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.

@MissGremlin I hear you hun, it is sounding incredibly overwhelming.

Hmmm maybe some distractions? I'm not here for long but you know how I can ramble on hehe. Or you can jump into a social thread and shake things up maybe.

@Jynx I'm trying so hard to just survive and I'm honestly ready to give up. I love when you ramble on, I always enjoy our chats.

Trying to avoid other threads cos no matter how hard I try to not drag my problems into it I always seem to fail.

Hey @MissGremlin

I know I'm popping up out of nowhere (bit jack-in-the-box-esque). Jynx is responding to some other posts and doing admin stuff too before we log off, so I thought I'd jump in 😊

Things sound super exhausting and overwhelming right now. For what it's worth, I'm so glad that you keep going. The way you support others in the community is so beautiful! I sometimes see your replies when I'm lurking (tehe) and you're so sweet AND interesting.

I know it feels like you "always fail", but you definitely don't ❤️

I'll be heading off shortly too, but please lean on the community tonight and be safe. Absolutely want to see some of your magic again soon ✨

Hello @0ddsidian, thankyou for the kind words, it really means alot. Honestly i try to push this community away for fear of ruining the one good thing that I have. I know i shouldn't but when everything good has been ripped away from me it's kind of a way to try and protect myself even if I'm harming myself in the process.

Anyway thankyou again ❤️

Hello @MJG017, been thinking about you. I want to ask how things have been but I feel like it's just not even a question that needs to be asked given the situation. But I genuinely care and do always want to know how you are going whether it be good or bad.

Hello @MissGremlin I remembered to check over here in this space. You’ve probably gone to sleep by now

Re: Battles

Hello @Till23, I'm not able to sleep tonight.

In response to: Re: Battles

Re: Battles

Neither am I @MissGremlin

I will have to try because I’ve got a webinar at 4am my time. It’s from the UK, so ok for them!

Re: Battles

@Till23 oh gees that's tough. I hope you can get some sleep.

Hi @MissGremlin

I was just checking emails before I headed off to bed and saw your message.

To be honest, I had quite a fun night tonight. It was our support group night and this month we had it at a pool hool [edited by moderator]. The guys that showed up had a great time, we had a good chat and played pool. But you know how it is... you get home and the reality as back and it's a big 'cone down'. So yeah, apart from tonight, best to just not ask how I'm going. It saves me from swearing. 😜

I really do appreciate your message though. It's means a lot to me that there is some people out there who think about how I'm going and check in. In my world it's a rarity, so I'm grateful to have the people who do.

We just find ways to keep going though. Everything inside us screams at us to stop, but we find a way. As I like to say "when it's dark... look for stars." Plus someone has to give Luna and Casper all those cuddles. Well, in my case, when she doesn't see my hand as prey to be attacked. 🤣
