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

You’re making sense, even if it doesn’t feel like it for you right now. I’m also glad you were able to have a few sips of water

That's good that you were able to catch it and sit down before it got worse.

I really hope your doctor takes the time to properly look into what’s going on for you and doesn’t brush it off, you deserve to feel heard.

Baby steps are enough right now, just focusing on getting through things moment by moment 🌟 @MissGremlin

@Nala2022 it's hard when I feel like my words are getting all muddled up as I'm trying to get something out. I've finally finished what I needed to do and I'm sitting on my lounge with Casper while I catch my breath and let my heart rate settle a bit.

I'm hoping he does, cos it's not normal for me to be feeling like this. He hasn't been great at listening to my worries lately, well he listens but doesn't seem to take them seriously.

Today is very much a moment by moment day which I'm learning to accept is ok.

I’m really glad you’ve been able to sit down and take a breather with Casper, that sounds like a really good moment to pause and let everything settle for a bit.

It’s frustrating when doctors don’t take you seriously, you know your body the best and what you are feeling! And I can hear how important it is for you to feel listened to and taken seriously, especially when something doesn't feel right.

I think you’re doing really well with the “moment by moment” approach today, even if it doesn’t always feel easy

I will need to head off shortly and get a few things done, but I’ll check back in when I can, if not today then tomorrow. Hang in there @MissGremlin 🤗

@Nala2022 it was good to sit and let things settle a bit. I'm dressed now, just need to do my hair and take Casper out to the toilet before heading to the shops.

It is really frustrating, but tomorrow I'm planning on making sure he takes it seriously and I'm hoping something can be done with getting a sleep study done cos I'm over not being able to sleep properly.

Thankyou, I'm trying so hard today even when it feels impossible.

It's been lovely to chat today and it's helped, thankyou so much. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day ❤️. I shall keep hanging by my little thread and hope it keeps holding on ☺️.

Re: Battles

Hello @ENKELI sweetheart, my day is proving to be a challenge. Doing my best to take things moment by moment. I had to jump-start my car before just so I could get to the shops 😂.

How's your day going beautiful?

Hello @NightFury my sweet, how's things over there?

Re: Battles

Hi @MissGremlin

Things here have felt pretty heavy today. I've just put the paint by numbers away. I've been doing it for about an hour or so. I'm making slow progress.

How are things over there?

Re: Battles

@NightFury I'm sorry things have felt pretty heavy today sweet, i can relate to the feeling. I'm glad you've been doing the paint by numbers though.

Things are a real challenge here today, just taking things moment by moment.

Would you like to have a cuppa with me?

In response to: Re: Battles

Re: Battles

I was just thinking about whether it was time to make a cuppa or not. @MissGremlin so, yes, it sounds like it's time.
