I have attempted suicide twice now, once at 11, the other at 14. The first time, I really just wanted to escape my dad, so it was a shock when I woke up the next day to find myself still alive. I told my parents hoping for support and instead my dad screamed at me and told me I was just “making an excuse to get out of going to school”. He hit me, mocked me and dragged me across the floor. The second time, I tried running away from home to end my life due to my Schizophrenia becoming too much. However, I fell asleep sneaking out of the house and my parents found me outside. Again, my dad just laughed at my pathetic attempt and told me to stop acting like a baby, alongside how ungrateful I am for everything he does for me. I wish I could just leave him but I can’t and I constantly feel depressed because of him.
