Feeling Guilty After Almost 5 Years For Effects Of An Attempted Suicide.

A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭
Eugene, OR

When my youngest was 14, I attempted suicide. I have recovered significantly from suicidal ideation, but I still feel guilty because I messed up her freshman year... although a family friend passed suddenly that week as well..it still feels like she hasn't really forgiven me, sometimes she throws it in my face. My other children were adults at the time, so I know they were hurt too, but it's the youngest who seems to really have been affected in a bad way.

My mom passed away 13 years ago and my dad passed away 12 years ago. Facebook triggers my memories of them. You will always missed and your heart is broken will always for them. Father's Day was especially hard for me because he was my best supporter and cheerleader. It has been tough during difficult times.I am continuously working through it for my better mental health..

I tried to kill myself when my children were 7, 9 and 16. And soon after my youngest developed severe depression and severe anxiety. I feel guilty EVERYDAY because of it. I know I caused it and there’s nothing I can do about it. He still to this day has depression and anxiety but he went to college to become a Certified scientist. I’m very proud of him and still feel guilt as hell for what I did

She probably always hurt that really scared her. But when she grows up and starts to take the world on by herself shell see that its not always easy. Than shell forgive you i did the same when my daughter was twelve and when she grew up she forgave me and quit throwing itin my face. Hope the same happens for you. Illpray about it
