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

Feeling so incredibly frustrated and full of emotions and thoughts. I was so tired earlier tonight so I was hopeful that I'd get a decent sleep. Well I fell asleep just after 10pm but I've woken up so many times between then and 11.46pm when I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep. I keep having nightmares but ones that are only short, still I wake up in such a panicked state and it's hard to settle after them. When I woke up just before I was crying but I'm not even sure why, even now that I'm awake my eyes keep filling with tears. Now I'm wide awake and struggling to manage all the feelings and thoughts that are going on. I just want to be able to sleep and I don't understand why I can't. I've been trying different strategies to get back to sleep when I do wake up and whilst I'm sometimes able to doze off again it's only for a few minutes at a time. I've woken up with my head pounding which makes it even harder to get back to sleep and just makes everything feel so much more intense cos I'm trying to cope with pain aswell as the thoughts and feelings.

I just needed to get this out and to not feel so alone. I'm safe for now, laying here with Casper. I've tried to do a few things to get back to sleep but nothing has worked so far.

How are ya? @MissGremlin 🐥 more to the msg above when the pic comes through remind me hehe.

How was your day, was it the first day with your support worker?


thanks for all your help last night gosh for some reason that really managed to confuse me. I did miss your post above you pic so responding to that now ☺️

Oohh exciting, hopefully they come tomorrow but so glad you found the kola one, very cute!

Re: Battles

@Chasingsunsets haha my car isn't quite as decorated with ducks as that one, but it's getting there 😂.

It's the first time I've met the support worker, we chatted out the front of my house for an hour.

I can see how it was confusing, I'm just glad you were able to sort it out. I was going to say maybe there's a setting but I've never really played around with much on the forums so wasn't sure.

The diamond art arrived today, I did start a new one but was getting frustrated with it so switched over it making lucky stars.

Re: Battles

Sorry pressed the send button before I had the chance to write anything 😂. @MissGremlin

Kidding do you actually have ducks on your car! That’s so funny.

so I was intrigued about her car so read the article attached

“turning a lemon into lemonade-

Back in 2006, a Wisconsin woman named Jen Mulder had the exterior of her 1989 Toyota Camry severely damaged by a hail storm. The car itself still ran great, but the outside was trashed. The cost of repairing the hail damage would be way more than the car's value, so what do you do? Glue hundreds of rubber ducks on it to cover the damage, apparently.”

I just think that genius right 😆

How did you go with you support worker, a hour chat sounds really decent- how do you feel about them?


yeah geez not even sure what I did but it’s was terrifying being lost in threads 😂 . Crazy 😂. Then the birds topped it off at the end 😂😂

Ohh lucky stars sound cool!

Re: Battles

@Chasingsunsets indeed I do and the numberplate to match it 😂.

That's actually genius to cover up the damage, not sure how legal it would be though 😂.

It was ok. At this stage the only thing that they can help me with is trying to get support letters to see if we can get me moved to to category 1 for housing. But I've only got 4 months and once a week with the support worker.

I know if it was me I probably would have had a full on meltdown 😂. The birds just to top it off, honestly it was quite the night for you.

Hoping that tonight's been better for you.
