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

@MissGremlin I was taught that letting people know if know won’t be around, change of plans or things have to be cancelled is curtesy. One of the “must do” I was taught that I’m comfortable with.

also stops all the thoughts due to unknown or perceived rejection from taking hold, things that are not strangers to me.

2 1/2 jobs done out of the target 4. Better than nothing and I’m happy with what I got done

Re: Battles

@Flutterbug9 i agree with you there that it's courtesy to let people know. It's why I try to let people know when I can't reply quickly to a post or that I'm stepping away cos I'm overwhelmed, rather than them thinking that they've said/done something wrong.

Those things aren't strangers to me either sweet, it's hard when our thoughts jump to the worst case scenario and then the rejection sets in.

You've done incredibly well to get 2½ jobs done, I'm really proud of you sweetheart ❤️

Re: Battles

@NightFury trying to hide from the world. I made a few phone calls before and I have a meeting at 3.30. I have a migraine and I feel like I'm going to burst into tears but I don't know why (I'm safe). I'm laying on my lounge and snuggling with Casper.

How's things going over there sweet?

Re: Battles

Everything feels so scattered and unproductive today @MissGremlin I've finished two tasks off my to do list and they've taken me forever because my focus is terrible.
