Re: Struggling: TW suicide
Has anyone grown up with a super-emotional parent? It was hard and still is hard. I am scared of my mum's emotions so I don't talk to her about things even though she wants me to, so I've ended up internalising and suppressing emotions. I am scared of upsetting her and triggering her. She is loving but I don't want to switch her on her angry switch and feel like it's my fault for doing things wrong and feel like I am failing her. She'll say intense things she doesn't mean and it doesn't help if I am already distressed. It's so lonely, having to keep so much to myself when I am around her so much. I've closed myself to protect her not because I don't trust her. She probably thinks I don't trust her and thinks I trust my psych more. Maybe even feels a bit jealous. I can't talk to my dad, he goes into problem-solving mode and doesn't know what to do. So never really had a parent to talk to about things. I guess they were never taught how to manage emotions when they grew up.

Re: Struggling: TW suicide
I was never able to talk to my parents about anything either. Yes it's how they grew up
