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

@tyme you are so right. Many of us are so very fond of our @MissGremlin.

I am trying to find a plant for her, as the one she wants I can't find...boo!!

I am doing intercessory prayer for our Grem, there's too much on her shoulders at the moment and she needs some peace and rest.

xoxo

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin see I don't consider that self diagnosis - you've had confirmation from 2 medical practitioners.

My Godson when he was younger would stay with his dad and dad's girlfriend who did a 2 minute test she found on google and then claimed Godson had ADHD. His mother and I both agreed it was a load of bunkum, he didn't display any traits and his own GP said the same thing - he did NOT have any learning disorders. Heck, I did the same test and it claimed I had ADHD and I don't.

I just think there are too many people who are misdiagnosed and I am eternally grateful for my GP that he didn't jump to any conclusions regarding my mental health. I am sad that he's retired and I have to find another decent GP that will be just as good.


For me, my diabetes diagnosis has caused me more trouble than my depression/bipolar/anxiety.
I've had stomach upsets, fatigue and other symptoms and need again to find a medical practitioner to help with those side effects.

Are you still watching Harry Potter? I have been watching 90 Day Fiancé - The Other Way.

I don't know why I like reality shows so much, I think I enjoy talking to the TV!! 🤣

Re: Battles

@ENKELI see I'd never even considered autism until my oldest child actually got diagnosed with it. So many behaviours that I'd dismissed as just being quirks and that it was just how I coped. But when I opened up to a psychologist (we had 43 sessions together) and she got to know me plus my doctor that I've been seeing for over 10 years now mentioned it and picked up on so many traits the pieces sort of all fit together.

Doing a 2 minute test from google is hardly enough to give any type of diagnosis. I'm glad the mother agreed with you, some people just want to put a label on when the smallest symptoms/behaviours show up even when those things could be from many other factors.

There's alot of people who are misdiagnosed for many things, which is sad cos then they don't get the help they actually need. It's the worst having to try to find another good GP, but there out there just sometimes it can take a while to find them.

Hope you can find one soon so that you can get some treatment to help you sweet, it can't be easy having to live with so many symptoms from the diabetes.

I'm still watching Harry potter, or rather it's just on in the background. I haven't done any of my diamond art cos my head hurts too much. Trying to find the energy to get off the lounge and hop into bed. But I need to do dishes if I do and take Casper out, do my hair and teeth, it's so much effort 😂.

Haha why can I picture you talking to the TV 😂. I actually can't stand reality TV shows, they drive me nuts lol. Ok so I'm already nuts, but even nuttier 😂

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin I'm already nuts so perhaps that's why I torture myself with bad TV!

I hope you are able to have a decent rest and that there is something good for you on the weekend.

Much love beautiful 😍

Morning @MissGremlin

I'm just riding some big emotions that have come up in my reply to Jynx over on my Acceptance thread. I'm listening to Luna sleep breathe and having a cuppa in bed.

How are things over there?

In response to: Re: Battles

Re: Battles

@NightFury i was just reading through your thread sweet so can understand why those big emotions are there and i know we've talked about the lawn bowls thing before. Listening to Luna sleep breathe and having a cuppa sounds perfect.

My whole body is aching today, I thought I might have been coming down sick but I'm thinking maybe it's fun carrying so much tension. Either way I'm feeling a bit crappy and my head is still pounding. Thinking about making a cuppa and trying to relax for the day.

In response to: Re: Battles

Re: Battles

My cuppa has gone cold though @MissGremlin so it's not as nice to drink. I might have to make a fresh one.

Talking about it has made me feel teary. Not my cuppa, though that is sad, but talking about the bowls, QLD and that I hate being a disappointment to others.

I'm sorry you feel crappy today. It sounds like a rest day on the couch is needed.

In response to: Re: Battles

Re: Battles

@NightFury I'm going to pop my kettle on so I can make a cuppa.

I don't know why but I just started crying and everything feels so incredibly heavy (I'm safe).

It's understandable that it's made you feel teary, there's alot of things that you are carrying at the moment. But know one thing, you're not a disappointment, not now, not ever.

I'm here with you sweet and sending you hugs ❤️

Re: Battles

Hugs, my friend @MissGremlin

An emotional start for both of us. I wish I felt that way about myself.

I need to get up and feed Luna, she's hungry and hassling. I'm also hungry and needing fresh coffee.
