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.

Re: Battles

@NightFury i don't have any plans for tomorrow other than the 2 quick trips, one in the morning and then the slightly longer one in the afternoon.

What about you sweet?

I have an RDO tomorrow. @MissGremlin I'm catching up with a friend I haven't seen since December last year. We're doing a beach walk and lunch.

Re: Battles

I'm a bit worried about it. @MissGremlin after so long, I'm worried that things have changed. It's a friendship that I value soso much...and I'm worried.

Re: Battles

@NightFury i hear you sweet and i can understand the worry. I have the one friend that I see and we sometimes go months without talking but then when we do talk we pick up right where we left off. I think as adults our way of maintaining friendships changes, we can't always see people regularly cos life gets busy but it doesn't mean that the friendship itself changes.

Re: Battles

I know. @MissGremlin logically, I know.

Adult friendships are hard. And I know, life has kept us both busy and the months have just flown by.

Re: Battles

@NightFury if only our brains and anxiety ran on the logical way of thinking hey.

They are hard but usually the friendships are stronger and more meaningful. I'm hoping once you see your friend that those worries will ease so you can enjoy the time together.
