Should I have told my mom and dad?

I’m with toadaly on this one…LET them help you…they love you…you DO need it.

p

no!! its great you told them!! you lucky they care!! when I used to cut my mom just said wow you just mulitated your self, why?

You weren’t wrong to tell them and they’re not wrong for feeling some distress - it was a surprise, they love you and care, so it’s heartfelt concern - just reassure them it won’t happen again, you’re coping fine, and if you get in trouble, you WILL come to them - that should help a lot - I wish you the very best and I hope all of you have a very Merry Christmas !!

You did the right thing to tell them, and they’re doing the right thing trying to get you help. You may not feel like you have serious issues, but you do. You need professional help. It’s nothing to be ashamed of.

I am very very proud of you for telling them. and it would be a good decision to tell them you want to talk to someone. becuase then if you talk to a professional your parents wont bug you and they will be less worried about you. also you could start to feel better so you wouldn’t feel like you would have to take your life. . if you want to talk im always here. I no what your going threw.. have a good x mass. so if you want to message me and we can talk… STAY SAFE!!!

You could have died. There is no such thing as worrying about you too much… What if someone you loved had tried to kill themselves? Would there be any such thing as worrying about them too much? You’re their kid. They dont know what they would do without you. They’re worried… It is a good thing you told them. A lot of people cant gather up the courage they need to admit that something is wrong and they need help. They’ll be overprotective for a while. It will die down.

Eye, When you say “there all worrying about me wayyy tooo much!!!” What in hell do you think they are going to do??? YOU have to remember parents are just people…They don’t always know the best or right things to do…I am not talking about any forms of abusive treatment from mom/dad. I am talking about how to keep your kids happy throughout their life…THINK about the type of responsability this is for a parent..Forget about keeping a roof,clothing,food on the table and all the things parents do…FORGET about that…Now parents have the responsability to make sure our kid is happy, not depressed and getting them ready for adulthood etc…Parents are only human…YOU sound lucky to me…They asked you if they could get you someone to talk to…They sound like they will do anything to help…I want you to think about a few things…a lot of people young or old need a lot of attention from their family and friends..or they may feel unloved..or they may judge themselves constantly etc…So many of the issues that can push us towards doing what you did can actually be solved through talking to someone..(like mom/dad are offering to do for you)…Now…you do not want this..your complaint is “they” are freaking out over this and it’s driving you nuts etc… I want you to try this exercise for YOU..not mom not dad not anyone…only for you. Ready??? Without telling ANYONE except funadvice.. I want you to each day look around you and write down atleast 5 to ten things you are thankful for..each day write them down and if you repeat the things you are thankful for thats OK. This includes the ability to see, taste, walk through a park if you want. The ability to read and write. The ability to think..(healthy mind) The fact that you have your health..etc…This is what I want you to do..for the next 7 days…write down at least 5 to 10 things a day, look at them/concentrate on them for a minute. If you want to keep them with you or throw them away..whatever BUT do the same thing the next day…and repeat it for 7 days..If you want to continue after 7 days go for it. But think about this..2 things…If you do not do this (simple) exercise chances are you just want attention and you are in denial over it…(another post) and really do not want to make the effort to have and live a happy life. Remember this one thing…your life is your life…not your parents..not friends..not teachers not anyones.only yours… do what you want with your life…Think of it like this..My friend who loved his 17 year old boy very much, may have made nurturing mistakes as a parent..he still loved his boy…One day my friend and his wife went to work this year..came home to find his son lying in the bathroom…His son took a gun and shot himself in the the mouth..and killed himself…My friend was devistated as you can imagine…I talked to him a while back, some time had past since the incident and he sounded like he was doing better..pretty good, he was getting ready to go on a little vacation..he was going out with friends..he was working.. he was having fun again…of course that void will always be there but he is back into his day to day life again..Because his sons life was only that, his sons..nobody elses..his son stopped his own life…all the fun things and fun life out there (for him) no longer exsists…The son stopped himself from enjoying life…stopped himself from ever enjoying a girlfriend and a wife and children…stopped himself from ever doing his hobbies and things he enjoyed.. and life still goes on for my friend…Your life is your life..When you think of stopping (your life) you are only stopping all good things that are in store for (you) nobody else. REMEMBER any problems you may encounter always has an answer designed to help you live happier.. And this is why you need to talk to someone!!! I hope you will be happier and I really hope this will help you. If you want to funmail me go ahead…and good-luck!! Familycoach
