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

Hello @Ru-bee, currently on a phone call which is really stressful. Having to go through all the trauma again. So at the moment I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed. How are you going?

Re: Battles

Okay @MissGremlin , I'm sitting here with you. Proud of you for being able to take this call. Do you have some comforting activities/plans for when the call is done? Maybe something nice and soothing after doing something so difficult?

My day is going fine, I realised that I shrunk a dress in the wash that has lots of sentimental value to me so I'm a bit flat, but the day will go on! I might make myself a cup of tea because I know that'll be comforting, are you able to make yourself a nice warm drink and join me?

Re: Battles

Thanks @Ru-bee. The phone call is done, wasn't particularly helpful and now I have to try and work out what I'm supposed to do. It's just brought everything back up again. I'm currently on route for a 3 hour round trip so at least I'm somewhat occupied for the moment.

Oh no that sucks about the dress, sending you big hugs ♥️. Having a drink isn't an option at the moment, travel sickness and having things in one's stomach isn't such a good idea.

Re: Battles

Well I hope that offers a bit of a welcome distraction for you @MissGremlin

Do you have much on in the afternoon or will you have some time to decompress a bit?

Re: Battles

@Ru-bee it's at least nice to have company right now.

I actually have a busy afternoon, have shopping to do also. Kind of just want to rest and avoid the world.
