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.

@NightFury i cant even rest. I dozed off for like 10 minutes and now I've woken up having a panic attack and I'm straight away hit with thoughts and urges. Trying to listen to music and playing with my nee doh cube to calm myself down.

How's things going for you?

Re: Battles

Oh @MissGremlin that sounds really challenging.

I've had a shower and washed my dreads, vacuumed the floors and I'm about to hang some washing out.

Things are okay. I'm feeling anxious and kind of dizzy.

@MissGremlin it's a constant companion at the moment, a day to day, all day thing.

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin me too. Some days it's dialled up, some days it's just...present. I have some strategies to try now, to help me regulate it while I'm at work.

Re: Battles

@NightFury it's frustrating that it's just constantly there. Hopefully some of those strategies help while you are at work.

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin if I'm honest, I'm exhausted and frustrated by it and I would just like to find baseline.
