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 these appointments are good things, but they're really overwhelming at the same time.

Re: Battles

@NightFury you are doing amazing and I'm so proud of you.

It's been a long time since I've had the courage to talk to a counsellor due to past experiences so that's been a big step for me.

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin I don't feel like I've grown. There must be some growth in there, but I don't feel it within myself. Hearing someone say that I've grown is nice though, because I'm aware that I don't often see myself as others do.
