Hello everyone,

I’ve been battling depression for quite a long time, with 2 failed suicide attempts. I’ve been trying to get help but I live in a country which does not have a support system.
So I decided to open up to my mother after 4 years of hiding about all i’ve been through, the rape, the sexual assaults, the physical assaults, and stress of support myself through Uni. However, my mother (my only family member) doesn’t give me any support rather tells me that I am weak and that I am playing victim. Now I feel uncomfortable to just sit in the same room as her, talking to her makes me burst in tears.

I have started to plan out a suicide during my episodes, but I don’t wanna give up yet! How can I make my mother understand that I need her support to pull through?
