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.

I get this, I know it's a lot for you right now... sometimes it helps me to focus on the small things that feel good when I am highly dysregulated. For example, patting Casper may feel good? Maybe wrapping yourself in some blankets could feel soothing?

Or perhaps chatting with your friends here is providing some co-regulation? Is there one small thing you can think of right now?

@AuntGlow i honestly can't think, I'm sorry. My brain is completely fried, I'm struggling to remember anything.

I'm here, I'm trying to have small conversations other than that there's really not much I can do right now.

Things are never normally this bad but what happened last night well it's just really sent everything out of control. I'm trying my hardest to get through this, I'm reaching out when I need to even if at times I'm being let down I'm still trying. I'm hurting beyond words and the fear is something I can't explain.

@MissGremlin ahh yes, a Labrador! officially my dream dog breed for when i'm ready to adopt one.

oh damn!! maybe you can one day crotchet some matching scarves instead? haha you're right, i dress up my build-a-bear more now, at least he doesn't throw off the clothes i buy!

just saw your recent post - i'm so so sorry to hear that last night was rough. i'm really glad you're working hard on staying safe - even if it's second by second, that takes a lot of strength. and it's good for the community to know that you are looking out for yourself and ready to call supports when it reaches that stage. we gotta hop off now but pls do continue to connect with others. sending you gentle hugs 💗

@rav3n Labradors really are the best, such gentle giants.

Build a bears are so much fun to dress up and yes they can't throw the clothes off.

Thankyou. Hope to chat to you again sometime, have a good night ❤️.

Please know that I've been so thankful to be able to connect here with everyone ❤️
