Today, I was feeling suicidal and needed to talk to someone about it, so I called up the only person in the world who cares about me: my mom. Or so I thought. Her immediate response was, “You should go ahead and end it.” FML

I’m so sorry that you are going through a hard time, but it will pass. Your story isn’t over, you are needed here. YOU MATTER!! Please don’t listen to anyone that ever tells you to end it, no matter who the person is! I really hope you are okay, keep fighting. There’s light at the end of the tunnel, I promise! It’s worth fighting for

I'm really hoping that she didn't exactly understand what you were saying. I don't know your history with her. if she was serious then you need to cut communication with her for a while and work on inner peace. find a therapist or hot line if you can. you're worth it. good luck

Not to sound like a jerk but do you have a history with this? If so maybe your mom is just tired of being stressed about it an wants the whole thing to stop so she doesn’t have to worry anymore. Doesn’t make it anymore right for her to be that way but after so many times ppl will act that way not bc they don’t care they just exhausted in every way to deal with it an tend to just be like do it or shut up. Talking about issues doesn’t go away really or stop it. The issues will still be there. Just try to find a positive way or thing about what ever issue is making you feel this way. Hope you cheer up n don’t let life get you down as much as possible easy said then done tho take care

Please do not listen to her advice. Remember that tomorrow there will be another beautiful sunrise and sunset. You don't want to miss that. You're favorite candy is at the corner store. It taste too good to not eat it, you need to go get one. You also don't want to miss an episode of your favorite show. You want to figure out what happens next right? Your life has a lot of meaning and worth. Please don't miss out on it. I promise you, it will get better. For now, just keep living, breathing, and enjoying the little things that make you happy.

I felt that way not too long ago, and I reached out to my mom, boyfriend & therapist for help. We act like we can do it all and that asking for help is stigmatized, but in reality sometimes we’re our own worst enemies, and our brain makes us believe life is worse than it actually is or that we’re not deserving of the things in life, when we are. Please take time to learn your value & your worth, and seek professional help asap. I promise it’s so much better to work on improving the areas of your life that you want to get better on instead of giving up.
