How should I tell my mom?
For the past two years I have felt suicidal and recently I have been not eating one day a week instead of cutting. I have lasted up to a month on only water and honey alone but I got deathly pale and had a black out at the end of the month. Every time I try to talk to my mom she is busy and I want help because lately I have been hearing suicidal thoughts. I need to go to a psychiatrist before I actually do kill myself. I don't want to hurt my family because I feel unwanted. Its not my mother's fault I only see her for an hour a day and when I do she's on her telephone. Recently I started to run 5Ks for cross country but the runner's high eventually wears off and I feel miserable again. What should I do to escape this state of being? I have been in cliques in the past they only make me feel worse.

Cliques will not help you feel better. Friends will not help you feel better because most of them don't understand what you're going through.
You need to talk to your mom first. Make time, sit her down. Turn off all the electronics for a while. Then have a talk. A psychiatrist might help, but it didn't for me. Just my opinion.
Second, find something that makes you happy, and dont listen to anyone's opinion if they try to bring you down. For me, it's video games. I'm a gamer. People call me a nerd, oh well, it makes me happy. Find a hobby.
Third, live a healthy lifestyle. Eat good foods. Your running, so that's good. Stay in shape and organized. Being really skinny doesn't mean you're in shape though, don't overdo it. Be fit, not sickly.
Good luck to you, I can only help so much over the Internet.

While I have not had any personal experience in feeling suicidal, I have felt depressed, and it is certainly hard to come out about that kind of stuff. I can definitely say that your mom would probably much rather take the time to hear about something this serious than have to face losing a child. If she's too busy, maybe there is someone else you can talk to? Another relative, or a friend of some sort? If you'd like, you can contact me at jk4211(at)gmail(dot)com to talk - I always love to talk to strangers, believe it or not. I know it can feel like we live in a world where everybody is consumed in their own lives, but you'd be surprised how many strangers like myself would take the time to listen and try to help in any way they can.

It sounds as though you are really in need of some love and attention. It sounds as though the person who is most important to you (your mother) isn't giving you the the attention you desire. You need to absolutely INSIST on having a conversation with your mother and let her know the deep down feelings of what it is you need and are missing from her. I hope that you receive what you need, but if not, in the end you must remember that God loved you first and therefore you should love yourself, even when others don't pull through for you. Give YOURSELF the love and attention you need. If that means you get outside help then do it. Love yourself....

I take it your mom uses her phone alot. You must get her attention sweetheart. Send her a email. Send her a text message. Write her a note and stick it to the steering wheel in her car. Just do what you can to get her attention. This is a serious situation. If that doesnt work have a friend drop you off at the nearest emergency room. im praying for you hunny.

Why don't you just let her read this. That would be a good way. Make sure your with her though. I had the same thoughts and wrote them in my diary, and of course my mom read my diary..but she never approached me about it..

Let her know that what you're going to say is painful, but because you love her and don't want to hurt her, she needs to hear it.

I feel you... i don't think i could tell my mom either because she might have a mental breakdown. It's important to tell someone atleast until it get better.
