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. For me, sleep can be a bit of a circuit breaker sometimes @MissGremlin

Re: Battles

@tyme I've had 15 hours of sleep in the past 8 days, big danger zone area really. It's so draining and frustrating. I do everything I can to try to get a decent sleep but my body just doesn't allow me to. When I see my doctor on Monday next week I'm going to discuss the possibility of doing a sleep study but at home cos I can't leave Casper alone and my anxiety being in another place trying to sleep wouldn't exactly help the situation.

@MissGremlin How are you lovely? Anything on for you today? Did you get any sleep? I hope you did.

I am full of anxiety after waking up. Trying to calm it down.

Morning @MissGremlin @Cuddlebear

I am not wonderful this morning. Feeling super anxious. I'm at work and trying some strategies to calm and get through the day, but I've had one panic attack at home this morning.

Thank you for checking in.

Re: Battles

@NightFury i hope some of the strategies help you, remember it takes time and practice, don't get discouraged if things don't work straight away or the first time. Also remember to take some deep breaths and just take it one step at a time, you can get through this. Sending you hugs sweet ❤️
