from me, you can find bliss and peace even in the most dark states of your life. If you ever need someone to talk to feel free to dm me :) your not alone in this intolerable world.
Reading through OP's post and all these comments, it’s so unfair that you had to face those words when you needed comfort the most. I’m incredibly sorry that so many of you were met with judgment instead of the support y'all deserved...
im just really glad that you and everyone in this thread are still here today. even though we’re just strangers on the internet yes, I’m genuinely wishing for nothing but the best for all of you. hope things get easier and that you all find the peace and the 'home' you truly deserve
im sorry things are going this way currently, i have to say im proud and glad for you to be still being here today and i dont think you need to hear anyone else like your parent sucking the life out of you like that, they dont feel your pain and youre the one who had to deal w the pain everyday so i feel like whatever negativity they say automatically doesnt matter anymore cus in the nicest way possible, theyre horrible parents to even think of saying stuff like that to you,
i relate to you alot cus ive attempted a few times in my life and personally, everytime i wake up i realize that im kind of glad i failed, im glad to be able to still interact with new people, looked at the sky one more time, hear new musics, read and learn new stuff every day i spent living after i tried ending it all , i know things are harsh currently and whatever ppl might say might feel like "they just dont understand" and i get it, its hard to stay positive or think of wanting to continue, when everything feels like its just crushing at you all at once currently, but i hope you know and can feel that ur pain right now will pass and i wish you well in the life you have currently and i hope life treats you better so u can stick around longer
hey i tried to commit around that age too and in group therapy i learned that a lot of parents say those things when their child attempts. my therapist always said to “give them attention.” a lot of suicidal people (including myself) don’t actually want to kill themselves, they just want the internal pain to stop. i condemn your dad for saying that your attempt was for attention, however, i think he is admitting that he doesn’t give you enough. after my attempt, my parents were very dismissive, but took the effort to recognize the signs whenever i have an episode again. attempts are a cry for help, a last cry for help, and don’t feel terrible for expressing the depression that you’ve been going through for years. please shoot me a message if need someone to talk to. also it gets better just try to keep yourself busy to distract yourself from those thoughts. you’re strong and you can get through this!
Attempted when I was 23. Almost went into a coma. If my phone had been off i wouldn't be here. Got sent to the psych ward, then rehab for a few months after it happened. Please remember, dont do a permanent solution for a temporary problem. You arnt stuck where you are right now. In 10 years things will be completely different.
im glad youre still around white gravvy <3 im so glad to still see you around till this day even if we dont know eachother, i hope ur days r kinder ever since that day
I went through the same thing at your age. For a few years after the fact, my dad would bring it up during arguments constantly to make me feel bad. He really resented me for it because he was convinced I only did it to "get back at him" (whatever that means).
I guess the only advice I can give you is to learn to pick your battles. When I was about 18 or 19, I had enough of him trying to guilt me over it, so I yelled back a lot of awful things too and we had a really nasty fight. I do regret stooping so low, but I guess it made him reflect a bit, because he stopped bringing it up as much after that. We still don't have a great relationship, but it's gotten somewhat better over time.
My situation might not be the best example to follow, because I admittedly didn't make much of an effort to fix my relationship with my dad for many other reasons, but just know there is always a way out of whatever situation you're in. Nothing is ever as hopeless as it seems
