I'm 16 and I've been struggling with suicidal depression for about a year now. I just realized this morning that my emotionally abusive parents are triggering it. Every time I've self-harmed and both attempts on my life were triggered by a big argument with them that left me feeling worthless. I don't know what to do.

ReplyArguments happen with parents at your age because you are old enough to have your own ideas and opinions, but parents think that because they are much older than you and that you are their child they know better. It is a good idea for you to respect your parents by not answering back or arguing with them. I know this is hard at your age but as they think they know best you will rarely win any argument. Try to keep the peace the best you can and then you won't be left feeling worthless and self harming. When you have left school and are older things should change or at least begin to change. I suppose you are still in school so that makes you still a school kid.
ReplyAs the one anon said you're not alone , there's multiple people feeling this way right now. I mean you can feel that way but don't do anything to harm yourself because the feelings will pass. You're not worthless. Parents can be so insensitive. I don't know why and holidays seem to bring it out in them lately it seems. Look inside of yourself you know you're not worthless. I know family arguments and fighting sucks. Don't harm yourself because that won't solve the problem or make things any better. You're only 16 you have a lot of life ahead of you. Graduating school, possibly college and other things. Just know you matter and your situation will pass. Stay strong because your life matters.
