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.

@MissGremlin OMG YUM!!

I know things are a little overwhelming right now, but it sounds like croissant-hunting might be a welcome distraction? Do you have a patisserie you like to go to? 🤩

@AuntGlow nope just my local woolies. Had to stop for a minute as heart rate has spiked and its a bit much. Trying to take some deep breaths and get through the rest of this trip.

I understand, it's such an overwhelming feeling, isn't it? I know you can get through this though. 🥰 Deep breaths are a good idea, taking things slow is allowed.

I am looking forward to croissant updates! 🥐 @MissGremlin

Re: Battles

@AuntGlow i made it out but I forgot things, now I'm in my car crying. I know i need to go back in there to get them but I can't 😭.

There's too much in my head and I just can't focus.

@AuntGlow stupid worker in the shops asked me why they don't see me with my mother anymore cos we used to go to the shops everyday together so that threw me completely out. I'm an emotional wreck now. 😢

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin Gah, that sounds so triggering and frustrating for you... it's a very overwhelming feeling being triggered, especially when we aren't expecting it. What might help you to redirect your attention to something more grounding? Know that I am here with you. ❤️

Re: Battles

@AuntGlow I've kind of thrown myself into doing things to keep my mind distracted. If I stop right now I'm not sure what will happen 🫤.

Thankyou, it helps to know that I'm not alone ❤️.
