I was like saying I'm going to kill myself and my mom said go ahead and do it?

Question

Do you think my family is weird?

no i don't say it all the time

Answer 1

She thinks you are bluffing it.
If you feel like killing yourself call a suicide prevention line

Answer 2

Every family is weird. In this situation your mom knows the game you are playing. The only reason you are telling her you want to kill yourself is to get a reaction out of her. If she remains uninterested in your attempts then she knows you will eventually get bored of saying it. She just doesn't feel like humoring you because you will only get worse.

Seek counceling or just realize that eventually you will have to open your eyes to life. Things aren't as bad as they seam, and it sounds like your life hasn't even begun. Living at home is easy, no matter how hard you might think it is. No real responsibilities, no debt collectors or worries of how you are going to get through the next week and feed your family. Once you grow up you can answer that question for yourself. Start paying attention to what is actually important in your life and focus on that. Don't let simple distractions get in your way from making your life worth something in the near future. Keep a level head and try and remember whatever you do now has absolutely everything to do with your future.

Now ask yourself, do you rrally want to kill yourself, or just like to poke at people for a reaction to make yourself feel better?

Answer 3

Not weird at all. Your mom knows you are chicken so she sort of dared you. By the way if you want to kill your self by all means do it but be aware that you will spend the next 500 years in the spirit world not very exciting I assure you

Answer 4

Why would you say something like that, I am sure your Mom just didn't want to entertain such an asinine thought. I would have given you such a slap upside your head that the pain would have minimized any other stupid thoughts you might have had. Call an intervention or crisis hot line, you need help.

Answer 5

Your Mother is trying to diffuse the situation and down play the seriousness of the moment. Not exactly a great technique but she is probably frustrated and doesn't know what to do. She doesn't want you to I assure you.
My husbands parents did this to him in junior high and he came very close to doing it. Thank the Lord he didn't because we have been happily married for 17 years with 4 kids and I can't imagine my life without him or our kids.
Your words are a cry for help even if you didn't mean it.
Something is going on. Instead of threats that your Mom doesn't seem to know how to handle tell her you need help! If you are serious call a suicide hotline, call a supportive teacher/pastor/adult/doctor, talk to a counselor at school if your parents can't provide the support you need to get through whatever you are dealing with that isn't your fault. You need to seek help elsewhere if they aren't capable of seeing you safely through this time in your life. If your home life is what is causing the problem consider asking to live with grandparents or the like, but still get counseling. If you have no where else to go and your homelife makes you want to hurt yourself than as a last resort call social services.
Life is a gift, we all go through times when we feel we can't take anymore. I did myself when I was 17. I finally asked for help, my Mother had no idea that I was suffering the way I was. Depression isn't just something you can "snap" out of, it's a legitimate chemical imbalance in the brain. If you had a sugar imbalance (diabetes) you wouldn't expect yourself to 'snap" out of it. You would get medication and help dealing with your illness right? Depression is the same. Thousands of people each year have depression even though things are going well in their lives. It's not just a mood thing.
In the mean time no matter which avenue of help you look for get a journal, doesn't have to be more than paper stapled together.
write about your feelings. Ask yourself why am I feeling this way? When did it start? What makes it worse? Get your feelings out on paper it can help and if you do go to couseling it will help your counselor help you. Many religous groups have free to low cost counseling. Like Catholic family services, the Jewish, Lutheran and Christian faiths have these as well.
Just make sure you get help somewhere. Or go to your mom in a calm voice and say It really hurt when you didn't take me seriously about ending my life, I'm (in pain, feeling worthless,or whatever your dealing with) and need help. Please don't make a joke of it I need you to help me.
Communication is the most important thing. Parents don't know how your really feeling unless you tell them and they will be much more likely to listen if you talk to them in a calm cool voice.
You are important, you are a unique individual and everyone has something to contribute to our world. All of us have a very short period of time here on earth, Eternity is much longer. I remember thinking when I realized how close I had been to giving up myself that I was only thinking about the here and now. Whatever your going through won't last forever. But if you end your life you will spend Eternity being sorry and there isn't a way to end that! I also later realized how selfish I was and didn't think about the profound impact it would have on the people I really love.
I have a friend who took her life in college. I honestly think she thought she would be found in time, she wasn't.... I miss her. And so many more people were impacted by her death than she ever would have imagined. It even led to the death of another friend and she never would have wanted that. not ever.
I wish you all the best. Being a child/kid/preteen/teenager it's all HARD. Keep busy either sports, arts, reading, crafts, hobbies whatever. Find something you enjoy and put your energy into that, something that makes you feel good about yourself. Doesn't even matter if your not good at it at first as long as you enjoy it! I love to paint, but hey I am not good at it. Doesn't matter I enjoy it and am getting better. If there is something you used to do that you enjoyed but havent been doing lately start doing it again. Volunteer in an activity or a hospital, vets office, or charity helping others makes you feel good and useful. It also puts your problems in perspective. I hope I've helped in even the littlest way, please tell someone responsible how you are feeling, don't keep your pain to yourself. Best Wishes!

Answer 6

How often do you threaten to do it? If you threaten on a regular basis or say it jokingly she obviously knows that you're not serious. Either way she shouldn't say that. Maybe your family could use some counseling.

Answer 7

Weird no.....

Were you saying it for a shock factor?

Thinking she came right back at ya!

Its something that shouldn't be taken lightly and I'm sure she knows this, I also bet she has faith that you would never do something so stupid.

Whatever your troubles maybe, don't let them ruin tomorrow's happiness.....

Best wishes

Answer 8

Have you said it so many times she is tired of hearing it? Whenever someone say's that they need help. I hope there is someone you can talk to. Don't kill yourself.
