How do I tell my parents I think I'm suicidal?

If you are feeling suicidal I can provide you with a crisis hotline link. I am here to be empathetic and listen, but am not trained to intervene in this type of situation. Please use the resource. I will end the chat to give you ample time to do so. Then I will reconnect with you through 7 cups messenger. You can tell me how the resource helped you.

Ask your most trusted parent if the two of you can talk somewhere in private, if you’re not already in a space with just the two of you with no other distractions. When the two of you are alone and you’re sure her full attention is on you, you simply say you don’t want to live anymore. No frills required. An introduction to what you want to talk about may be useful in some circumstances, but is not necessarily needed. That also goes for explanations. Just telling her this should be enough to accomplish whatever you want to accomplish by telling her. I’m glad you are here. People often suffer in silence before they let anyone know what they’re dealing with. I assume that the fact that you’re asking this means that you have now acknowledged that you’re dealing with a problem you can’t face by yourself and you need your parents help in order to continue. I’m glad you want to tell your parent, because I assume it means you overcame any sense of guilt or shame that you might have felt that may have deterred you from telling them. You can be proud of yourself for that, because it’s not an easy thing to accomplish when you’re depressed. I’m also glad because I assume your parent loves you and cares for you and will therefore at least try to get you out of this situation. If you’re worried that this will hurt them, I can tell you that it probably will. But it would hurt her a lot more if you carry on like this and you refrain from telling her. At least now their able to do something about it. Telling them is, in most circumstances, a wise thing to do and should contribute to your well-being. If, for whatever reason, telling your parent doesn’t lead to the desired result, please tell others who love you, and/or seek professional help. If you don’t want to live anymore, you need someone to help you see reasons to do so anyway, because you’re most likely not going to be able to find them yourself.
