Today my mother asked me what I'd do if my boyfriend ever hurt me again or broke up with me again. I told her I'd kill myself. She laughed and said "No you wouldn't". The sad thing is I mean it. Does anyone feel this way? I know it's sad and pathetic. I need someone else to feel whole, but eff anyone else. This is me. I am a needy child.

Why did she ask that question?
And if someone mentions suicide, that's funny how?

I'm sorry *hugs*

I can't imagine my life without my husband. We have been on the verge of divorce a couple of times due to this nasty brain of mine.

I have felt that way too. You are not alone in this. Looking back, I cannot imagine how or why I felt this way for a particular person.

I am so sorry that your mother does not take your words seriously. It really sucks when someone close to you, or should be close to you lacks that kind of empathy.

I feel your pain too. Have been laughed at when I opened myself up to a trusted person. Think maybe they are trying to take the hurt away but don't know how. Know that we are there for you. Hope you have a better day today. Hugs

Wow....3 weeks left til graduation....way to go hun!!!!

Thank you all so much Yes, my mother has often been that way. She never takes me serious so I tend not to tell her things..but she asked.
I was very down last night. I'm okay now, but not great.

I'm glad you have a relationship with your mother. It's tough to not have a mom around. I have not had a mother figure in my life ever...the sad thing is that she is still alive but doesn't speak to any of her 4 girls.....Be blessed she is in your life hun. Yeah...none of us are perfect, but is nice to have someone who cares. Hugs

It's hard when the people we care about don't really understand or try to make light of our issues. My parent's love me, but they don't really "get me". I try not to talk to them about serious things anymore because it just hurts too much.

I too feel that if my fiance ever left me, or something happened to him, I would either end up either killing myself, back in the psych ward or going back to drugs and alcohol to numb the pain. I know this isn't healthy, but I am not an independent person, I don't know how to be by myself, it scares me.

I guess I don't really have any words of wisdom, and I'm sorry for that, but just wanted you know you are not alone. Never EVER forget that.

I can understand completely what you're saying but I hope and pray for you to become independent and not with him for needy reasons. It is so much more fulfilling when you are with someone by choice, not dependence

Hey Atomicc, I am glad you are feeling at least a little better today. Be proud of yourself for many reasons, and think about the fact that you have managed to graduate from college at a young age while facing some pretty significant challenges. That takes strength, courage, and intelligence.

I also only stick to very basic information when it comes to talking to my family members. Now when they ask me personal questions about my feelings, I just evade the question and change the subject. If someone cannot empathize or at least try to sympathize with my feelings, then why should I share them with them? It is just that sometimes I wish they could try to understand, at least a little bit.

Being attached to someone that you love is not a bad thing if they treat you with love, kindness, and respect. It just means that you have a depth of emotion that some others may lack because they just don't get it.

I am glad that you came to feeling better. Although it is hurtful at times when people, and of all people, a family member say things. . . I try to remember that they don't necessarily mean any harm or hurt, sometimes out of impulsivity, people just don't stop to think about things before they speak. Others have a way or looking at things so differently sometimes it's hard to imagine their even related.

I feel like I would literally die if my boyfriend left me. I don't think I would kill myself but SI? Definitely. And I would probably stop eating and just wither away. Seriously.

At times I think that way and that I just couldn't deal with it, period, my heart sinks and I feel sick inside. But I try to think I would somehow muster up the strength I need, never knew I had, and make it through to the other side.
