Re: question dealing with topic of suicide

[thene]

In the spirit of full disclosure, I went through several years of being tempted to kill myself, and the thing that stopped me was that I, unthinkingly, asked my mom, hypothetically, what would she do if I killed myself. She answered, without hesitation, that she would kill herself to. That stopped me right cold, but the depression and feelings of helplessness didn't go away.

First-degree bereavement (that's spouse, parent or child) is THE event that's most likely to trigger stress and depression, and the traumatic effect of sudden or violent deaths compounds that. (So in that regard, your family would probably suffer more damage if they didn't know you were suicidal than if you do tell them). There's also a lot of evidence that depression is hereditary. So yeah, OP, it is fairly probable that if you kill yourself it will lead to someone in your immediate family feeling the exact same way you do now.

...You know what, I had never thought about it, but there has been depression and alcoholism on both sides of my family and thinking of it I can think of other family members who weren't exactly very sane.

Huh.

Er, thank you! This is awkward to think about but I feel better now that I know that there is probably something genetic going on.

(One more reason not to have kids; first it was my grandma being a twin, thus increasing the chances I would have twins myself, now this? Nawww. And actually, there there are some autoimmune possibly genetic diseases on my dad's side of the family ah I'm not passing on these genes okay.)

ffff don't worry about it. I totally hear you on the further-incentives-to-not-have-babies; my family is shot through with physical and mental disorders, and I got interested in the whole hereditary mental illness/bereavement trauma thing because my sister developed depression after our mother died of a platelet disorder, and I'm pretty sure (looking back at her behaviour) my mother was an undiagnosed depressive too. there see I overshared too.
