So, this actually happened earlier today.

For context, i've been dealing with clinical depression for the past 5 or 6 years and i've been in therapy, i've been suicidal before, and i still have very bad days in which i feel very very depressed and have suicidal thoughts.

​

Today was one of those days, and when it happens i get very emotional on top of being depressed.

I was thinking about the usual and i got to thinking about dying and killing myself, and like i was just trying to stave it off by thinking of all the good things i have that i should stick around for, such as family and all that...

And this led me to think of my parents. And i just realized how much i care for them and how little i actually show it to them... We argue so much and we get angry at eachother, and i barely tell them i love them...

I didn't want to make the mistake of living my life angry at my parents and not having the chance to make up for it in the future, so i just absentmindedly sent them a text to tell them i loved them and to have a good day.

​

Cue to 10 min later and i get a frantic call from my mom asking me where i am and telling me that she loves me and to not do anything rash and that things will work out in the end.

Apparently my dad thought i was saying goodbye for good.

I then had to spend another 10 min convincing her i was just having a bad day and that i only wanted to tell them i loved them before i lost the chance to do so.

This is probably going to lead to a very awkward convo later tonight... That's what i get for trying to make a nice gesture >.<

​

Tl;Dr: I was depressed and decided to tell my parents i loved them before i lost the chance, made them think i was saying goodbye and killing myself.
