I need help

My relationship with my mom isn’t that great. I have a lot of issues that I’m starting to believe are a result of how I was raised/brought up (the difference being what she could and couldn’t control) and I also have suicidal thoughts often. I don’t care to tell her bc I’m afraid she won’t take me seriously. My boyfriend is worried about me and thinks my mom and I should go to therapy but we’ve tried that already, several times, and it only made things worse. I don’t know what to do.

There are suicide hotlines you can call 24/7. In addition to that, it sounds like your mom might have similar issues to mine or some kind of mental illness. There may be support groups you can join or a forum where you can make connections online with people in similar situations. Also, I would strongly consider trying therapy on your own and seeing if it can help give some perspective and guidance. I prefer cognitive behavioral therapy and there’s a lot of research behind it.

If you want to change you have to tAke suicide off the table for yourself, and those that love you. maybe your clinically depressed maybe meds would help .idk you well enough to say that ......maybe it would help

Have you tried therapy on your own to help work thru things?

No I haven’t. My boyfriend suggested that too. My school offers therapy but the nurses at the health building are rude and I don’t think I’d feel comfortable going there :/@Danez

@soldier16711 don’t give up looking. There are many providers that will work with you even if you can’t afford them.
Your mental health is soooo important. You can’t let things weigh on your soul and try to ignore them.
So please don’t give up.

I can’t. When I’m not at college I live with her and I’m not ready to live on my own yet. Also, she’s my mom. I love her but I wish things were easier.@Kingfish28
