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.

@NightFury Thank you! 🌞

That's okay, mindful walking can be done any time! But maybe when you have some time to get out in nature, that could help with even further grounding?

Hmm, it could be very well what you shared earlier - your body adjusting to this medication. Have the sensations settled at all?

These are wonderful points of neutrality! I am sure it felt really heartwarming to know you were such a light for this young person. We absolutely need more teachers like you. 🥰

@AuntGlow i just can't say anything to her. She knows what things are like, she knows i need her. I should have known better, she wasn't there for me on a day i needed her the most rather did a selfish act to draw the attention to herself and that was the day I had to put my dog down last year. She promised me she would be there and she wasn't.

Re: Battles

@AuntGlow mindful walking sounds interesting.

They've been on and off throughout the day - not really settling but maybe fading into the background as I focused on teaching and my students.

I really want to validate your disappointment here; it sounds like a really vulnerable day for you... what do you think you need most right now? @MissGremlin 💛

@AuntGlow maybe a distraction, other than that I really don't know.

Here's Casper in his vest.

Oh, my goodness, I bet this little baby in his vest is a welcome distraction! 🥺 Can you please give him a hug for me? 🤩 @MissGremlin

@AuntGlow he is sleeping now after being at the shops with me. He gets lazy and stops walking on the way out so I have to carry him out 😂. I will give him cuddles when I can sit down for 5 seconds.

@NightFury he does look a bit cute in it. How are you feeling now?

Re: Battles

@AuntGlow ok now I really need some help to try to calm down. Feel like doing a grounding exercise with me please?

@MissGremlin I've just got home from work and have lit the fire. I have an appointment with my counsellor in about 15 minutes, so I'm just waiting for that.
