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

@peacelily just really trying to stay connected. So overwhelmed by my thoughts, feelings and emotions racing through me. I've reached out to crisis services and been let down. I haven't been able to sleep cos I'm having such vivid flashbacks, I can see and feel things happening to me all over again. I'm struggling to stay in the present moment, i don't know what's real and what's not anymore.

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin I hear you and it can be very valuable to reach out to crisis services . However if you are feeling unsafe i do advise you reach out . And yes very frightening not knowing what is real or not . What are some self soothing strategies you could try as i hear sleep is not coming right now

Re: Battles

@peacelily reaching out to crisis services is doing more harm than good at the moment. I've been trying to listen to music, watch a TV show, colouring, I had a shower, a drink, I was doing my puzzle. But I'm just getting angry and frustrated at myself cos nothing is working then it just leaves me wanting to hurt myself.

Re: Battles

@peacelily honestly I'm not even sure what to do anymore, every part of me just wants to give up.
