I have a lot of emotions TW

The other day my cousin wound up in the ICU. She attempted suicide. She is still unresponsive. She gets an MRI tomorrow to see what’s going on. I am pretty heartbroken about how it went down.

I also hate that I feel this way but I do, my family never has seen me during my attempt or been to visit me the 15+ times I’ve been hospitalized. I know this situation is far more extreme but I can’t lie, I’m in my emotions about it all. I need to talk to a therapist about how I can possibly reframe it or feel better about it or just walk away.

Well jeeze my mom just called me and begged me not to attempt again. That was completely uncharacteristic but maybe she’s having a breakthrough

I’m sorry for both of you.

I understand family not visiting after attempts. My mom didn’t show up even when I was a teen in icu. She was on vacation and finished it before coming to see me.

That hurt. Deeply.

So I get it. And I really feel for you.

I think therapy is a good idea
