Reply to comment by kawnlichking in TIFU by confessing to my mom that I don’t want to live anymore by ViewOk4348

I just don’t know how someone saying something cryptic stuff about emotions could help, esp since it is very expensive here so I will feel guilty asking mom to pay for something I may not benefit from

Right now you feel guilty and ashamed for sharing how you're feeling. That's not normal or healthy. Talking to a therapist will help you learn to not feel guilty for having emotions. Itll make you feel less alone. You'll have people on your side.

It is expensive but if your parents truly love you (assuming they can afford it) they'll want to do whatever they can to save your life. Because that's what depression is- its a fight for your life.

If you can't/don't want to go to therapy I'd suggest at least reading up on DBT skills (coping mechanisms), thought reframing (a DBT skill) and maybe shadow work (self therapy).

Please be safe and don't be afraid to reach out.
