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

@Captain24 it was a good moment and one that I'll be reminded of regularly. I got asked to be an admin to help support people in a mental health group that I'm in on Facebook, it gives me purpose as supporting people is something that I love doing.

Yes it's a hard one, I've just packed it up as I'm feeling a bit too emotional at the moment after finding out about rav3n leaving the forums. It's another grief to cope with which feels like too much right now (I'm safe). I'm sitting on my bed watching a TV show with Casper next to me.

Being so close to finishing is the hardest part cos you just want to get it done lol. I haven't sealed any of mine yet but I got some of the stuff and I'm going to try it out on a little one to see how it goes.

Re: Battles

@rav3n i wrote this for you ❤️. Hope it's ok. I will miss you being here.

In quiet threads, you showed up there,

with steady words and genuine care.

You stood beside us, though unknown,

just words that whispered, “You’re not alone.”

When minds would spiral, hearts would race,

you held a gentle, steady space.

Through things we struggled to explain,

you stayed to help us through the pain.

A name 'rav3n' across the screen,

offering support where hope was unseen.

You gave your time, you gave your care,

and showed that someone’s always there.

You never asked for thanks or fame,

you just showed up and stayed the same.

Just quiet strength in what you gave,

a steady presence, so hearts felt safe.

But now your time here comes to end,

the loss is hard, we cannot pretend.

Though you leave, your words will stay,

a light that guides us on our way.

Every heart you helped repair,

will hold a piece of you in there,

Though your posts will fade from view,

your kindness lives on in all you do.

So may you find the peace you gave,

in every life you helped to save.

Your presence brightened every space,

even though we never knew your face.

Thankyou for always being there,

for showing kindness, love, and care.

Your time, your words, your steady hand,

have made a difference, quiet and grand.

Re: Battles

@rav3n you're so welcome sweet ❤️.

It's been an absolute pleasure having you here and being able to share everything with you. This space won't be the same without you but I'll always treasure the kind words and support that you've given to me whilst I've known you here. Thankyou again and I truly wish you all the best for your studies ❤️.

I'm going to hop off for a bit cos I'm a mess, not really coping with any sort of loss at the moment (I'm safe). Going to lay and cuddle with Casper.

Re: Battles

That’s awesome news @MissGremlin. I’m so happy for you and you will do well at it.

Im sorry that that news has upset you. It is sad that they are leaving. The first time I read it was in here that you wrote.

Mum and dad have left and I have just set it up to finish it. All mine are sealed and framed. I don’t think I have a frame for this one though. I’m looking at ordering some more and have been going through photos. Just not sure which ones.

Re: Battles

@Captain24 thankyou sweet.

How did it go with mum and dad sweet? I don't have anywhere to be able to put frames up and I don't really like having things on walls anyway. Thinking I'll just get a folder to store them in. I was looking at more to order before too, have found a few that I like.

Re: Battles

They were here for 2 hours and carried on with shit that they have on repeat. I don’t care for gossip or who is who. I live in my own little bubble! But in saying that, I was good. I managed to get everything cooked in time and together! Pretty proud of myself @MissGremlin

I have picture rails down the hall so I hang them there but if I put anymore it’ll look cluttered. I want to put picture rails through all bed rooms and the rest of my house. It’ll have to wait though.

I hope you are able to get some.

Re: Battles

@rav3n it's ok. Don't think there would ever be a better time to share it. Have been giving Casper lots of cuddles. Hope you've been having a good last day on here sweet ❤️.
