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

@rav3n he definitely does.

It's so cold here today and very windy, if I had an umbrella I'd become Mary Poppins and fly away 😂. I need an iced coffee, which I'll make soon. Hope you stay warm for the rest of the day.

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin I am...not so great.

I don't want to talk about it. I'm sorry.

I have an appointment with a counsellor this afternoon.

Re: Battles

@rav3n haha yes a nice tropical island somewhere 😂.

My iced coffee was ok, not sure i really enjoyed it, didn't last long enough 😂.

I have too much to do and zero motivation to do any of it.

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin haha yes, anywhere i don't need to layer up!!

we need to invest in bigger mugs maybe, feels like there's never enough coffee in the cup 🙃

eeek yep, motivation is tough to get (esp in this weather). what's on your to-do list, can they be pushed over to another day so you can rest up tonight?

Re: Battles

@rav3n yes, there's only so many layers i can handle wearing 😂.

Yes I need bigger glasses for my iced coffees.

I've done pretty much everything I needed to do, I raced around and did it all. So now I can sit for a few minutes until the next thing is ready to do. I've fed Casper and took him out to the toilet. I've been meaning to make my soup for the past 3 days but just haven't had it in me, maybe tomorrow.

Re: Battles

@rav3n I hear you about wanting to go anywhere you don't need to layer up.

I currently don't have heating...so I have my oodie thrown over the top of several layers and I'm still cold.

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin @NightFury you know when you can't be bothered hanging clothes so you just chuck it on a chair and let it pile up? i feel like i'm the chair now and we still have 3 months of winter to go... good luck to us 😅

@MissGremlin and good on you for getting most of it done!! ooo what kind of soup were you planning on making?
