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.

@Flutterbug9 he kept trying to lick it off but couldn't reach it 😂.

Yes sometimes I struggle with finding the words, I'll sit and stare at the screen for absolutely ages trying to reply and often frustrate myself doing so. I'm learning to either message to say I'll reply later cos I can't find the words or I'll just leave it and reply once I can.

I'm mindful about sharing pictures of her on here cos I know some people don't like to see snakes etc. Very true though that life would be very boring if we all liked the same things.

Hope you've been having a nice evening sweet ❤️

Re: Battles

Things have been pretty...blergh! @MissGremlin

I spent yesterday in pain with muscle soreness in my back, I went and had a massage because I just couldn't deal any more, and today I feel really foggy. My brain is slow and I feel super tired and drained.

Re: Battles

It has helped. @MissGremlin I'm not sure I'm a fan of massages. I've had a few bad experiences and it's hard because I don't like being touched, but I needed to do something, to try something.

Re: Battles

@NightFury yeah there's no way I could stand being touched for a massage so I can understand but I'm glad it's helped you sweet.

Re: Battles

@NightFury really rough. Honestly feel like I'm on a roller-coaster with the way things are at the moment (I'm safe).

I've just sat on my bed and I'm listening to music, I have my diamond art here but I don't know if I want to do any of it.

Re: Battles

You don't have to do any of it @MissGremlin there's no pressure.

I've just made a cup of tea. Luna and I won't be far out of bed either.

Re: Battles

@NightFury i don't know, since finishing the dragon one i just don't feel like I want to do any at the moment. I've been making some lucky stars though occasionally.

A cup of tea sounds great, i have an iced coffee with me. I'm glad to be in bed, it's been a long day and I'm going with my friend to her appointment tomorrow morning so hoping I can get some rest.
