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

@Jynx not unless you can get rid of the crazy stalkers in my life. I just can't post anything identifiable so it's making things hard. I hate being watched, every conversation I have here is being monitored and gets used against me.

Re: Battles

Hey @MissGremlin, sorry to hear that you experienced that this evening. It can be triggering sometimes, and it can really make us emotional by reading what others go through. Did you get some colouring in done, or have you been focusing on other things this evening? RiverSeal

Re: Battles

@RiverSeal yeah it can. Usually I'm ok to just scroll past without an issue but not tonight. I shouldn't have read the actual thread, the title was enough to trigger me but of course I read on. I've done a little bit of colouring and I'm watching my TV show also.

Re: Battles

Bit like that hey @MissGremlin I know I can't stop myself sometimes. It can help to have a think about the things that differentiate your two stories; but only if that wouldn't be too triggering a space to dwell within.

Take it slow and steady hun, hope you're in colouring-flow all too soon!!

Be gentle with your wonderful self, and I'll catch you next week 💜

Re: Battles

@Jynx definitely a bit too triggering to even think about.

I did a bit of colouring.

Hope you have a good night, thanks for the chats ❤️

Hey @MissGremlin

I'm sorry to hear that you were having a hard time last night. What are some things that would be helpful this morning?

Re: Battles

Hello @Ru-bee, today and right now I really need to keep distracted. Those thoughts and urges are so incredibly intense and loud today. And yes I'm reaching out when I can but it's not really helping.

Re: Battles

Okay @MissGremlin well I'm glad that you are reaching out, and I'm sure the community will be able to offer some distractions today - I'll be starting another hang out space thread shortly where we can all chat. - However just remember that if these thoughts and urges are heading towards a crisis then the best thing to do is to seek that immediate crisis support
