Thoughts of suicide?!
Question:
Thoughts of suicide?
Hello, I have a question. Before I ask it I just wanted to say I am not suicidal. Okay here is my question. I fight with my sister often. When the arguments get intense I get so hurt I get thoughts of suicide. I am way too much of a coward to do it also I like myself too much. I want to know if anyone had any advice to help me not think of it when I get hurt.

You should seek some sort of professional help to help you learn how to cope with your sister's attitude. If you can't do that, you need to start speaking with your sister and let her know the way you feel. You also need to learn to fight fair when you fight with her. For example, watch the name calling (so hard to do at times when you are really angry or upset and can be verbally abusive); don't bring up stuff from the past (don't hold onto things, it is unhealthy both physically and emotianally); say what you mean, mean what you say; when the fight is over, don't dwell on it or hold grudges (another hard one at times)- when the fight is dont let it go. If she can't abide by this, or learn how to do this and you can, you are more emotionally healty than her.
