Hey
Hello, I am a 20-year-old girl. My family is not very open-minded. I posted a video that shows my shoulder and a little bit of my chest. My mom saw it and started insulting me with hurtful words, shouting as if she saw me sleeping with a man, even though I only allowed women to view the video through its settings. My relationship with my family fluctuates a lot. I grew up with many issues; my mom used to spit in our food and many other things. However, at times, she can be kind and good. But after every problem with her, I realize she’s not the kind of mother I can share all my problems with. I’ve been thinking about suicide, and I don’t know how I reached this point. I’ve started going through mood swings. Even when I go to sleep, even if I’m happy, I start crying. I don’t know if I should visit a psychiatrist or if this is normal.
Hello! 22 year old girl here! First of all I would like to tell you that writing this is very brave and a very good way to give yourself some space for compassion and comfort.
Are there any people in your life you feel comfortable talking to or sharing things with? Having people on your life that support you is important if you’ve been having bad and extreme thoughts.
In the case of these thoughts persisting and reaching a point where you think of actually doing it, it is better to see a therapist that can guide you. I would always recommend taking therapy even though the thought is there but you never see yourself actually acting on it.
And there is always the chance of making really good and new friends here that can be extra compassionate with you and can lean into each other!
I am here as well to be a shoulder to cry on, even though I carry my own weight I always feel good when supporting others, I hope this comment helps ease your mind a little! Sending you all the love! 🩷
