Venting Just opened up to my mom

[Nymph]

I just opened up to my mom and talked with her about my feelings for 2+ hours. We talked about my suicidal thoughts, intrusive/negative thoughts about the future, feelings of worthlessness, coping mechanisms...
She was listening and trying to understand. I felt heard, I'm feel better

Sounds like you have a great mother. Since half of your DNA is from her, you are probably a great person too.

It's so nice that you have a mom who genuinely tries to understand. I'm glad the talk went well, mate. You deserve to feel heard and understood.

This is so sweet and thoughtful.

You just made my day, @Illias . This will never be my story but such good news will stay with me all day. I'm very happy for you

I'm glad that your mother is understanding and that you feel validated in expressing your thoughts and feelings. I hope things goes well for you in the coming future between you and your mother.
