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 really are trying, and it shows, even in the small things you’re doing to get through the day @MissGremlin 💮

@Nala2022 i was trying to get the things out that I need for crochet but I started panicking cos I can't find my crochet hooks and I almost passed out 😞. I'm safe and sitting down for a few minutes to allow my body to settle.

Re: Battles

That sounds really scary, especially when it comes on so suddenly like that

I’m really glad you’ve sat down and are giving yourself a moment to let things settle, that’s exactly what your body needs right now. Try to take it gently, focusing on slow breaths.

If it feels okay, is there someone you could call or have come over to be with you for a bit?

I’ll be heading off the forums shortly, but I’ll be back on tomorrow morning. In the meantime, please continue to reach out here or to other supports if you need.

You’re doing the right things, and you’re not alone in this 💮 @MissGremlin

@Nala2022 it was scary, I was trying to push through the feelings cos I wanted to find them but I knew if I didn't sit down i would fall down. So I came and sat down, I'm trying to focus on my breaths while my brain is going a million miles an hour at thinking of where they could be.

I don't have anyone that can be with me or to even call. I am chatting to a friend online though for some company.

Hope you enjoy the rest of your day and thankyou for your support ❤️.

Re: Battles

You did exactly the right thing by stopping and sitting down when you noticed how your body was reacting. Even if your mind is racing, focusing on your breathing like you are can really help your body settle over time.

I’m glad you’ve got your friend online to chat with for now.

Please take things gently for the rest of the day, especially with how much you’ve been dealing with.

Take care of yourself 💛 @MissGremlin

Re: Battles

Hello @NightFury my sweet. I had to make an unexpected trip out so I just got back home. Feeling a bit all over the place and panicked (I'm safe).

How's things over there?

Re: Battles

I've just made a cuppa and sat down in front of the TV. I feel a bit anxious @MissGremlin
