Scared to tell her I'm suicidal?!


Question: Scared to tell her I'm suicidal?
I'm depressed and have a lot of suicidal thoughts and these past days I feel I will kill myself if another bad thing happens. I tried to hang myself in my closet yesterday. Anyways I have an appointment with my therapist on Wednesday and I'm scared to tell her. I don't know what will happen. If my mom found out she will be really upset and I don't talk about my feelings with her. What will happen if I tell my therapist?

Answers:

You should tell her. I was in your position before, and the following process is gonna suck a lot but will change your life.
Suicidal thoughts aren't easy to deal with, especially alone. You need to learn the right coping skills and be put on a good medication to help you fight these thoughts. You should also open up to your mother some more. I was hesitant to tell my parents I was gonna off myself, but ever since they found out they have been nothing but supportive. I think you'll be surprise with her reaction.
If you ever need to talk, feel free to email me at ryanaz@comcast.net
I've been through this crap, and it gets easier. Trust me.



As a mental health provider I can assure you that your therapist won't be upset with you. She may feel for your situation, but don't mistake this for anger or disappointment in YOU as a person. If you feel that you need help immediately please call the National Suicide Help Line at 1-800-273-8255. If you are uncomfortable sharing these feelings with your therapist, perhaps you should consider getting a different one. Your recovery is what is most important - not the feelings of your counselor. But again, your counselor is used to this and will not be upset with you for telling him or her.



I don't like speaking about my feelings too. When I went to a therapist for my depression, I was so ashamed and scared but the therapist starteg asking me things, she gave me a test to complete where I had to answer questions about my psychological health and then she referred me to a psychiatrist because only a psychiatrist can prescribe drugs. I was glad I sought for help because antidepressants really helped me. They kinda changed my personality as I stopped analysing myself and my failures and started concentrating on a present moment. Please don't try to take your life again. Go to a therapist and be brave. You have a right to ask for help. Good luck and sorry for my English



Usually your doctor will keep it confidental, but in this case she'll notify your mum because you are self-injuring and/or suicidal. Don't kill yourself, silly. God put you here for a reason. Not religous? You're still here. Don't you want a family? A life ahead of you? Don't be afraid, they're there to help you. And NEVER use an event to decide apon this. It's crazy. Remember, your mom loves you. She'll feel horrid if you kill yourself. I think you should talk to your therepist, and she'll help you be happy again. You could tell her you're worried about telling your mum, and see if she'll help you that way.

PLEASE don't do this. It's really silly if you really look at it. See if you can get an EMERGENCY appointment, or call the Sucidial Hotline, or even 911 if it comes to that.
I don't know you, but
I love you. Everybody does.

hey hun

just thought id send a message too and give advice.
im also someone who is very depressed. i suffer with it for months at a time then it randomly dissapears. i also have suicidal thoughts and think about it everyday how i would end it all. i have also attempted this my last attempt was last week. i had counselling before and i felt much better but it didnt last as i stopped going. ive now returned to my doctors surgery and hopefully will be sorting it out for good. its a long journey i know and will be hard but i know i have my family and friends who care about me and im sure i can get through it. im currently optimistic about myself for the past 3 days and i have to take advantage of it when i can as i dont want to go down to the dark pit i had before.

what im saying is if you dont ask for help and are completely honest about it with the people who want to help you then nothing can be done and you will be stuck like this for how long you iwsh to keep it that way. tell the therepist how you feel explode with your emotions she wants you too and from this will be able to surely help you along

good lukc and i hope you solve this crisis in your life :) xx



This is kinda nuts as i have had the same problem recently except i have no therapist and its my doctor im afraid to tell (my mum would also be upset and i would never tell her). If you love your mother hang on to that because if she found u dead she will die inside too. If you dont mind me asking what caused the depression as i would be happy to give my best advise as i kinda know what your going through.



please get the suicide help hotline or 911 if you feel like self-harming or killing yourself. definitely talk to your mom and your therapist as soon as possible. this is a medical emergency. you've gotta stay alive. find something to live for..or someone. your mom would care, she'd miss you if you were gone. people can help. real people can help. so reach out and talk to someone, please. <3 *hugs and good luck with life*



telling someone is the VERY BEST thing you can do. nobody wants you to be gone from this world. if you choose to tell your mother also, i think it will bring you two closer. She -can- help you through this. Your mother might be upset, but she would be much happier that you are alive and well. :)
Have a wonderful life <3



please don't kill yourself! i bad things are happening now, that means that good things are going to happen soon. tell her, its better if you tell her, i had suicidal thought once, but i know that you can overcome that.
There is much more to life!



I would tell your mom what your going through...It best you tell her before you tell your therapist that might hurt her feelings.Try to think positive it may be hard but it may help...and Im not sure what the therapist will do maybe give you meds.



I would keep it to yourself for a while. Depending on your age, the therapist would be obligated to tell your mother.

Been there, done that.



yeh right... uhummm..
