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

@MissGremlin I hear ya.

It's frustrating and concerning when you can't find what set it off, or what's causing it.

@MissGremlin I'm sitting in my classroom. Trying for a bit of peace and quiet. My well being today is going South. And I feel really dysregulated. My head feels like it's in a vice, I'm spinny and I feel like I'm going to explode out of my chest. I hate the physical symptoms of my anxiety. I'm okay...just need to take some deep breaths and calm my body.

Re: Battles

@RiverSeal glad to hear it.

I'm a bit overwhelmed today. First thing this morning there was unexpected road works right outside my house so it was very loud and the banging triggered some flashbacks so i had that to deal with, I haven't been able to put my ear buds in as my ears have been sore lately so I couldn't even drown out the noise. Then it's just been very noisy today in general and I've just got that sensory overload happening. I did some cleaning to keep myself distracted and then i made myself a cold Milo and now I'm trying to do my puzzle.

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin @RiverSealgot through the day, sent the kids home to their parents. I'm exhausted and just feeling generally frazzled but the majority of those big sensations in my body have calmed for now. I still feel all churned up in my stomach.

I have to pick my niece up from day care and will be up most of the night studying, so I will be here @MissGremlin on and off.

Re: Battles

@NightFury well done for making it through the school day. Glad the majority of those big sensations have calmed for now, hopefully your stomach settles down for you soon.

Hope you enjoy spending time with your niece. I have to socialise tonight which I'm really not prepared for.
