Should I Give Up
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

Suicidal talk

A few years back, My mum, me & my daughter fell out with my son and gf. His gf was taking over Deans first daughter, staying longer with her family and less with us, leaving us out. I spoke to my son, but he shocked me by telling me I'd ruined his life by leaving my ex, his step-father,(he was 21 when we split) ruined his first relationship, and his relationship with his step-fathers family who now looked down on him. He didn't believe I had a depressive illness, he thought… read more

Please do one thing for me and concentrate on only yourself. Get help with your depression from the doc. You are going through a traumatic time with the loss of your mum right now and you need to focus on getting yourself well.
As for your son lose no more sleep over him he has issues he needs to address. They are not your problems. If he continues this attitude, ignore him he will come round eventually and if he does not it is his loss not yours so try and stay strong xx

You have no control over how he feels. It sounds to me like he might have some issues of his own that he needs to deal with. You know the truth about yourself, you are not well and healthy. You should not give up on yourself. I think that you need to let go and not try to control how anyone sees you. You know that you are doing the best that you can. You are a good person and worthy of love. Don't let him take that from you. Know that you have my support and I am sure the support of most everyone here. Hold on. It won't always be this bad.

That must have been difficult to hear. I'm not a mother myself but I would have felt exactly the same if my son or daughter said something like that to me. On the other hand, I would most probably emphasize with him and worry about his well-being more than my own... but that's just the kind of person I am. Spaced out there for a moment... back to you :)

I would give him some time to reflect on what has happened... just give him the space to reflect. I am sure that he loves you, just as much as you love him. Keep reassuring him that you do and just give it time. As far as overthinking is concerned, try and keep your mind occupied by doing a word search, building a puzzle, reading, watching a feel-good movie... distract yourself from your thoughts or write them down and reflect upon them. Writing has helped me a lot over the years :) You could even write a letter addressed to your son in which you tell him how you feel.

I'm sending you an endless supply of positive vibes and hugs x Stay strong, don't give up and keep your chin up x
