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.

@MJG017 i don't understand it either. Like even when i say i don't want to talk about it, i get pressured into giving them details. Whilst I believe that you would have been good at the lifeline training i honestly reckon peer support work is so much better.

It sucks that you didn't get that support so much earlier in life. The right support early on can really make all the difference in someone's life.

@MJG017 And then every now and then you get this from a crisis service and it restores that little bit of hope.

Hello @tyme, little bit of a rough day with having flashbacks but I'm doing my best to keep myself distracted and reaching out when I need to.

How are you going?

Re: Battles

Good to hear you are using the strategies available to you support yourself. It shows real strength and resilience.

I'm okay. Happy to see everyone on the forums. Sunday evenings always feel like I haven't seen people in a long time. @MissGremlin

Re: Battles

@tyme takes alot to reach out when you are feeling vulnerable and even more when you have been let down so many times.

It's always nice to see you on the forums. I haven't been on much lately so missed everyone.

Re: Battles

It true @MissGremlin ,

But as you've shared before, you reach out and reach out to no avail, then all of a sudden, you get one supportive person and it's like a breath of fresh air @MissGremlin

Hey @tyme, I'm still kicking. Which in itself feels like a big win these days. How have you been?

Well that was a nice little message to send you. It's good to see someone goes that little bit extra and shows some extra kindness.
