Managing thoughts of suicide & self-harm

Hi all, does anyone else just feel like life is just one big sh!t show? It's just one thing after another, constant drama, family issues, money struggles, stress, anxiety it's just always something.

When do things get easier, do things ever change?

I've been through more than i care to think about in my life but today has pushed me to breaking point and it's bringing up alot of bad memories of previous suicide attempts.

I just feel like it's not worth it, it's not worth fighting, not worth hanging on anymore.

Re: Battles

@Flutterbug9 no worries sweet.

Hope lawn bowls lesson and practice goes well for you.

Housework is never ending, i guess at least you'll still get to be home with you cats.

The Lego arrived last week. I've started building it and I've just finished bag 4 tonight ☺️

Hi @MissGremlin

I've been busy this morning. I've cleaned the oven, cleaned out the spare room, washed the windows, pulled the weeds in the driveway and mowed the front lawn. I've just had a shower and I'm getting ready to head to bowls.

How's your morning been?

Re: Battles

@NightFury you've done incredibly well sweet, I'm so proud of you.

How did lawn bowls go?

Sorry I didn't get to check in more, I had to go to the shops and only just got home.

Re: Battles

No need to apologise @MissGremlin

Lawn bowls was tough. It was really hot and it was a hard game. We lost by 6. I got a little dizzy half way through, but Powerade helped.

How was the shops? Sounds like a long day.

Re: Battles

@NightFury it's hot here today and I'm struggling with the heat so definitely can relate to the dizziness, but glad the powerade helped.

The shops was tough. Would you like to have a cuppa with me?

Re: Battles

I've been experiencing a little dizziness lately. If I'm brave I might mention it to my GP on Monday @MissGremlin

I would love to have a cuppa with you.

Re: Battles

@NightFury i think it's a good idea to mention it to your gp but see how you go when you are having your appointment, I know it's not always easy to bring things up.

Yay ☺️. I'm going to have an iced coffee.

Re: Battles

@NightFury oh that looks good.

I'm feeling so overwhelmed at the moment and having lots of strong thoughts (I'm safe) so trying to just sit and focus on enjoying my iced coffee while chatting to you. My ears are really sensitive so any noise is too loud and just irritates me.

What's for dinner tonight for you?
