I want to tell the school GC about my suisdal/SH thoughts...but I'm afraid of my mom yelling at me or my family getting angry at me. Any tips on how to reach out? I've previously planed out a suiside that I almost did(thankfully for me I got a message and forgot)
Any tips/stories appresiated.
Thanks for reading
Halo

Hello there, please share this in confidence with a counsellor or someone you trust. Let them know that you fear your family getting angry with you. It's better to be alive than dead, so please get some help.

As Pegasus said please confide a counselor or a teacher someone you trust that will help you further. It's easier in the long run, don't think of your moms initial reaction, her attitude hopefully will change. And she might not even be angry. Reach out to someone IRL that can help you.
Good luck.

I agree with the others. Please schedule an appointment with your school counselor and try not to worry about your family's reaction. Your wellbeing comes first. Thoughts/feelings regarding suicide and self harm are too much to handle without help. I doubt your mom would be angry anyway. It's not your fault that you're experiencing these symptoms of depression.

Once you tell your GC maybe letting your family know is something you could do together so you don't have to face it alone? That might be one way to face any emotions that come up for your family; you need support and help right now so I really hope you can share things with your GC and that you contact a suicide hotline if the thoughts return

You can find some of their numbers here:

Please keep looking for help

Do talk to the GC and tell him/ her that you are afraid of how your family will react. Ask that they be confidential and talk to you about possibilities.

Well I told the gc. She called my FAMILY and my brother picked me up...then talked to me. After an hour my mom yelled at me and said she wasn't going to feed into "it" and told me how rough her life was...(not like I already knew....she believes in suiside...but for the selfish and weak) apparently I have NOTHING to be sad/suisidal about...

My mom told me to stop, and that all the counseling needed was family talking. She didn't yell, just wanted me to knock it off. Yeah, if sh is typically done in a shroud of secrecy, privacy, how is it 'attention seeking'? Wish I could remember the specific sites, i once found for parents. Says to take it very serious.

(try search on emo, and for parents, print up and give to her)



No need to minimize your experience, because she's stressed, kwim?

I'm done...I really don't want to sit there and be relectured again and again. I quit. I'm just going to wait until a strong enough feeling to SH comes along and attempt to ignore it.
