Should I tell a trusted family member or seek a therapist?

I can't even begin to imagine how you feel. But u definitely need to tell someone, if you trust your aunt then it would be the best option, if not and you have some money then therapist is the 2nd option, if none of the above then talk 2 listeners here to take out all that emotions inside of you, or you can choose a specific listener and have a continuing conversations daily or something similar :)I do hope you feel better soonTake care Miss

Dear Having abusive mom..is really hard I can imagine how bad u feel I think u should do both Open up to someone close that u trust And seek therapy so u try to find ur psychological balance Best of luck

If you attempted suicide, you definitely need to seek out professional help! A trusted family member can support you, but they're not certified crisis counselors. They can only give you their opinion, and what you really need is someone who knows what they're talking about and is trained to help with situations like yours. If for some reason you CAN'T find professional help (i.e. you can't afford it), THEN I would recommend talking to your Aunt about it. Some help is better than no help, but professional help is better than anything else. If you think you are in danger of hurting yourself again, you can speak freely and anonymously to a certified crisis counselor at imalive.org

Seek a therapist! and you can tell others as well, if you trust them. Healthy communication is key to living a stable happy life. It's okay to love your mother, she's your mother, but she shouldn't be treating you that way. It sounds like she needs some therapy herself. Seek help and support, you deserve it.

I would definitely talk to a professional therapist -- and FIRST. With the therapist's guidance, if you later choose to speak to your aunt, that may be a good, healthy move as well. But you definitely need professional advice here, and keeping it within the family could cause some messiness.

That's rough.. I think you should tell a trusted family member because they are apart of the family and they may know how to handle the situation more than a therapist would but when all else fails you should see what a therapist has to say or offer.

Try speaking to a trusted family member first. If nothing happens then seek a therapist.
