I'm feeling much more stable these last few weeks after having some rough weeks of anxiety and suicidal thoughts blah blah blah.. However I'm a bit shook up right now...
My mum is a writer, and I spotted some poetry on the family computer that she'd written.
A few years back I'd seen a poem she'd written which included a sentence about feeling suicidal and being tired of "carrying on"
She is currently unemployed, but is happily married to my father, I have moved back home for a while and the family all get on well.
Anyway, I'm going to cut an extremely long unnecessary story short.
I found a new poem she's written very recently, the poem is on sucidal thoughts and being borderline depressed and she writes her thoughts on the tragic effects it'd have on the family.
I've kept most of my feelings quite with my parents, and I'm not sure what to do with her.
I ask her genuinely one on one if she is OK, as in, reaallllly. She always responds yes. She appears confident, positive, and I know she supresses any negative thoughts and deals with things herself and doesn't open up very much. She is a very proffessional lady and she brings that into her personal life and she has great issues with coming across as a weak individual.
I really don't know what to do. Should I mention something? How? How can I when she doesn't want to share when I ask? Maybe I need to push it out?
Is it my business when often I'm in the same situation? I think this has been going on for some time though.
Anyway.
Any advice would be greatly greatly appreciated.
Many thanks everyone.
