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.

Re: Battles

I am restless and struggling to focus @MissGremlin how are things for you over there?

Re: Battles

@NightFury that sounds tough sweet. Guessing you are still at work too?

I'm a mess (I'm safe for now), I had the mental health team ring earlier and it was hard talking about things. Will see how it goes when she comes out to see me on Tuesday next week.

Yeah, I'm still at work @MissGremlin

That sounds like such a tough phone call. I'm glad you were able to talk about what you're going through though and that they are coming out to see you on Tuesday.

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin hi sweetheart, I am just checking in to see how you're going. Did you have anxiety this morning at all?
I love Buffy and Angel too, and started watching Buffy again. I think my brother has the DVDs, he was a fan too.

I used to have 2 gay friends who basically adopted me as their honorary sister and when J bought P a Labrador for his birthday I went with J to pick the dog up. I was then dubbed the Dogmother to their dog Max and whenever I stayed with J&P Max would sleep with me. Man he used to snore and he took up most of the bed! P told me one morning he got up early to see me on the foldout bed in the loungeroom almost falling off the edge while Max was happily spread out across the bed. I was away for a couple of years and when we reunited it was like I'd never been gone. Max greeted me with his usual exuberance. I was also blessed to be with him when he got cancer and crossed over the rainbow bridge. He was about 13 or so which the vet told us was a good age for Labs.

Did the mental health team call like they were supposed to?

I'll check in again in a little while, I have been studying for the past 3 hours and wanted to take a quick break but I have 3 more units to go through but they are short so I will be able to check in with you in a little while. I'll be checking my email as well so if you need to chat (I know you have other amazing supporters here in Sane land too) give me a shout. xoxoxo

Re: Battles

haha I love that. I like rewatching shows with familiar characters too. I just rewatched Younger - have you seen it? @MissGremlin

Oh man, I missed it!!

I am so sorry, that sounds utterly exhausting for your mind and body to go through... perhaps a shower would offer a reset for you? 🫶

Bless, is he with you at the moment?

I am doing well today, I am just a bit sleepy. Your gal is often sleepy. 😂

Re: Battles

@NightFury it was a really hard call. I'm just holding on to a tiny bit of hope that they can help.

Would you like to have a cuppa with me?

Re: Battles

@AuntGlow i haven't seen younger. I've just started watching true blood again. I'm worried though that when I'm putting a movie on I'm putting it on like 4-5 times a day, so just watching it on repeat cos I can't stand the thought of change.

I'm still yet to have a shower, I really need to before the concert tomorrow night but I'm struggling to get myself in there.

I had to go to the shops so only just got home but he is with me now.

Glad you are doing well, can relate to the sleepiness. Hope you can get a good night's rest tonight ❤️

Re: Battles

Hello @ENKELI sweetheart, today has been really hard. The lady from the mental health team rang me earlier today, it was a tough and emotionally draining phone call, I burst into tears when I tried to talk about what's happening.

Buffy and Angel are honestly such good shows. I have the DVDs aswell but I'm glad they are on a streaming app cos it makes it so much easier.

Awww what an amazing story and Max sounds like he was a very special boy. Labradors are such characters and so loyal. Also13 is a good age for a lab, my 3 other girls (all labs) that I lost were 14, 15½ and 12, it was only my one girl that I lost when she was 3 due to renal dysplasia.

Hope you've been able to get more study done sweet, i don't know how you do it. I appreciate you checking in so much and love chatting to you. Love and hugs beautiful ❤️
