Triggering Warning- My mother who has stage 4 cancer started talking about dying on Mother's day! She said it was to prepare me for what was going to happen! It was more than I could take! I went back to my self harm! I know that it won't make things any better but the physical pain to me is easier to take than the emotional pain! I just don't know how to deal with this emotional pain!

I hear you mate. My mother (who has no immediately life threatening problems but ongoing mental health issues, so I know it's not the same thing...) has tried talking to me about her death and things I'll need to do n stuff, it's very hard to deal with, I can't even imagine how much harder it must be for you... I asked my mum to say whatever she felt she needed to in a letter or email so that I could read it when I felt up to it or when it was necessary, perhaps something like that would work for your mum so that she can tell you whatever she needs to without you having to deal with a conversation that's too much for you. I totally get what you mean about the physical pain being easier to deal with, but if you can please try not to hurt yourself again. Do you have any other coping methods you can use to express your feelings? Hugs
