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

@Ru-bee it's very touch and go at the moment. Went through a really rough patch just before and couldn't get through to lifeline but i did get through to beyond blue who stayed with me until I could get through to lifeline. I'm out at the moment with Casper so a bit of a distraction for now.

Re: Battles

Good on you for reaching out and finding a workaround when you didn't get through the first time @MissGremlin that's great!

How does Casper go when you take him out? Do you get lots of people wanting to say hello to him?

Re: Battles

@Ru-bee it was a very scary time when I couldn't get through and I started to panic but I thought I would just try beyond blue and thankfully in that moment they were amazing.

I get alot of people talking to me and saying how cute he is and asking lots of questions, doesn't really help one's anxiety 😂. But I do try to answer them and keep calm, it's just really hard to look at them or make eye contact, it's horrible to know that i probably come across as rude but I do try my best not to. He does get some pats but not being fully vaccinated yet I do limit too much contact.

Re: Battles

@Ru-bee i just got home and I'm very shaky and on edge at the moment, my heart rate started spiking on the way home so I was really focused on getting home as quick as possible. Trying to calm myself down now, think I need to eat something but nausea is making that hard.

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin tired, overwhelmed and feeling very fragile. I'm spending some time today just trying to find my centre again and calm the farm.

Thank you for last night.
