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

@NightFury it's not just hard, it's impossible. I just want to go to bed and sleep.

@MissGremlin it might feel impossible, but you my friend are already doing it. You fight and you share your compassion and understanding with others here...myself included. I know I appreciate it.

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin it's nice that you get to give your body some down time. But when we stop, that's when the thoughts seem to get the loudest. I know how that feels.

Re: Battles

@NightFury yeah it's hardly down time when you are having to fight yourself to just stay safe.

Hi @MissGremlin

Different day, same sh1t i guess. 😑

Yesterday wasn't exactly 'optimal' but i have a few tasks i need to get done today so it should keep me busy and allow my mind to have a break from everything else. I have my GP appointments this week and i'm quite anxious about it. I know I need to be more assertive with what is going on and ask him for help with it. I really hate the thought of it, it's definitely something 'i have very little experience in' so to speak. I know it's important and now is definitely the time, but well, we'll see how i go. He's be great so far this year so i'm just sort of hoping he talks about it first and i just have to say "Yes please, thank for you organizing all this for me. Here's a chocolate!" Well, we both know that last bit wont happen, I would have eaten the chocolate long before i got there. 😂

How are things in Dreamy-land? Feel free not to answer, or just swear. Which ever is easiest.
