I need help...

I have been feeling really suicidal lately and I don't know what to do. The last time I felt this way I told my Mum I was suicidal. For me that took ALOT of courage. Anyway that day she took me to the doctors and you know what...They didn't believe me :'(

They said that I couldn't possibly be suicidal. That I was just feeling that way because my period was late (I am female - obviously).

That was about a month ago now but it has really put me down. Nobody believes me.

It is really awful when someone doesn't believe you. I think what happened to you is that you heard " I don't matter". " I don't count"

Yes, this is how I feel if someone doesn't believe me. I hear "I am invisible, I don't matter, my feelings don't count and so on. I just want to validate that your feelings do matter. No one else can have your feelings but you. I hear you loud and clear. I think that they didn't want to validate you because they didn't want you to actually hurt yourself or leave this earth.

I don't want you to do what your feelings want you to do. Feelings are always changing and if you wait....your feelings will change. Yesterday I felt like crap. Today I feel better. Our feelings will change. Just don't act on these negative thoughts as thoughts are always changing as well.

You matter. You are not invisible. You are worthy of your feelings. Please keep getting help if you cannot get these feelings to change. Sometimes it takes more than once to get people's attention. They are only human and human's make mistakes.

I hope the very best for you.

that's probably 1 of the most inspirational posts i've read in a very long time. thanks for sharing

yes, you're doing the right thing by telling your parents you are suicidal (better that than leave those feelings to get worse)

it's sad they don't believe you, and the doctor either.

but i think you just need to keep trying... keep explaining how you are feeling- keep trying to tell people what's going on with you, eventually you'll get somewhere.

not enough attention is payed to this sort of thing. so many families/ friends refuse to accept these types of things, and in more cases than not, tat person starts feeling isolated and afraid to open up at all

how are you feeling today?
