Hey Pandas, My Parents Don't Know That Have Been Suicidal, How Should I Tell Them?
You probably should tell them about it. Because they need to know what their child is going through, only because they care about you and there would be no way for them to know this except for you telling them. Also talking about this with people close to you, who you can trust, helps a lot. I'm so happy that you have been able to overcome it and doing that alone is a proof for how strong you are. Now when you tell them, there are the following things I suppose could happen: 1. They feel sad that you went through all that alone and now talk to you about it and try helping you in any way (if that's needed of course) - and you apologize and tell them why you couldn't talk about it and they understand and support you and all ends well. 2. They make a huge deal about it and blame you - well if this is the case, please know that you are not alone, coz a lot of people have parents who don't understand this. But mind you, they still love you and wouldn't let anything hurt you. They just are not that good at understanding. So you just rid yourself of the fact that you hid it, let them calm down, go on with your life. Both ways, your goal is achieved - you rid yourself of the feeling that you hid something of huge importance. No matter what their reaction is, you promise yourself to focus on yourself and grow. It might be difficult some times but the best thing to do at that time is to wait. Time heals things. Just give it time. Hope this helps!! Sorry if this was too long. Sending you loads of hugs!Hey Pandas, My Parents Don't Know That Have Been Suicidal, How Should I Tell Them?
Tell them through a note, I find it easier to explain through writing.Hey Pandas, My Parents Don't Know That Have Been Suicidal, How Should I Tell Them?
I suggest not saying anything. When I told my mom, she got all fussy and got me a therapist who didn't do anything other than waste my time. She checked on me WAY to often and I had no privacy. I'm grateful she was looking out for me but it was just annoying. My dad was very mean about it. "suicide is such a sissy way out!" Ok well thanks for being a great parent and care about your child, dad.Hey Pandas, My Parents Don't Know That Have Been Suicidal, How Should I Tell Them?
(add on) It's unhealthy to keep your feelings/thoughts from being heard.Hey Pandas, My Parents Don't Know That Have Been Suicidal, How Should I Tell Them?
You should tell them so they will be able to help you, (with respect) you can't solve a problem without doing something about it.Hey Pandas, My Parents Don't Know That Have Been Suicidal, How Should I Tell Them?
I think you should tell them. It's important to talk about your mental health, especially with people close to you.Hey Pandas, What Is One Embarrassing Thing You Lie Awake Thinking About At Night?
One time I was playing Yahtzee with my family, and my father was gloating saying he was SO going to get a Yahtzee. He rolled and failed to get anything close to a Yahtzee so I laughed and called out NOTzee as a joke. I then realized what I had shouted and turned red... NATZI?! WHAT WAS I THINKING! I did, however win the game, but I still was SO embarrassed...Hey Pandas, What Is One Embarrassing Thing You Lie Awake Thinking About At Night?
I lie awake thinking of all the embarrassing things I've ever done. I still think of things from six or seven years ago, in clear detail. The odd thing is, I can't remember much else from then- except for the embarrassing things. I lie awake thinking of how I could have made it right/avoided it. It's all very annoying.Hey Pandas, What Is One Embarrassing Thing You Lie Awake Thinking About At Night?
Usually, something that happened recently. Like saying 'you too' to a doctor who tells you to get well. Or all the awkward interactions I have, because I forgot how to human during this pandemic.
