Managing thoughts of suicide & self-harm

Battles

Battles

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.

Support button isn't working @NightFury so here's mine. Another early riser! Can you tell me what sort of work you do? No need to answer! I'm going for a walk soon to get out of the unit and have a coffee downtown. My new routine which will hopefully last! I hope you have a good day at work and hopefully catch up later! Sending hugs and much love 💜

Re: Battles

I like the sound of your new routine @heartathome

I have just started a new job (well three weeks ago) and now work as a Behaviour Support Practitioner. Previously I worked as a teacher.

I hope you have a good day and enjoy your coffee!

Thinking of you @MissGremlin

Wow. It's early days in the job! That sounds like it could be pretty intense work!!! @NightFury Considering you've only been three weeks in this position, are you happy with the new job so far?

I'm not sure if you're in an office, work in a classroom setting or supporting people on the NDIS. I don't need to know! I'm known for asking questions! Please don't feel like you've got to answer any of them! I know work and anonymity is extremely important.

I used to work with a young teenager who had many meltdowns and could become violent when I worked with kids with disabilities. She had to have two support workers with her at all times. It was very difficult but so rewarding to feel the rapport between us! I could relate to her frustration and anger! I could also relate to her running around the backyard naked and screaming. I could have joined her! We had a good relationship! 🙂

I know you and others, including myself are concerned about @MissGremlin . If you want to talk, I'm here.

Hopefully catch up later 💜

Is it okay to take this over to my thread? @heartathome so we don't clog up Dreamy's thread.

Sounds good @NightFury ! Could you tag me on your thread as I wouldn't have a clue how to get there. 💜

Stopping by @MissGremlin, guess what, I saw a really cool jumping spider today was admiring a birds nest and saw him, he really wanted to get close to me and I was happy being at a distance lol but managed a pic! Can I share spider pics? 🤔 thought of you! I was like dreamy would definitely like this one! Take care my friend you are not alone 💜

Hi @MissGremlin sorry I’ve not been there for you recently, completely my fault.

I will read through all the posts I’ve missed as soon as possible. No need to repeat things, unless you want to

Im not doing well and haven’t been for short while. Constantly on edge and struggling to deal with emotions. Trying not to not say much on the forums about my struggles as everyone has their own things to deal with.

for variety of reasons I’ve decided to reduce the number of times I’m on the forums plus number of days I’m signing in on.

please don’t let that stop you tagging me in your posts.

even though I won’t be on the forums as much as I have been, please know I’m be thinking about you
