Guilt trip to not kill yourself

[anonym167]

After knowing, I am going through a hard time my mom decided to tell me that if I did ever do anything to hurt myself that she didn't think she would ever forgive me. The guilt trips really ever work on someone that is already drowning? I don't think my concern right now is if someone will forgive me after I'm dead. Anyone else ever had someone try to guilt them out of doing something like that? How did it make you feel?

my mom tells me similar shit and it hurts, but you gotta try not to take it to heart. if she's going to blame you for issues that you can't control, that's on her, not you. i'm sure parents say stuff like that because they love us but i wish they'd at least try and be a little more supportive. it doesn't make us feel loved it makes us feel trapped.

Yeah, literally the only thing keeping my alive is the amount of guilt I live with. I think about how many people would be hurting if I died and I can't do that to that many people. I can't put people through what I feel. I can't call someone to have the Grief and confusion and depression. I have right now. I just can't do that to anyone. I'd rather suffer this lifetime than hurt anyone else the way I've been hurt. I hate it though. I never chose to have the life I have. I don't understand why I have to live a life that's been ruined by other people.

I totally get it. The ONLY reason I haven't killed myself yet is because I don't want to hurt my parents and my husband. The guilt is a definite deterrent. But honestly, they see how miserable I am and know that I'm not actually living my life, hiding in my house all day everyday. I think they would eventually understand and get over it…
