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

@NightFury yeah I have many fidgets but the ice cubes are just so much fun to play with. I only have the couple of things on my lanyard that come out with me, some aren't even fidget toys just things I play with.

Re: Battles

@NightFury yes especially when they are warm. When I first picked it up it was like an actual ice cube, cold and hard 😂

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin apparently you can put them in the freezer to make them cold and hard, but...I like them warm and soft squishy too

Re: Battles

@NightFury in this weather they don't need to go in the freezer to be cold and hard 😂.

Warm and soft and squishy is the only way to have them 😊

Re: Battles

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin I'm trying to write down some points for tomorrow's appointment and it's kinda made me get that panicky feeling.

I'm okay. I'm safe. I just need someone to talk at me...kinda get all sensory...to calm my farm.
