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.

@Jynx glad it was nice even though at times intense. Hope settling back into routine goes smoothly for you. It's definitely been a bit of a rough time lately. I just finished making a burger for dinner so Casper is eyeing it off 😂

@Jynx i think i might have but can't remember it 😂.

I just got into bed and now thoughts/feelings are creeping in. Hoping that once i put Angel on and do my diamond art that it will keep them at bay.

Hello @NightFury my sweet, it's been a bit of a rough day. Had a moment earlier today where my anger took over and I took it out on myself, was just one little thing that tipped everything over the edge. Have a very sore and bruised hand that I'll need to get checked out when I can, but this week is completely busy with appointments.

How's things over there?

Re: Battles

Ice it @MissGremlin ice it as much as you can. 20 minutes with ice, 20 minutes without.

I've had a busy day. I got the washing under control, changed and washed the bed, vacuumed and washed the floors and started and finished a 500 word assignment.

Re: Battles

@NightFury Was just about to reply to you over in your thread haha. Good to hear from you 😊 I will finish my post in a tick 😋

@MissGremlin Glad you are taking those steps to look after yourself. You got this, I believe in you!

I saw some teaser thingy and got REALLY excited that maybe there's gonna be another Firefly series... It's been like two decades or something lol. But maybe it's one worth a re-watch now!

Re: Battles

@NightFury at the time i didn't even think to ice it, i was very overwhelmed so much so that I almost called an ambulance. I was going to get my doctor to check it out on Tuesday but then i realised I've double booked myself cos I have the dentist aswell. But I'm going to mention it to him when I do a telehealth appointment, he will no doubt do a referral for an xray.

Wow you've done incredibly well today sweetheart, so proud of you. Does that mean tomorrow is a day for rest and self care?
