Managing thoughts of suicide & self-harm

Battles

Battles

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 have 4 tattoos, 3 of them are my dogs that I've lost paw prints with their names and date of birth and the day i lost them, although I'm still yet to add the 4th one. I love how you've used them to tell your story ♥️.

@AuntGlow yeah it would be, it's something I've wanted to do for quite a while now but I've been told they aren't healed enough to tattoo over which makes me feel sad and disheartened cos its already been 3 years and I thought by now it would have been ok.

You're welcome @AuntGlow

I love the idea of commemorating your beautiful pets. @MissGremlin

I also have a blue bird on my leg for my Nan who has passed. We used to sit and drink cups of tea and watch the blue birds in her garden.

I have a Lion on my thigh - a mentor once told me that a Lion walks through the savannah and does his own thing, the other animals are watching him, they're concerned about him...but the Lion, doesn't care. So, be the Lion who walks his own path.

I have posies (flowers) on my arm for my Pop and an arrow with the word believe written in script on it because an arrow has to be pulled backwards in order for it to move forward.

I also have a heart, an anchor and a cross on my wrist with three birds for my grandparents that I've lost - their love anchors me, they are always in my heart and I have faith that one day we'll be reunited.

@AuntGlow can we do a grounding exercise please? Sort of feeling things getting a bit much right now and trying hard to not let it get out of control. I've been trying to work on catching my thoughts and feelings before I get to that point where SH becomes a possibility. At the moment I'm right at that point and I'm trying so hard to do something else.

Re: Battles

Great catching! Hmm, let's do A-Z, but can you list things you can see around you? That could be fun! @MissGremlin 🤩

Re: Battles

@AuntGlow there's not alot around me at the moment, my bedroom is pretty empty and really the only thing I have in front of me is my pencils and other things that I know shouldn't be with me. What about an A-Z of movies?
