It may also be worth considering whether part of the issue is the way he's talking about suicide. Like race, religion, politics, gender, etc, suicide is a really sensitive topic. Many people (unintentionally) discuss it in ways that are disrespectful and damaging. For suicide, this might sound like: -"Just shoot me" when someone's frustrated -"people who attempt suicides are cowards, they take the easy way out" -"suicide is so selfish" -"natural selection at work, eh" These kinds of comments elicit strong emotions. If your dad is saying these kind of things, a healthy response from you may include pointing out that he is being offensive and educating him (if you think that could be effective) or setting boundaries about not discussing suicide with him (you'd need to clearly state that you don't want to discuss suicide with him and then leave conversations if he brings it up)

My sister has a habit of talking about extremely triggering things around me. It's not something to avoid but it still upsets me a lot, she does it when I'm stuck in a car with her, or loudly outside my bedroom door. She's talking about those things because they're relevant to her own life, they're not aimed at me, but we have had some very similar experiences and I developed PTSD whereas she didn't, which she knows. She also talks a LOT in general (she has anxiety) and is young, I wish she was just more aware of the impact and have these conversations in a way that is more considerate, but I have also found it very difficult to make her aware of how this affects me- I don't want a fight about it.

New theme
Hi again :c I’ve been having terrible thoughts of hurting my loved ones I’ve stopped watching horror movies which is my favorite genre and can’t even watch or read anything related to violence even if it’s just a video or movie talking about it, I get triggered so fast I really miss feeling that relief with my mom I miss my mom so much and I just don’t know what to do anymore I almost committed last weekend from how scared I was and Ik your thinking will you try again? idk I’m not sure, one day I might say “no” next I’ll plan it out, but truth be told I don’t want to die I want to live a normal life, I want to stay with my mom and my family, I love my family and my grandma and my older brother..I’m so sick of feeling this feeling, I’m tired of arguing with my brain, I want to be with my mom and spend time with her like I used to, but I can’t stand that thought of hurting them it makes me shake and I feel this pain in my chest, my OCD has been trying to convince me all those crime docs and stuff I’m into turned me this way but that’s impossible since I’ve never thought like this before I’m just tired that’s all Idek know what I’m looking for saying this..prolly just to vent or to know if this will ever go away..
