hi, is it normal to feel suicidal if you family are arguing, not just regular rows, but like, heavy, hitting, swearing, etc....? this is getting to be real bad between my sister and mom. and i cant do anything. i hate it! it starts over something small, and turns huge. my sister usually starts it, but my mom doesnt help either. so is it normal for me to feel suicidal, and usually thinking about it?
jumadel answered Monday July 3 2006, 3:30 am: Hi, to think suicidal it must be something that is really hurting you. Show, our arguments and family can drive us crazy and sometimes make us feel down, and I suppose we get into a depressive state and think suicidal. But really you shouldn't really be thinking suicidal over something that is tiny like arguments. To think about killing yourself is at the end of the day just a thought but never act on them thoughts. We all feel down and perhaps feel like killing ourselves but it is our actions towards it that isn't good. Suicide is mostly considered through people for example who have cancer or suffering from depression or bi polar, not over an argument. Daniel. [ jumadel's advice column | Ask jumadel A Question ]

Try talking to someone about it. About how it all is making you, or even tell your mom that the fighting is making you feel that was about life. You should never kill yourself, no matter what and if you did, it wouldn't help your family situation eather. Your family would be hurt, and confused. So try talking to someone you trust about everything, it will help alot !!

abbyxoxo answered Sunday July 2 2006, 9:30 pm: it is normal to feel suicidal, i have the same problem in my family between my dad and brother.. i found that it wont help at all to feel that way, u just have to think of something to do while this is going on and try not to get into it.. you should talk to your mother and your sister seperatly first about it, then talk to them together when everything is quiet and theyre not fighting.. and talk to them about maybe getting counciling or something like that. good luck =] [ abbyxoxo's advice column | Ask abbyxoxo A Question ]
xomichelle891xo answered Sunday July 2 2006, 9:25 pm: Well, I dont really want to say its "normal" to feel suicidal. But, it is normal to feel upset and hurt by your sister and mother's fighting. My family fights all the time and I often end up crying in my room because I feel like theres nothing I can do to get away from all the fighting/yelling. When they start to fight, take a walk or go to a friends house. But, I seriously, seriously advise you to see a therapist/councelor about this because you will definitely benefit from it. If you keep it all inside, you might commit suicide..and that is NOT the answer to this problem. Find a hotline near you and they can get you a free counselor or you can talk to someone ANONYMOUSLY. I hope everything goes ok. Stay strong. [ xomichelle891xo's advice column | Ask xomichelle891xo A Question ]
chicka_chick09 answered Sunday July 2 2006, 8:35 pm: listen, i have a huge family, and we are ALWAYS arguing...i've felt suicidal before but that's only because you feel like you cant do anything to stop the fighting and you just want to give it. it is normal, and lots of kids feel it, just dont do anything "stupid"lol....it's ok to feel this way, believe me, i know. but it helps that wenever you feel suicidal just think of all the good things that you will miss, and wat will happen if anything actually did happen to you. it is just fighting, it might get really bothersome but it's ok. i say i wanna kill myself every day lol but im not ganna do it. its just because anger builds up, and you cant stop it. but it's ok. if you want more help just email me ok. take good care and good luck!

LoveToLaugh37 answered Sunday July 2 2006, 6:51 pm: Yes, it is normal to feel suicidal, ( I use to feel like that, too.) I know it isn't really you're problem, but if you want to fix it, you could go full house and sit down and talk to your mom about trying to not get in fights with your sister. Tell her to try to see the fight from her sister's point of veiw. (That's what I do.) How old is your sister? About 16,17, or 18? If she is, then trust me please, it's going to get better. My brother when he was 17 get caught doing some bad stuff and it was just horrible times, but he grew out of his troublemaker stage, my mom stopped crying, and our family was back to normal..So it will get better.
You can feel suicidal, but please I'm asking you to not actually do it because you still have the rest of your life to live, and if you throw it all away, your going to regret missing out on some amazing things that could happen
BEAUTiFUL_LOVEx answered Sunday July 2 2006, 5:57 pm: If it has nothing to do w/ you, there is nothing you can really do. But def. dont feel like you wanna die. Thats horrible. Mothers & daughters fight all the time, and the only way i could think of you preventing it would be talking to your sister or your mom when they arent fighting, on a completely different day. And just saying that it really bothers you when you do fight, and to try not to ask much. Hopefully they'll understand that it effects you and they'll try and not be so physical, or just not do it as much. Also you could help out as much as possible. like if their fighting about someone doing something, you could just try and do it. But its def. no reason to want to die, because their fighting. it has nothing to do w/ you, and there isnt alot you could do.
Sorry, hope that helps! :] Good Luck! [ BEAUTiFUL_LOVEx's advice column | Ask BEAUTiFUL_LOVEx A Question ]
