im thinking about telling my bf ive thought about commiting suicide but im not sure how to break it to him. he is very protective over me so im not sure how to say it to him.
please i need advise about this.
It's terrible to live with suicidal ideation, but remember that it's not your wish. You want to be happy. You don't want to be in so much awful pain. You want everything to work out for you. I'm sure you prefer that to death. Right now you are not even living. You are in a dark, dreary place, and you're screaming out for help, but no one seems to hear. Well, guess what, you are not alone! I understand what you're going through, and I care. I've been suicidal a lot in my life, and I'm young too. I know what it feels like. But I also know that if you get help, it is possible to survive it.
Now about telling this to your boyfriend. If it's not relevant anymore, you don't have to tell him. If it is, then come straight out with it. Tell him in how much pain you are, and how you need his support more than anything now. I believe you should also tell him how much you love him, and wouldn't want to leave him. If he is like the caring wonderful guy he comes across to me, then he'll understand and won't blame you.
I've had to tell lots of people I care about, including my boyfriend that I wanted to kill myself. They were very upset, but in the long run it paid off, cuz now I have their support. No one can deal with this alone!
Remember that the key to being happy is being grateful. Write down a list of five good things that happened to you that day. They can vary from "I have the best boyfriend in the world" to "dinner was delicious"...
It makes such a huge difference in your life, and makes you feel so blessed!
