My Mom Pretended to Kill Herself and I Don't Know What to Do

The biggest challenge for me is remembering to do the breathing exercise, but there's a 3/4/3 cycle; breathe in for 3 seconds, hold for 4, breathe out for 3 and repeat. If you're able to do this action it may help in a moment of need. Another thing that helps me is to work on relaxing each individual muscle group until I've focused on my entire body; starting at the toes clench those feet muscles as hard as you can and release after a couple seconds. Moving onto the legs clenching the legs as hard as you can and then release. You repeat this until you've worked on all muscle groups within the body finishing with your head. The goal with this method is to calm your physical body. I hope these help you out :) I'm sorry for the level of stress you've been put under, that's not fair to you at all.

I can't imagine the stress you must have endured. The manipulation is wrong, she needs more help than you can give. Honestly I dont think I have the strength to deal with that, you actually handled well, you posted here for support. I wouldn't blame you for cutting ties all together. Dont ever feel guilty or responsible for someone's choices.
