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

Yeah that's fair that you can't say on here @MissGremlin. I should have thought about that! Hopefully you get through soon 🙂

Can you snack on something while you wait on hold? Or make a cup of tea or something?

RiverSeal ❤️

Re: Battles

@RiverSeal i really hope so cos things aren't good at the moment (I'm trying to stay safe).

I can't eat or drink anything at the moment cos I feel sick.

Re: Battles

Ok, I can relate to that @MissGremlin , as I used to get really nauseous too. I used to hold ice cubes in my hand to distract my mind from the nauseous feeling, and it would pass. Have you ever tried that or something else that has worked in the past? RiverSeal

Re: Battles

@RiverSeal I've taken a tablet to help with the nausea, I have emetophobia so it's not helping with everything else that's happening right now.

Re: Battles

I see @MissGremlin that must be challenging to have emetophobia. I am still here for a little while and there will be another moderator on shift when I finish at 10 pm. Hopefully you have gotten through by then 🙂 Are you still listening to music or just sitting in the quiet? RiverSeal

Re: Battles

@RiverSeal it can be challenging but I've learnt to live with it mostly. I just got through but it wasn't a good fit with the person I talked to unfortunately so I ended the call. I don't know whether to try again or just try to manage on my own. I have music playing still, I did a tiny bit of my colouring but sort of have other things happening.

Re: Battles

That's unfortunate @MissGremlin but I'm really happy that you stayed on the line anyways! I guess it's up to you and how much you want to talk with someone. You can always reach out to your friends here and connect. I am heading off in a few minutes and will be around tomorrow. RiverSeal
