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.

We're all special @MissGremlin .

There are also weighted animals you can get which you place on your lap. They are also amazing to have.

Re: Battles

@tyme indeed we are 😊.

Yes I've been wanting to get a weighted teddy for my lap, reckon it would be good when I'm doing my puzzles or painting.

@NightFury @tyme @MJG017 in case anyone needed a laugh, you can picture this.

So I'm trying to colour in my picture and I've got Casper trying to chew the end of my pencil. He is literally watching it move everytime I try to colour, then trying to grab the end of it 😂.

Re: Battles

One of the two Maine C siblings I had the pleasure of being a cat Mum to, used to do something similar @MissGremlin

I would sit up and draw, and Odin would sit on the desk with me, swatting at the end of the pencil and trying to nom on it! It made drawing near impossible. Lol.

Re: Battles

...and just like that my mindset shifts and I don't know why.

I'm going to go to bed. Good night @MissGremlin @tyme
