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

Thanks @NightFury. My theory is that my life is pretty dark so I try to use bright colours to lessen the darkness.

I love that @MissGremlin

So...I like to draw characters. Here's one I did a few months ago now for one of my students...

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin thank you. I tend to only draw when a student asks for it but I've been enjoying the brain break from drawing the Art club prompts.

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin i wonder if you could try a little at a time? Do some, leave it, come back later?

Re: Battles

@NightFury that's usually what I do. But at the moment I've lost joy in everything.

Re: Battles

I'm sorry to hear that @MissGremlin. It's hard. I'm there with you - sometimes it's hard to find the good amongst it all.
