I’ve SIed…. and my mother found out about it. she keeps threatening to send me to a mental hospital. and she told my aunt, who had a son who commited suicide. and my aunt is now trying to get me to ocme over and see his room! IM NOT TRYING TO DO THAT! but nobody gets that. I can’t talk to anyone about it because they’ll tell my mother and then i’ll get into trouble. i feel like im about to loose my mind! does anybody get where im coming from???? help please!
I can’t tell you i know where you’re coming from when it comes to family members knowing about me and SI, Yet when my mom found out about my eating issues she told my entire family and they tend to have mini interventions forcing me to eat large amounts of food that i can’t handle and making me feel like i’m stupid. My mom constantly told me i belonged in a mental institution and needed help because i was crazy. Fact is when it comes to SI some people don’t understand that it’s not a suicidal thing it’s a coping mechanism that helps us deal and maybe you have to sit down with your mom and tell her what’s going on because if you don’t tell her then you’re going to have to continuously hear them saying what they’re saying. If you tell them what’s on your mind then it’s up to them to make out what you say and you’re not holding anything in. Truth is we are as normal as everyone else in this world because everyone has a different coping mechanism even though ours isn’t a healthy way it’s our way. Keep your head up and stay strong.
When my parents found out about my injuring they threatened to take me to therapy. What I did was I tried talking to them about my SI and they tried to understand me too. Maybe you should try talking to your parents about why your doing it. They’ll try to understand you, I promise.
