Managing thoughts of suicide & self-harm

Battles

Battles

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

@Jynx yeah I got another one going aswell. Usually have 2 going at once, one with pencils and one with gel pens.

My motivation just up and leaves me sometimes. Brain is starting to be dodgy again, like dark thoughts are creeping in. I'm trying to keep them out but they seem to find the tiniest of gaps to sneak in through.

@Jynx definitely wish I could fill the cracks with something, maybe some glitter glue 😂.

I should be ok, just gotta keep myself busy somehow. I hope you have a good night and thankyou for the entertaining chats tonight ❤️.

Hey @MissGremlin, i'm doing okay. I got an email this morning from some writer from Cancer Today, some American magazine. He wanted to interview me for an article on one of the new treatments. So i had a zoom meeting with him just before lunch. The rest of the day was much less eventful... did some shopping, did a little bit of gaming, and worked on an assignment... yawn. 😄

Tomorrow we're having a birthday lunch for Lynda's niece. I printed her a little cat puzzle as a little bonus gift, but not looking forward to the lunch. You know... Mr invisible again. So a couple of hours sitting there twiddling my thumbs. There's worse things i guess so I can't complain.

How has your Saturday been?

Re: Battles

@MJG017 oohh that interview sounds exciting, look at you being all famous 😂. The rest of the day sounds relaxing, just the usually daily activities 😊.

Awww i hope she has a good birthday and I'm sure she will love the puzzle you made for her. Hopefully the time goes fast for you and that it's not too painful having to be there. You definitely aren't invisible here, you are very much seen and valued ❤️.

My day has been ok i guess, started off pretty crappy and I've shut-down to the real world at the moment. @Jynx really put me in a good mood with our entertaining conversations so I'm feeling a bit better than I was. You know how it goes though, the night time always seems to bring the dark thoughts.

@MissGremlin

Yeah, the night time always seems to amplify things for me as well. It's seems easier to distract myself during the day. I can at night as well sometimes, but it's the being in bed, in the dark and quiet where my mind really does like to have it's little doom and gloom chats with me. It's like of those really annoying people that even if you tell them to bigger off, they just keep talking and talking. How do you slap a brain?

I'm glad @Jynx brightened you day. It's funny how they seem to have a knack for doing that.
