Firstly hunny, none of this is your fault! You have alot going on in your life at the moment, all of which is out of your control. Suicide is not the answer. How would your family feel? The best thing you could do right now is find someone close who you can talk to and trust with your feelings. Don't be afraid to open up and cry on their shoulder. You are only 13, let someone else support you and help to give you the strength to give your mum some support. Give her a hug, tell her how much you love her, ditto for your dad and your brother too if you feel up to it - I know little brothers can be a pain sometimes lol! You will be amazed at how showing others you care can lift your own spirits. Try to focus on the future, and not dwell on the past.
Please don't think about suicide. My own daughyter tried to take an overdose three times, she also used to self harm, eventually she was diagnosed with depression and we all helped her through it as a family. We clung together, now she feels awful for what she put me through at the time. I blamed myself but it was other factors that triggered it for her. Now if she feels a bit low, we have some special time together, we go out for a coffee and just talk about what's troubling her. Sometimes a hug will suffice.
Keep your chin up hunny and remember, things will improve for you. Good luck xx
Slow down, girl. Too much information without enough information. :D
It will get better. Just wanted to say that first.
Right now, it is perfectly okay to focus on doing good things for your father who is in the hospital. Pray for him everyday, go to see him, do whatever you can. It will also help YOU feel better in the process. It seems heavy, and will seem that way throughout, but there will be bits of warmth and lightheartedness mixed into it all.
You and your brother are too young to be stressing. What you can both do is try to help keep your mother relaxed. Make things easier for her at home, by helping out with chores, not bickering, etc.
Obviously, the theft accusation is not a good thing, and your mother will be stressing about it. Try to fix the problem, and change any habits which might result in your getting accused again. Are you hanging out with thieving friends? (For instance.) Try to raise the money somehow. You can do this without telling others what it is for. Ebay sales, crafts, garage sales, bake sales, car wash! (Car washes go over big, especially if people see it's siblings trying to earn money for something they want.) You may even surpass your goal.
I know this all seems too "easy" but you could try?
