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

@Nala2022 thankyou sweet, i just really hope that they listen and help me to get that support.

I've managed to find it on YouTube so I'm streaming it to my TV 😂. I haven't watched it for years but I still sit here saying every line 😂.

I've definitely done enough for the day so I'm allowing myself to rest now. I'm worried that I've upset captain unintentionally.

I've been able to join the chat queue now but thinking of making myself a salad sandwich while I'm waiting.

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin I really hope they listen to you too and that you’re able to get the ongoing support you’ve been asking for

That's so good that you can still remember every line! I love that you’ve managed to stream it to the TV too, amazing!

I’m glad you’re allowing yourself to rest. I can understand why you’re worried about Captain, especially if you’re concerned that something you said may have upset her. I know you’d never intentionally hurt her, and I'm sure she knows that too. Try not to be too hard on yourself while you’re already dealing with so much today 💛

I’m glad you’ve managed to get into the chat queue too. A salad sandwich sounds like a good idea while you’re waiting. Hopefully you can have a nice quiet afternoon with your movie, some food and Casper 💛

Re: Battles

@Nala2022 thankyou sweet ❤️

I have a google home thing cos my TV is old (17 years to be exact). My friend gave it to me many years ago when I was going through a hard time and needed to be able to watch things to keep distracted.

I'm trying to not overthink it, but you know what our brains are like 😂.

I made my sandwich and it's yummy, chatting to the crisis service while I eat.

Now to relax until the mental health team come at 2pm, i get more anxious as it gets closer to the time haha.

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin Aw that was so kind of your friend and incredible after 17 years it's still working!

I know exactly what you mean about our brains overthinking things, I'm guilty of this too 😂.

I’m glad your sandwich was yummy and that you’re chatting with the crisis service while you eat 😊 Hopefully you can have a little bit of quiet time now before the mental health team arrives. I can understand why you’re getting more anxious as it gets closer, but you’ve already been really clear about what you need from them, so hopefully you’ll feel a little more settled once they’re there 💛

Re: Battles

@Nala2022 it does have a line going through it that's slightly discoloured but I'm used to it. I won't replace it until it stops working.

Our brains are our own worst enemy at times 😂.

I finished chatting to them, it helped to get things out. Now I'm just sitting here doing my diamond art and dealing with horrible nausea. I'm really hoping so, thankyou sweet ❤️.

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin I’d be the same, if it’s still working then why replace it haha

They really are. Sometimes our brains just refuse to give us a break, especially when we already have so much going on

I’m glad talking to them helped you get some things out. Hopefully sitting quietly with your diamond art can help keep you a little distracted while you’re feeling so nauseous. I’m sorry you’re feeling so rough though 😞 hopefully the nausea settles down a bit and you can have a calmer rest of the day 💛

Re: Battles

@Nala2022 exactly, no point replacing something if it ain't broke!

I'm still yet to find that magic off switch, if I do I'll be sure to share where it is with you 😂.

I took an anti nausea tablet as it's quite bad and the anxiety on top doesn't help. My brain is already trying to think what movie I'm going to watch after this one, I was looking at my DVD collection before trying to get ideas but there's over 1000 movies on my racks to choose from 😂. Going to put a few names in a hat at this point and pick a random one, we all know that still wouldn't work though cos I'd choose something else 😂.

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin please do share haha

I’m glad you’ve been able to take something for the nausea, especially when the anxiety is making it worse. Hopefully it settles down a bit soon 💛

Over 1000 movies?! No wonder you’re struggling to choose! I actually think putting a few names in a hat would be a pretty good idea, although you’re right, you’d probably pick something completely different anyway 😂 I get so indecisive too at times when it comes to picking what to watch so now I've made a movie list and a tv series list and I go in order, no exceptions lol I just finished the series Emily in Paris, I ended up really liking it! And now I'm watching the show 'Evil' which is very dark, supernatural type themes

Re: Battles

@Nala2022 I'll be sure to!

I hope it does too.

I have a very large collection of movies 😂. I suck at making decisions, I often start watching a movie and then change to watching something else 😂. Haha I like that idea but I'm not great at sticking to things.

I've just had the weirdest thing happen, I turned my head and I could hear like plastic rustling behind me, I thought maybe something was in my hoodie but there's nothing. The noise is actually inside my ear and it won't go away. It's got me curious now if all this dizziness is related to my ears!

Re: Battles

@Nala2022 ok, don't laugh at me but I just cleaned my ear out and turns out there was 2 dog hairs inside it. How on earth did they make so much noise inside my ear 😂.
