I have been having Suicidal thoughts for a few weeks now but I'm not sure how to tell my mom. Every time I tell her something important she calls everyone she knows and tells them or she undermimes my feelings and acts annoyed that i told her or like I'm being dramatic and overreacting what can I do to get her to see that these feelings are both persnal and legit?

Tell someone OTHER than your Mom if you're having trouble. Do you have an aunt, uncle, close adult friend, neighbor that you could tell?
Maybe your Mom is having a hard time understanding what to do, so she acts that way and calls other people for advice...

According to the reading I have done regarding hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), the brain, when it senses that blood sugar is low, will do sometimes strange things to get the blood sugar (glucose) out of storage and into the blood stream. Adrenaline is one sure way to do this. If the brain still does not get the blood sugar it needs, it slows down, leading to tiredness, depression and/or suicidal thoughts.
Suggestion? The next time you start thinking about suicide, go to the kitchen and get some protein, meat, a can of tuna or whatever, and eat it. Also have some carbohydrate, like a handful of chips, or some carrots/celery and some nuts or peanut butter. Eat at least 2 ounces of the protein. Then drink a glass of water and do something else for 30 minutes, preferably something active, like walking - or if not that, singing. You may find your need to cut has lessened a bit.
If you find this helps, then you do not have to get your mom's help, cause you are helping yourself. You can also talk to your counselor/nurse at school - but be sure to tell her/him why you have not felt comfortable telling your mom.
Chronic low blood sugar can also cause self-esteem problems, anger management problems and a whole bunch of other physical and mental nasties. You may want to check out the symptoms link on www.hufa.org, and see how you check out.

Yeah my parents were like that when I was a kid and then when they realized how serious it was they wanted to know why I didn't tell them. Sometimes the best thing to do is to talk to a school counciler or even your family doctor. You may be depressed and need councilling or even meds. It is pretty normal for teens. Hey sometime parents have no clue either. At the very least give a call to one of those help lines. Most of the people who work there do it because they have had the same experiences.

First of all, why would you want to kill yourself? Suicide is a perminent solution to a temporary problem. I know it might sound crazy, but I know what you are going through. I used to cut, and when I told my mom, she went out and told all of her friends that I was suicidal. It was really embarrasing, but I ended up getting the help that I needed through one of her friends. Also, I know what it's like to be on the other side of the issue. My best friend humg herself, and let me tell you, it did not feel good. It left this big, empty hole inside of me, almost like someone pulled out my stomach. So if you think that the world would be better of without you, think about the people on the other side. When a friend is gone forever, so is a part of you. Whatever it is making you think this way, you need to tell a trusted adult. Think of it this way: This too shall pass.
Best of luck!

Honey, if you feel like you can't tell your parents, tell anyone, someone who can help, a teacher, a friend, a friend's mom, don't let it go any farther, it doesn't mean there's something wrong with you, or that you're crazy, just means you need some help to get through a difficult time.....tell you parents you're not feeling well, and then ask to go to the doctor, you can ask to talk to the doctor in private, and let him know how you're feeling, just don't wait, talk to someone very soon.

By coming online and asking for help, and by wanting to speak to your mother to get help, you have taken a huge step that many teens never take. I wanted to congratulate you on that.
Many here have given excellent advice: find someone you trust, a counsellor, pastor, family friend, or even an anonymous crisis line and talk to SOMEONE. If your mother is not approachable, find someone who is. There is always someone out there willing to take some time to help someone in your situation.
I pray you find the ears you need to talk to, and that you are able to deal with these thoughts, and their causes. I hope that your mother wises up, and is willing to listen to you more in the future. Keep hoping and always keep trying: You never know whats around the next corner in life.
I know I know.. cliches out the a**.. but they are so true!!

your mum isnt the right person to tell about something so delicate. if something particular has come along in the past few weeks 2 make u feel like this, target that, try and make it better. if u feel u need 2 talk 2 someone, try a close friend you trust or even a favourite teacher

It seems that you are seeking help more than anything, if not also someone to lean on. Gradually introduce your situation to your mom and tell her how you feel about her not trying very hard to understand you. Make sure that she knows that when you alk to her you'e sincere, and that you don't want her to underestimate your feelings. If you are worried about others finding out, I suggest that you find a counsler who will work for free (if you need a cheap one0 and they'll make it as confidental as you need it to be. If they feel that your parents NEED to know.. Than they will be told, but for the better.
Hang in there!

If you would really like to talk to her about it, find a quiet time, sit her down at the table, let her know that you would like her to keep your conversation private and for her to really listen to you, and just tell her how you are feeling.
If she will not make the time for you or listen to you, I would just let her know that you feel that you need to see a doctor... ASAP. You can probably go to the local hospital and speak with someone - or call the hospital and they can get you in touch with a professional who can help you.
If you do not feel like your mom will help you out, please try to go to someone else. You can get help for yourself.
Good luck. I hope that things turn brighter for you.

The only way I would suggest is bypass your Mom, call a crisis centre and get some help ... once they have you connected, then let THEM deal with explaining your situation to your mother. You have much more serious issues to deal with right now than what your mother thinks.
