A 15-year-old girl has had strong suicidal thoughts in recent months, especially after arguments. By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

In the past, when I argued with others, I wouldn't let it bother me, I wouldn't cry, I would just laugh. However, in the past few months, every time I have a disagreement, I feel like ending my life, I would secretly cry, feeling extremely sad. I'm too scared to go to the hospital to check if there's something wrong with my mental health. I'm terrified and feel so uncomfortable that at school, I have to pretend to be friendly, strong, and cheerful.

Hello! I'd like to extend a warm hug from afar to you.

I'm pleased to see that you've sought assistance, and I hope that my input can offer some support and guidance. I also want to commend you for being aware of your emotional state, as a good understanding of your feelings is an important first step towards positive change.

It is important to remember that our emotions, whether they be sadness, happiness, or anything in between, are all genuine reactions and expressions of our inner selves. Emotions are neither inherently good nor bad, right nor wrong. They need to be seen, accepted, and responded to, especially when they are negative.

In the unfortunate event that you experience intense discomfort after a disagreement with another individual, it may be beneficial to acknowledge and embrace the emotional pain you are feeling. This can help you gain a deeper understanding of the underlying needs that are driving your distress. For instance, you may be longing for affirmation, acceptance, or understanding. If the emotion is particularly intense, you can try soothing your mind and body by taking slow, deep breaths.

If you can acknowledge and understand your painful emotions and try to identify the underlying needs, you may find it easier to respond in a way that satisfies these needs. For instance, you could try sharing your true feelings with your close family and friends in a brave and sincere way to gain their emotional support and response. It's also important to consider how you interact with others. If you have an argument with someone, it's not necessarily a reflection of your worth or a personal failure. Disagreements are a natural part of interpersonal relationships and don't necessarily indicate any personal shortcomings. They simply highlight differences in perspectives and opinions between you and the other person.

I would be interested to hear your thoughts on this.

My name is Lily, and I'm the little ear of the Q&A Museum. I hope you'll accept my love for you and the world.

I understand how you feel, and it's really tough when you start feeling overwhelmed. It's important to acknowledge your feelings and not be too hard on yourself for having them. Maybe talking to someone you trust could help ease the burden a little.

It sounds like you're going through a really rough time. I'm sorry you're feeling this way. Remember, it's okay to not be okay all the time. Sometimes just admitting that can be the first step toward healing. Have you thought about confiding in a close friend or family member?

Feeling this way must be incredibly difficult for you. It's brave of you to recognize these changes within yourself. Seeking support from people around you might provide some relief. There's no shame in asking for help when you need it.

You seem to be under a lot of pressure lately, and it's affecting you deeply. It's good that you're aware of your emotions; now finding a safe space to express them might be beneficial. Perhaps opening up to someone who cares about you can make a difference.

Kato Davis Forgiveness is a way to break the chains of negative thinking.

It's clear you're struggling, and that's completely valid. The fact that you're still putting on a brave face at school shows your strength. If you feel ready, reaching out to a counselor or therapist could offer you some professional guidance.
