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.

@RiverSeal I'm not too sure 😕. I waited over an hour to talk to someone on lifeline by phone which i don't usually do but I really needed to talk to someone. But I gave up cos I didn't have it in me to wait anymore.

How are you going?

Re: Battles

It's good that you waited for a while @MissGremlin but do you think it might be good to try again? I know how beneficial it can be to talk with someone when we need to and the Forums are not a crisis line like Lifeline. Or is there another line that you have used that you could try? RiverSeal

Re: Battles

@RiverSeal at the moment I just want company. I'm ok, just feeling really low but kind of numb which I'm not used to.

Re: Battles

You have come to the right place for company @MissGremlin as you have many friends here. I encourage you to reach out and chat for a while and update the community about what you have been doing today.

Did you colouring today?

Re: Battles

Don’t worry about me @MissGremlin I made a self care decision and my mood picked up from this morning.

I thought you were struggling too, and wanted to reach out.

Re: Battles

@RiverSeal just not wanting to bother people. Brain is telling me to leave people alone but I'm trying to fight against it.

I haven't done any colouring today. I haven't sat down since 11.50am

Re: Battles

@Appleblossom I'm not sure where I'm really at right now which is not a feeling that I'm used to. Usually I can pinpoint how I feel but right now I can't.

Re: Battles

Oh @MissGremlin you are probably more aware of feelings than me. I have always been sensitive and had feelings but not much language about it.

is it exhaustion or ambivalence?

Re: Battles

I think it's a natural feeling to want to isolate ourselves from our connections when we are not feeling great. I have done it a lot myself in the past. I don't know the science behind it but I think it's a normal human reaction. It's good fight against it like you said and reach out anyways.

What have you been doing all day apart from calling Lifeline?
