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 coffee in front of the fire sound nice. My roast is ready so I'm about to nibble on some. What do you need to get at IGA?

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin I love sour lollies, but they are also a strategy my counsellor gave me to try.

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin she gave me three strategies, one didn't work, actually it did the opposite, I think and got super disheartened, so I'm trying another.

Re: Battles

@NightFury just remember it takes time for these things to work if they are going to. And it's often a skill that has to be learnt.

Re: Battles

@MissGremlin that reminder keeps coming up - it takes time, give it time. Maybe I need to write it somewhere or like...have an "it takes time" reminder person.

Re: Battles

@NightFury i know it can be frustrating to hear but I've had to be reminded aswell. I'm more than happy to remind you of it if you like?
