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.

Done @MissGremlin

Unfortunately each new line automatically creates a new TW so I tried to just do a few chunks rather than the whole thing, because it would have created as many TWs as there are lines in the poem... Another thing we might need to forward to the tech team!

Re: Battles

@Jynx oh gees, there's like at least 26 TW boxes 😂. That definitely needs looking into i think, it was better when it was just one thing that you pressed on and then it showed the text.

Feeling so disappointed, I was really hoping that this medication would help. It's been 2 hours since I took my tablet for the night but here I am still awake and unable to sleep. After getting a good sleep last night after taking the first dose I was hopeful that maybe this was a turning point but I think i was just exhausted after a big day yesterday.

I'm feeling so nauseous which is scaring me cos of my emetophobia. I really want and need to be able to sleep but my thoughts are getting intense despite trying so hard to distract myself from them. I've sat and done my diamond art, listened to music, watched my TV shows, walked around my house, but nothing has helped. It's so frustrating, disheartening and exhausting to constantly try so many things but all they do is pass the time.

I'm safe, laying in bed with Casper snuggled up to me. I just needed to get things out, hoping I can sleep soon.

Re: Battles

Today is going to be a long day, I've woken up with intense thoughts that i haven't been able to shake. I've tried doing so much to distract myself but it's not working and I'm not feeling good so need to rest aswell. I'm trying to get through to lifeline but I can't even connect at the moment which is making it hard to sit with everything alone.

I'm safe for now, I've made a cuppa and I'm sitting on my bed with Casper. I just really want the thoughts to stop 😞.

Goodmorning @MissGremlin

We're here with you. I hear you. Is there anything we can do to support you this morning?

Does music, meditation, YouTube prayers or anything help? I was chatting with Captain about those things earlier this morning.

Morning mind can be so noisy and overwhelming. I really do understand.

I hope you get through to Lifeline soon.

Until then..

We're here.

Let me know you're ok yeah?

Sending my best.

Hh Xx

Re: Battles

Morning @hopeful_hannah, thankyou. I'm just trying to not sit alone with everything which is why I reach out here while I'm trying to get through to lifeline.

I had music on earlier, I can't do meditation and prayers aren't my thing. I've put the big bang theory on to have noise on in the background and I'm trying to do a bit of my diamond art.

The silly medication I've started really is making things so much worse, I'm trying to ride it out but I'm worried about how intense the thoughts are (I'm safe).

Still waiting to connect to lifeline.

Thankyou for being here ❤️.

@Captain24 I didn't want to interrupt your conversation or bring you down with my problems.

Re: Battles

It’s all good @MissGremlin Im here for you all the time and I’m worried about you in general but especially on here.

Don't worry about conversations. I can handle 2 different ones! Not many more though my ADHD brain doesnt cope! 😂

Dont ever worry about being me down. I’m working hard on myself but I am always here for you. You have been through the worst of it with me and supported me even when you are struggling yourself. I’ve got a few ways of looking after myself now. I know how to regulate so please feel free to say whatever you want whenever!

I don’t think I have made any sense at all. I’m pretty scattered brained today! I keep trying to put number 4 on letter Z! 😜

Please know it’s safe over there and I’m here for you no matter what
